The Evolution of the Hip Hop Lifestyle

Throughout the history of rap the style has become increasingly more bling blingy as time goes by. Things just keep getting more and more extravagant, so I've been wondering what's the next step after rapper's bling can't get any better and they can't get any higher? There's a limit to how many DVD players and X Boxes you can fit into your Mercedes. So how can tomorrow's rappers tell the world that they're rich and rapperific in a new way? I think in the next few years we are going to see a style change in which the new cool thing will be a "retirement home" style. I mean, nothing says relaxation, easy street and "I've made it" like retirement. I have forseen rappers in tricked out wheel chairs, popping medication and wearing velcrow shoes. Now, pimp canes will be pimp walkers and hootchies will have to have a degree in medicine and senior care.
I also had a vision of the post retirement era. Then the cool thing will be the funeral home style. Walking and moving in general will no longer be hip, coffins are where it's at. The biggest names in rap music will have their posse act as pall bearers.
w00t w00t!
