07 was somewhat better for hip hop than 06. The biggest decline continues to be in album sales. Kanye, Jay, & T.I. were good enough to hit multiplatinum status in 07. Albums by The Game, Snoop, GFK & others pulled in solid numbers. 50's album was complete trash, being repetitive. Who knows what's in the cards for hip hop in 08!
Some old beefs were deaded in 07. T.I. &Luda killed their beef by appearing together on stage. 50 & Lil' Kim have a new song out. BG"supposedly" got back with the worst fraud in hip hop, Birdman.
