biggest disappointment |
| that our nation voted to keep an administration in office who has clearly lied to us continually. Im disappointed that people believe what they hear rather than seeing the actions taking place. |

hip hop in 2005 will be... |
| should continue to get better. We usually get good music when we have bad times in our county. I'll explain: |
| Regan - 1980 – 1988 = extreme hardships for the average = dope hip hop. |
| Bush 1 – 1988 – 1992 =more extreme hardships for the average = dope hip hop + gangsta rapper. |
| Clinton – 1992 – 1996 = People are still pissed from 12 years of Regan / Bush = dope hip hop. |
| Clinton – 1996 – 2000 = Economy is good, people are getting more comfortable = Hip Hop is being ruined by corporations. |
| Bush 2 – 2000 – 2004 = Pissed off people = Good music starts making a comeback. |
| Bush 2 – 2004 - ? = Even more pissed off people = more great music. |
