god, stfu.

Most rappers have other people make beats for them. These people are called producers.

DJ Premier
Pete Rock
Jay Dilla
Dr Dre
DJ Hi-Tek
The Beatminerz
Large Professor
RZA
Tony Touch
Marley Marl
Prince Paul
Will.I.Am
9th Wonder
DJ Spinna

....Are all very successful producers.....If a rapper chooses to have a producer make a beat for him, it certainly does not mean he can't do it himself. It's just another job in the industry, and another level of appreciation for audiences and fans to acknowledge.

There's plenty of good new school rap. Just little or no good COMMERCIAL new school rap, except for artists like Jurassic 5, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious and Mos Def.....

KRS and Ice Cube aren't anything spectactular anyway. There's a bunch of good new school artists that sound far better than they ever did.
