is hiphop dead?
 

i have been at the hiphop party today and people said hiphop is dead, is hiphop dead?

I still got her perfumes in my empty rooms
Hip hop is not dead

people like birdman did a good job of turning hip hop into a show of wealth

but it's all good

Hip Hop is stale as hell right now but it is not dead. There are a good amount of hip hop related forums that have a lot of members who post constantly, XXL has a decent sized circulation. It's been my experience that people who say hip hop is dead are those who are still stuck in the boom bap era.

Word is Cash Money started as a front for another operation....

It's just changing, listen to Drake if you like some lyrical stuff mixed with the new style shit.



Why wouldn't it still be?

Drake is gonna be the next Lil Wayne, and I don't mean in terms of Lil Wayne's style, I mean in terms of how he's going to be at the "top" soon. Promise you.

Respect my Conglomerate.

Eyedea & Abilities, Surreal and the Sound Providers, Blue Scholars, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Brother Ali..

Just gotta look harder past all the superficial bullshit that makes its way onto TV.

Asher Roth is also going to be HUUUUUUUUUGE soon.

Just listen to this shit, omg:

I sure fucking hope so...it's garbage music.

I do like Madcon, though. At least they actually make music.

Hip-hop is like the economy, it is cyclical with ups and downs.

You had young Run-DMC, Whoudini, EPMD, and Rakim...

then things went stale...

Then NWA came to the scene and the blew the shit up...

then things went stale...

Then Tupac, Dre, B.I.G. and Nas brought hip-hop back...

then things went stale

Eminem, 50 Cent, early Cash Money, Mos Def brought hip-hop back...

and here we are now..things are stale (and Lil' Wayne sucks now...he was good back in the Bling Bling days with Cash Money..but now he is an idiot)

Real Rap died when eazy e , tupac , and biggie died..... All this new age hip hop is shit ... i'm so sick of it.... only respectable group today is bone thugs n harmony , but looks like they having some issues putting out a new album

RIP rap music

Must have been a lame party for them to come to that conclusion.. lol

hip hop is dead. auto-tune killed it

You heard Guru from Gangstarr's latest album? He makes auto tune sound good.

Hip Hop is not dead if you listen to the good underground shit.

Anyone remember House of Pain back in the day? They are still going under a new alias:-

La Coka Nosta

I can't believe how fucking overused this shit is now...on every kind of pop music, sounds like total fucking shit. Way to go Cher's producer.

Are you talking about this hip hop?

hiphop not dead

:pimp:pimp:pimp

No one in NWA was a gangster. :2 cents:

In fact if you want to read some crazy shit about hip hop (probably the craziest shit you'll read all year TBH) check this out: http://slumz.boxden.com/showthread.php?t=341836

That thread has been going since '05!

nicely summed up, although rap gets so outdated. back in the day nwa ect was the shit, now i cant stand any of that crap..

i am amazed that nobody posted anything from madlib and stonesthrow, anything they throw out is a pure future of hiphop imho, most of your posts are variations on eminem etc ... :2 cents:



:thumbsup

figured this needed a bump

i dont like hip hop, so...i hope yeah


TROLLING, LOL

I dont think so..

fucking is good

google

" jay electronica exhibit b"

Tupac the king !!

How can something be dead, if it was never worth being alive anyway?

Hiphop is to music what Taco Bell is to fine dining.

i like gangsta rap ill listen to mostly anything

Dead yes

it aint dead, but it's so riddled with tumors that it looks like it might prefer death.

It's been dead.

whats hiphop

Still lot's of good hip hop out there. Just need to dig a little deeper. The wack ass candy rappers on the radio isn't really considered hip hop.

they said hip hop, not some lame whiney backpacker bullshit.

Nope, its not dead.

what is it?

its all about trance, house and techno now : D

Check out Kytemen's hiphop orchestra

Damn straight... it's like classic rock, lots of great shit to listen to but nothing new coming out :/

So hip hop is.... softer beats with simple words tossed over it?

That's an honest question, all the 'hip hop' videos in this thread have very simple beats - many that you could make on your home pc - with very simple raps put over them.

This is probably why it seems like it's dead, it all seams the same.

I think it is. All this new bullshit they call hip/hop is gay as hell.

it seemed dead in the mainstream...and it should stay dead after that whack performance at the grammy awards, black eyed peas should stick to pop cause they suck at rap, and the rap performance by lil wayne and those other clowns...they had to cut off the sound on TV over and over again....real dumb to have a bunch of low lifes cursing on a prestigous music awards show that is being shown around the planet. It just makes americans look stupid. They should do what they did in the past and just give the rap awards before the show starts. Also what was up with all the Jayz kiss assing...all the presenters and hosts kept giving him props. Remember he got his start from dealing drugs...then he was able to start his recored label with that money.

I like classic hip hop. :pimp

i SERIOUSLY hope so ... RAP is CRAP and has always been :2 cents:
