Is bling dead?
I don't really know. Maybe it died already and I'm just so out of touch with hiphop that I don't know. But I find it difficult to believe that the entire industry can stop on a dime and undo what it has been doing for all these years.
The last time I checked in, Flo Rida had his new cheering dance song and was still wearing the big gold. Around that same time, that girl group Pussycat Dolls had a big hit starting off about wanting to be a movie star. Now that was several months ago. Has bling changed that much? Is hiphop fast enough to make money on the fact that people are starting to lose their jobs? Is there resentment in the streets for rappers who still talk about how much money they make?
