Is Hip Hop Dying......or being clouded
 

in the game today hip hop is being clouded with the image of money and jewelry, bitches, weed, and, "gangsta shit"!

Take for example back in the original days of hip hop...it was a form of expresson and battles took place on the block....and it was all love....now they flood the industry wit fuckin money and wealth and who's more gangsta then who and shit. I wanna go back to a time where lyrics actually ment something and it wasn't just fuckin suburbian ass kids that are dying to be hood... lemme get ya thoughts

thats oldschool man, the suburb kids all listen to mainstream so thats why that shit is comin up. but we still listen to stuff wit lyrics its out there u jus gota search for it

Don don't stereotype upon location like that...
and yes hihops ALREADY DEAD.Its hard to say but it is.
Just because some people still listen to real hiphop
don't mean its still alive.Jazz and blues is dead.
But people still listen to it right?Its gone to lol

*puts flower next to hiphop tombstone*

Yes...Hip Hops dying...but Sollution will fix that :thumbup:

its not a stereotype its true...dont correct me upon secondhand knowledge like that...

True Hip Hop, ya that is basically dead. It's like, on a resperator with the few "underground" artists still out there. Hip Hop isn't dead, it is just having a different principle.

its jus changing theres nothin else to talk about so theyre moving on...they talked about the "struggle"...now they talk bout how rich they r and how good life is for a change

VERB :cool:<~~~~sunglasses

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WERD
hip-hop aint dead..... hiphop has evolved,,,, only tru has died...... not all hip-hop....
they used to rap bout the stuggle as DOn said... agreed.... these days they rap bout how rich they wnna be..... agreed.. why?? cuz that stuff died out...
HIPHOP has evolved..
i used to think gangsta rap had died,,, after pac died... like all these fake as whores like 50 rap.. thats when i thought it died... but no it hasnt... they rap bout gangsta rap.. but only thin is in a different way... cuz its evolved..

i mean..... rap has become or taken new levels... or stages.... in the future they wont talk bout how rich they are... or maybe they will or they might talk about sumthin else.. sumthin brand new..a new topic... u kno??
rap has evolved.. it hasnt died ... you JUST CANT SEE IT...

WERD TO DON

Man.. If you made this thread mid-last year. You would have a point.

Hip hop cant die and infact, industry cats are saying that the next big thing will be interlectual rappers that can tell a dope story. Thats real hip hop.

Plus look at the media today.. Rap music runs the shit, its always gonna be there.

If anything the bling bling era is dying and making way for better forms of rap.

Um... I listen to rock. You liar.

your rights dieing R.I.P

ok.... but if hip hop isn't dying and you say it's "evolving" or "Transforming" then as you say it's "Transforming" in to something that hip hop should have never been about....i hate when you see videos like Lil'Flip's "This is the way we ball" and he's talkin a bunch a shit like ridin on 22's and people say that's "Original Hip Hop" and even tho those people are MOTHAFUCKIN RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It pains me deeply when that shit is said...cuz hip hop is getting more fans that don't know WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!! If people were more educated then that would solve questions like "How can an artist (50 Cent) make the biggest bullshit album and still sell over 20million copies?" You say not to stereotype but it's actually true....so..........fuck it....facts don't lie

hip-hop ain't dead, dying, clouding, or any other shit like that
its CHANGING- any music genre doesnt stay the same forever, rap is no exception

clouded????or u mean crowded......lol yea it is crowded.....yea too much wack artist like Dem franchis boys and some others but who cares that how it is.....
