This is the best explanation I’ve read in a while. My question is will hip hop ever return to it’s roots?

You know where I stand on this subject…When the best artist don’t sell and Lil Wayne is actually able to say he is the best rapper alive and have record sales to back it up, and is actually getting that shit off…that is sad. I mean even the artist that were negative when we were younger actually had talent. I don’t blame NWA…I blame Master P and No Limit…he was the first to make all these drug dealers want to be rappers. I don’t think hip hop is dead…it’s just in remission…as EPMD put RAP is outta control.

I love this post. I maybe be young but my brother taught me early what is good and real. I have notice my cd collect basically becomes distant after 1998. I have become a avid byer of old school R&B now because I have given up on rap.

Damn, E!!! Good shit!! What’s ironic is I was sitting here listening to Hip Hop is Dead when I hit up ya spot. How’s that for ESP. I think we on the same wavelength bro, even though you are like eleventy million years older than me. lol

One of them swisherhouse cats said, Fuck college!/ Stret knowledge helped me get my cake early. Does that count? It was garbage, but ti did have that reference. haha

I think I’ll be done wirth this stuff in feive, ten years tops. I hope not. But as it is now, I only listen to five or six contemporary hip hop artists. Lupe/Kanye/Common/Little bother/Nas/Jay. Maybe a few others, but that’s about ti.

Time to start picking up jazz, methinks

Great post, Homie, but I still subscribe to the fact that Hip Hop isn’t dead. Especially as long as there are those who rep it to the fullest. Your kwelis, your Mos Defs, your KRS Ones, your Dooms, your Commons, your PEs, your De Las, yourself, etc. As long as one stands up, the art is still there.

Now Rap as it is now, on the other hand, is dead and stinkin’! Outside of that.

Remember when De La felt they had to dumb down their style because people were asking, “What are they saying”? They STILL ripped it an people still didn’t get it. That’s when I started weeping for the masses.

Or how about when everybody rhymin’ about killin’, but nobody went to jail. Ok, Slick Rick, but he didn’t talk about it.

Like Public Enemy comes out and if you don’t sound like Chuck D and talk about uplifting Blacks and shutting down corporations you dont sale?
- I’ve always thought this was a shame. PE is still on of my fav groups.

Wheeen we rock the house, there is no doubt(is no doubt)….

preach on E…i feel you on the “Hip Hop music is dead because our youth are embracing ignorance and the older people making music are enforcing it”
music today is without substance…it’s so sad. the young one’s will never get the chance to really fall in love with hip-hop like i did when i was younger. sucks for them.

You aint never lied, e.

Back then everyone was the same age…so the music made more sense because they were either talking about stuff that we could relate to, or was about to be able to relate to. That is the God honest truth.

Now, all we are being bombarded with is…bull ish on top of bull ish. No balance. No nothing. Just a flood of str8 garbage.

Some songs are decent, but nowhere near the Golden Age of the music.

I also agree, we, the consumer, can stop it.

Lolol, j/k. I think that’s probably the best argument that I’ve heard for Hip Hop being dead.
