Since I never recieved an answer...
To the question "why couldn't there be more black star albums?" I will instead pose to the heavens a new question: "Can we go back in time and make the first black star album bigger?" So big infact that all of this flashy, unskilled, hip-pop product would never have been bought. So many people would have realized what hip hop should be, and what it is capable of that the world would be instantly revolted by aural attrocities like "lip gloss". Full scale, broom waving shenanigans would be called on hip hop artists who betray the spirit of the music to pursue pop crossover hits like Will.I.AM. and Timbaland's fat ass. So that when I turned on the radio I felt entertained, even mentally stimulated, instead of hating my own ability to hear.
Just imagine the possibilities in a world like that. When people want to know what is going on in rap they'll interview someone like common, or maybe hi-tek, not puff or jay-z. It would be mos-def moving the nets to brooklyn, and perhaps sending a peace seeking envoy to darfur with the proceeds from his numerous platinum records. Cristal, Jacob the Jeweler, Bentley, Sprewell motorsports, and the "rent a booty" acting agency would all be out of business. Wouldn't it just be magical?

I don't know if that world is fading or growing, but it does exist on the ipods of more people than you may think. the revolution will not be televised.
