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

That's Beast!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.

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.
