If you had three wishes for the future of hip hop, then what would it be? A bunch of hip hop thinkers will be on hand at NYU this Saturday to answer. More details:
"We've given some of the sharpest critical minds in music five minutes each to offer three wishes for the next three years of hip-hop. Destined to be a controversial evening, the panel includes luminaries: Ta-Nehisi Coates (Time, Village Voice), Jaylah Burrell (Pop Matters), Richard Goldstein (former Voice editor), Margo Jefferson (Pulitzer Prize-winner, New York Times), Bakari Kitwana ("Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop), Sacha Jenkins (Ego Trip co-founder), Cristina Verán (One World) and Oliver Wang ("Classic Material," Vibe)."
Having read so much material from all these guys I feel like I can already predict Jenkins' smart remark, Verán's sunny optimism, and Coates' quiet disapproval.
I plan to bring a can of crunk juice to the panel, so I can take a swig every time someone declares, "Hip Hop Is Dead". I call it the Future of Hip Hop Drinking Game. I'm asking the promoters to put the whole discussion on YouTube so you can play along at home.
Jay-Z will die...of natural causes. The hip-hop universe will crowd around him, declare him the true greatest ever and there will be a beef between Biggie backers and Jay supporters. Surprisingly, Memphis Bleek will be on the Biggie side saying, "I got nothing in that will-- no-thing. He promised on wax!" Mike Jones will choke on his own vomit but he will not be drunk or unconscious while doing so. Mas and Cam will reconcile and move to England to become official "partners." Papoose will become homeless.

Gucci Maine would collaborate with Busta Flex (French rapper) and Youg Jeezy would do a collabo with Kool Shen (French rapper, arch nemesis of Busta Flex). (yes, im French)
Tip and Flip would do a duo LP (Lil' Scrappy-Triville a-like).
Bow Wow would wipp Romeo's ass (because of his pop's attitude).
