In five to ten years what do you predicte will happen to hip-hop..

I belive their won't be anymore Ja Rule...instead a protege of his which won't sell and Murder Inc will be in the slums.

Their will be a new hardcore clique sort of like Onyx

Pop rap will be a fad of the past

.....drop your predictions....

This is honest, not that I want it to happen but I don't think rap will be as strong as it was ever again.

The only way to keep hip hop alive is get some true emcees and give them some acceptable deals in which they can spit true shit other then "poppin criss" or "ridin on 24's" cuz that shit is allright for parties or one hit wonders but it's trash after awhile.

4 sure Ja will be gone and I only welcome that thought with open arms, he's a fuckin virus in the hip hop community. Him and the Inc can go hide away and sell, "Best of..." cd's till they're old and withered.

I think another big killing will occur, it just seems to be a trend(knock on wood) I hope it doesn't but god knows it will in the future.

A lot of pop/hip-hoppers will try to gain the young woman's attention (sort of like a Justin Timberlake with an Enyce suit on)It will certainly foul the air waves.

Shady records will have drafted another person into their squad by 5 years at the most. They will remain pretty hot for awhile.

ROC will lay-off rapping for a little bit, releasing only certain tracks and once again "Best of..." albums. They will focus on fashion...i think.

Underground artists will gain more respect (wishful thinking) and a lot of ppl will notice the true talent.

I ain't no Ms. Cleo but it's just an images I have

I am the Phuture Of Hiphop, as my custom text says.


Honestly though, i doubt much will change, there will be the same hip-pop stuff for ther nelly types and the demigodz types for the underground heads.

White Rappers Will Rule The World

^^^I Had To Say It, Sorry

Well In The Next 5 - 10 Years I Hope America Realizes How
Much They Fucked Up By Buying The Wrong Product

No More - 50 Cent, Eminem, Ludacris, Ja Rule, etc.

And They Realize How Much Better The Indie Rappers Are

^^^Well, We'll Have To Just Wait -N- See

~1~

i think there will be more white rappers but they won't rule... no shit like b2k...IMX...or anything like that....no fake ass rappers that pretend to be hard but grew up in fancy neighborhoods and went to private schools....no ashanit....or girls who can't really sing but look like whores...nothing like that...hottie will rule the rap and r & b scene...hehe

I predict that someone, namely me, is going to create a religeon that is strongly influenced by Hip-Hop. But is also going to center around early paganism, wicca, native american earth medicine, hiatian vudun, and west african beliefs.

I also predict that turntablism will gain a lot more respect, but I suspect it will be for all the wrong reasons. (Folks'll want to hear scratching but not have a clue as to what it means to mix breakbeats.)

I predict that while our current underground artists will go down in obscurity, it will set a path for future artists. There will be more artists, popular artists, that will be like Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Slug, Eyedea, blah blah blah.

There will also be a new female artist. A female rapper who doesn't base her music on acting like a slut with no self respect and a myriad of male and female sexual relations. But will actually base her music on actual talent.

And finally, I predict that graffiti artists will start writing on the oceans on huge murals that can only be seen from the sky. B'boy's and girls will incorporate Tao into their philosophy's and Kung Fu and Caporeia into their dance moves. And some Dj will come along and find some real nifty trick that involves three turntables and a sequencer.

~Shalom~

Mainstream rap will forever reign. Hip Hop, in my own opinion, died long ago. It died the day 2pac released "Hit em Up". From that point on, beef became "cool and profitable".

As long as suburban kids rebel, rap will exist. Kid have rebelled for decades now... and I don't see it coming to an end. Not to mention with the net, I don't see a "hardrockbattles.com" appearing anytime soon. The day it does appear, I wont be living...

in 2016 the fall of mainstream hip hop will have officially affected the world.."The Talent Wars" will begin and by 2033, hip hop itself will diverge into two types of underground...

People who sound like Anticon
And People who sound like Definitive Jux

Until by the Year 3092, all the possible combinations for words will be used up and no original material will be available...

then the world will end.

Choke and be free.

Rap has changed once...and it is going to change again for the worse.....more and more rappers will rap just for the mainstream....only few heads will be doing it for the love....so in the future their will be more cash money millionaires...and less and less people like mos def...talib kwali....their will be alot of rich rappers but it just wont be the same......their wont be another biggie or 2pac either....

*shakes head and leaves
