wat happen to hip-hop
 

hip hop use to be mad good to listen to but now they only talk about the high lie and shit

yo dawg this is prolly the best thread ever hip hop has lost its ways and everything else it dont have a flow to it no more no beats no good lyrics on whats happening
hip hop use to be about the struggle but now its all changed from losses to hoes
from rappin its about the money sometimes i think most these cats dont even diserve to be hip hop artists.. like emeinem lil jon all da other peeps who i think shouldnt be out there shouldnt... but still what did happin to hip hop most cats dont know cuz they to bust listening to this so called rap hip hop it aint nuttin like it use to be...

well Cass just need money but hes ill.....

hahah Hip hop has been goin on even b4 i was born Im only 12 but wen i was little I use to only listen to old skool

Hip Hop has definately evolved mostly because of Money and Politics i'd say. Talib has always been real though.

^yea thats true

yea theres still a good amount of emcees in the game....

Immortal Technique
Talib Kweli
Nas
Mos Def
Kanye West

etc....many more....

they are the best catz of our time

Hip hop, in a way, has gotten better. You don't hear boring punchlines nearly as much. There are people who spit complex ones that aren't like "im the barker like bob" type shit, except the South, because lyricalwise they're 25 years behind. Some rappers make you think, instead of just telling a story any dumbass could follow. Overall mainstream wise, it's bad as it's ever been. Dudes like Petey Pablo and Bonecrusher control the charts ahhaha.

yo, there still are some amazing hip hop artists out there that still care about rhymin on whats real and the important things that are going on in the world,like nas, common, mos def, talib kweli, kanye, so there is some hot shit still on the charts, but i agree with you telekast too, southern rap and hip hop is just garbage, catchy hooks but garbage none-the-less.....

Underground owns.

Fuck the mainstream trash.

violence in hip hop is also quite a horrible thing and i think it contributed to the downfall of hip hop, and even though they were somewhat great rappers, pac and brought it to the point that it was cool to have a gun and kill people, when at the same time they were talking about respiration in black communities and how the young black youth needed more of a positive upbringing, i mean it's fine to talk about the shit you experience every day and the bad stuff you went through, but once you take it to the point in which you are rich and famous and are talking about murder and promoting it something is really wrong

you one smart cat! :thumbup:

yea thats tru....
but it has changed but still somepeople still dont follow other's like mase ...

and the people the immortal stated that some might follow but other's follow there own path

i think hip hop is gonna be bigger than ever and tha violence u aint gonna change so dont even try but lyrcist wise we runnin out fast we got a few good ones left witch would be NAS but he's growin old EM but he's goin to gangsta for me the only real 2 we got anymore is jadakiss and dmx o yea and tha best lyrcist ever talib kweli pc

what, do you want hip hop to stay violent? if so youre just an idiot trying to be true to the street by supporting the very thing that instigates the fuse to gunfire and helps to digest the hip hop we know and love into shit
dmx?? dmx??? DMX???? what the fuck is that, how is he real, he's just a little bitch who barks in order to seem rough and hard and cusses out commercial hip hop as he shoots his video for get it on the flo' in the club partying as he still attempts to maintain his thug image, the bitch is worth millions, but in order to make an even bigger "gangsta" appeal to fans hi jacks a car that he could by hundreds of after he's been in hollywood for almost 10 years, dmx is a bitch and should have never been released into hip hop

50cent talkin bout killin ppl if u watched da bet awards u see doug-e fresh and slick rich and all them rip the stage now thats music...Not that yayea okkk shit..or buck got that kokane and i got a glock 9....u kno that real shit....NWa Started It But its Gangster hiphop u got 2 be a gangster 2 rap...But That Shit On Tha Bet Awards Had it right..

mobb deep suck now, havoc doesn't even make the beats but rhymes mediocre, and prodigy doesn't even rhyme now and mumbles his shitty flowing verse, disagree?

Yo, party over here aint shit over there
The Mobb Deep boys got it locked right here
Wherever we at we keep the cliqs right there
So where ever there's beef is gettin fixed right there
And they can't stop us, they too scared
They know a caliber thug shoot at heads nigga
Q.B. drop you off at that bridge (bye bye)
Show you how we do it in Queens
Murder aint shit nigga
This is P talking show you where I live
You come right through my crib (cmon) and get a few seers
There'll be manslaughter right in front of my kids
A little blood get on my daughter, that's nothing she'll live (just whipe that off)
Got cops shoot to death of us
We don't like D's
You never catch us runnin with the police (nope)
Ya'll niggas get ya'll vests up
And ya'll better invest in some real heavy bulletproof paneling

Mobb deep was sick and 2Pac is still sick and always will b
