Those guys are gods.

There are no new gods.
that's because MTV & radio kind of pushed this whole urban thing for so long; it really hurt rock music in general - now kids are finally getting sick of rap - hip hop sales are way down for the first time and rock is starting to make a resurgence - the icons have been rappers for a long time and they just don't have the same mystique as rock stars - hopefully it will keep turning around for the better...
