Mr. Simmons, the impresario who was a founder of the Def Jam label, said that at first he had feared that hip-hop's inclusion in a major museum would mean it had lost its power and novelty. His initial thought when contacted by the Smithsonian, he said, was "It must be over."

Wow it took them that long to realize it was over? It's dead right now... but I know the next wave of engineers and musician will revive it... Music always goes in stages... not always predictable ones... but it does go in stages
