No one will know what hip-hop was in a hundred years. But they'll still be listening to Beethoven and Mozart. This has nothing to do with skin color, but with what constitutes valuable music. Need more proof? Miles Davis and Oscar Peterson will be remembered long after today's hip-hop artists are gone.
