VIBE magazine proclaimed in their december issue that Plies was the future of rap music. I asked several artists if they agree or disagree.

I feel as long as you make a true effort to write and make good music you move Hip Hop foward and Piles does that! The length of you carreer is the true test of a Hip Hop artist. 5 albums. 10 albums? Thats whats up. Not ringtones! Good luck Piles. Keep bangin em out. Ice T

Anyone can be labeled the “future of Hip Hop”… because just like in any genre of music, its sounds and artists change with the time. Plies is a great artist, performer, all that, and he’s definetly making his imprint in rap music’s history, and that’s all that needs to be worried about. Two years ago we weren’t doing any shows, hardly any fanbase, and now we’re selling nationally in online orders and iTunes… does that make us the “future of Hip Hop”? Naw, we just doing good, and will strive to do more and more

I would disagree very strongly! That nigga aint even a blip in the radar screen!

I disagree, why would he be the future oh hip hop? He has his own image and his own style which is pretty good, but he isn’t that unique. I ain’t hatin on him at all I like some of his songs, but he needs to step up his game a lot! He said he wouldn’t go commercial but every song he has on the radio is about something a million people already rapped about.. I think he has the potential but its up to if he tries or not. Lil Wayne went platinum in less then a week didn’t he? Has Plies even sold that after all these months?

Not one to hate, I congratulate Plies because he is a lot more intelligent then what the cooperate machine depicts him as. I do think however that this question can be interpreted as a metaphor on many different levels, it’s just all in how you view it. Plies represents the face of unwarranted expression. Do I think that’s the future? Yes. Do I think he’s the world’s most prolific rhymer? No. Hip Hop comes in all shapes, sizes, and in this instance “faces”. What Plies brings to the table is simply one variation of a whole conglomerate. He represents a portion of America that exercises their right to opinion so like it or not, his offerings will be sealed, signed, and delivered to the masses; by choice or force.

I dont think Plies is the future but I definately feel that he is apart
of it. I honestly don’t think you can pin point one artist as the future
of hip hop. The future of hip hop is always going to be a collective
movement of artist that define all the different aspects of hip hop.
Plies is definitely apart of it, but he won’t be the only one.
