When Nas recorded Who Killed It? a couple of years ago, the song (a clever and slightly schizoid metaphor about the death of hip hop laid on top of the I Ain’t No Joke drum loop) sparked a big debate about whether hip hop was dead or not (and most importantly, about who, in case, was responsible for killing hip hop).

Now, the fact that many people were questioning the “Hip Hop is Dead” title to begin with, is a good indication that maybe no killing took place (and it is also an indication of how influential Nas still is, whether we like it or not).

If in any instance, God forbid, I was in charge of a murder investigation, there are certain people I would call to give a statement, Columbo-style, given their blatant lack of a credible alibi.

Forget the autotune boys, the Dirty South ballers and the ringtone rappers. They are just the last ones in a long line of clowns. Here are the real suspects, brace yourself because there will be some surprises.
