Is modern day rap slowly dying?

seems like these days...in order to record a ''hit'' in the rap game...all you need is a tight beat?

lyrical content dont seem to matter in the game these days?

would y'all agree?

let's see some opinnons, yo.

i agree to a certain extent.

I think its mainly cos theres a lot of cats out there that can spit madd lyrics, but unless the beat backs it up, no one really wants to know.

So really if ya beat is that good, the vocal only has to be half decent cos its the beat that grabs people

'05/'06? Man, you're more behind the times than Flava Flav. Commercial rap has been dead since 2003 at least.

fuck making a "hit" to make a hit you need to sell your soul. sellout to mainstream,sell out to the commercialism wrecking our culture.

I make music for me, and seen as Im the same as alot of real rap heads,there will be the selected few that like it. (the true school)
Im not making music to be "number one" or "to make alot of cash" I make music for the straight fact to make music, fuck the mainstream, only the true undergrounds heads care for hip hop culture.
We are the ones making music for each other,not for 8 year old kids to yell "just loose it nah nah nah nah"

My favorite rap songs came 3-4 years ago when Eminem was hot in his prime. Now he's gettin whack as all. Then there was 50 Cent with In Da Club, Wanksta, and 21 Questions. Then Ludacris had Move Bitch and Roll Out...Nelly was hot then too with Air Force 1s, Country Grammer, #1. Then there was some Outkast songs......That was the first time I got to like rap a lot mainly because of some of these songs.
