Hip Hop Dead? ...HELL NO

[ArtsyGirl]

Most of this hip hop is dead bs started when Nas announced his album anyways... if it were dead it died way before Nas realized it... infact it was being cremated when Nas was still singing Oochie Wally Wally.

Have you been on this board very long? Just wondering because this 'hip hop is dead' has been said so many times and so many years before Nas even released God's Son. Anyway I think this is a great idea for a thread, kinda what I've been tryina say in threads that complain about the state of hip hop.

Im not done with hip hop dont get me wrong, i still listen theres some people still doin it, but other then that its over.

Ok Stop. Right there in Bold is what this thread is about.. Mention "some people" who still make that good Hip Hop, its not about bitchin.

It hasn't been bad cus Dilla and The Roots completely did the exact opposite.

True Game Theory is dope and that was released this year.

Dude named Wordsworth got his album maybe 2 years back (I know) called Mirror Music.. Got some dope songs on there. Heres a bit from Right Now:

When we collaborate to my madness their's no method
I don't care if we in the same room or we wrote separate
If I'm first or third fourth or I go second
Unless I'm last the DJ won't play the whole record

And a song called Shoulder. Oh and Trust is real too.

Im not here to tell you what to listen to, but ive been a fan of hip hop forever. I cant think of a time where it was like this. It was never this bad, shits all about money now. Listen all you what pop bottles fuck models, cause thats all your gonna get in the long run. Alright I get it your into undergound, but they'll all sell out sooner or later. And you'll be lookin for the next underground king, but guess what now your 30 years old and you dont care what some dude has to say about how much his diamonds dont bling. Its been fun, but hip hop died this morning...

couldnt agree more...

no matter where or what, its over, just give up...

EDIT: I see my reply aint educational. HIP HOP is dead because hip hop was a movement. Back in the late 80's and early 90's it was a way to be heard. And lets be serious there was a message too. Now there aint no message, but its being heard. On a look back it was a waste of time, because once people starting listening, laffy taffy and chicken noodle soup fuckin blew it....im sorry get over it

couldnt agree more...

Yeh i know the movement is over, and the movement was hip hop it was a culture. The shit thats big now is rap, this shit it provin' anything, i mean you can get a record deal by knowin some dude that knows some dude, and record a WHOLE cd about sellin coke. But you didnt sell coke, and you didnt sell cd's, all you did was make a huge club banger. So what do you got...some white bitches you can give a shit about your broke ass, grindin up on some rich white dude because you bought her a drink, the same day he bought the album.

Heres my argument. Hip Hop started because the blacks wnated to be heard. Yeah it took a while but white people are finally listening. And what do they put out? Some Laffy taffy, or whatever the new club banger is...

I grew up on hip hop. I tried to stick with it i really did, but im gone, you will all follow. It is impossible to stick with it, im sorry for this reality you'll have to deal with. At least hip hop today makes it easy for you to give up....

haha sooo true!

Honestly, 90% of this shit on the radio is giving blacks a bad name...

I grew up on it too, and no I wont be following you. Theres enough underground Hip-hop and old school tracks to keep me forever please dont try and tell other board members "what they will have to deal with" becuase everybody has different taste and it seems the slogan these days is when the going gets tuff, blame hip-hop.

You wanna know a bomb rapper to listen to?

Tech N9ne

I love his persona he's a funny ass guy who hates the music industry and his style of rap is unique which is refreshing these days. He hasn't come out with a CD since 2000, but he is on Nov. 7th, Everready: The Religion will be out, i cannot wait to cop this..

Check out the website, listen to some songs watch the "Einstein" video that he does live, that song is just amazing in concert.

rap never died, it took steroids to the head and became Crooked I.
