If you had a gun pointed at your head and were ready to kill yourself because hip hop just wouldn't go away, I think it's time to put the gun down (don't forget to release the one in the chamber).

The likes of the Killers, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Keane (Coldplay 2005?), etc. are trying to slay the ugly, ugly hip hop beast (don't get me wrong, there are a couple of hip hop tracks that I'm down with, but how many songs do you need with guys barking like dogs and trying to act ruff?). I know I'm a little late to the party as for music, but have you turned on the radio lately? I haven't. And it's because hip hop took over everything and made it all sound

Put down the gun, buy these, and rejoice in the end of hip hop:
