The sock is right, basically the problem is us, we let this happen because we finance the monster! Not stop it! Stop buying crap record albums and supporting those artists and the machine WILL fall!
I've always thought that music is eternal. Hip Hop can't isn't dead until they delete every classic song off of the internet. Mozart and Beethoven are dead, but their music is eternal. Listen to Nas "The World is Yours". You can't kill that shit!
Its dead and/or dieing at the moment. Its a monotone, non-melodic, non-harmonious, non talented form of music. Sequential drum beats, theres no bass, guitar...theres no talent in it. Its all an image...sell that image. The dumb black thug with pants hangin down your ass...all full of attitude singin about killing people. This music will be flushed down humanities toilet very soon. I think alot of the problem comes from recording companies too. They have done more to hurt blacks image than help.
Rap/HipHop is dying out with a generation that's seeing it for what it is: uneducated, high school drop-out niggers that can't make a difference in the world and instead must whine about how hard their lives were in a form of "entertainment" that shouldn't be called music.
i thought this was going to be another stupid video, pointing the finger at hip hop for every single stupid problem in this country... like "some" media outlets make it out to be... i leave shocked and surprised
hip hop isnt dead,gansta rap is.go check hip hop in europe,canada,latin america.yall being fed with fucktard music.and yall ignorant enough to buy or download that crap.now im Easy-E got bitches galor,u may have alot of bitches but i got much more...
Hip HOp is alive and well OVER SEAS in France, London and Japan. Italy, REALL HIP HOP IS ALIVE AND WELL OVER THERE. THE CULTURE IS STILL ALIVE, KANGOS, PUMAS, BREAKIN, GRAFITTI, FREESTYLIN, REAL RAP! HIP HOP IS DEAD IN AMERICA! MOST EAST COAST LEGENDS FROM THE PAST ARE MAKIN THEIR MONEY OVER THERE CUZ OTHER COUNTRIES JUST RECYCLE POSITIVITY. THEY HATE THIS NEW SHIT! EUROPEANS KNOW HIP HOP MORE THAN AMERICANS! PEACE TO THOSE COUNTRIES. THEY STILL REPPIN LIKE IT WAS STILL THE GOLDEN AGE!
you got that right my nigga, Hip-Hop is more than alive in Europe and Latin America as well(im not talking about Reggaeton..which is crap) real Hip-Hop from Colombia and the rest of countries you mentioned...FRANCE: Slave Farm, La Clica, Daddy Lord...SPAIN: Natch Scratch, Morodo...COLOMBIA: Tres Coronas, Soul Calle...all real Hip-Hop...no blink blink, hoes, money, drugs...just from the ghetto...from the street...consciousness and reality............HIP HOP in America is dead
Hip Hop is a culture and a culture is something you can never kill sure most if not all popular rap promotes these negative stereotypes but thats the only way most artists know how to get their music mainstream in the first place reaching as many listeners as possible but the bottomline is that hip hop is still alive in the people it has influenced and in the classic moments it created for the true fans of this culture GOD BLESS HIP HOP

Rock music is music of meaning and has great lyrics. It takes talent in order to play the guitar or drums or vocals. To come up with the lyrics takes talent..I can't wait till rap be completly dead. Because, me being a black guy,rap is embarrasing.I dont care how positive the message can be in rap music, Fuck 2pac,still it takes little talent to rhyme
You know nothing about Rock so don't say its about someone screaming until you are deaf. That is metal or grunge! There are hundreds of different types of rock! Just like there is of hip hop and rap.
Don't waste your time...Blacks are brainwash not to know their roots in all the music forms within America.Some would know anything about Chuck Berry and littie Richard.
He can listen to Rock if he wants...Blacks created Rock n Roll.Their are still blacks that plays all kinds of Rock.but the forms they play are underground.They don't want to become part of the Mainstream like rap music.
Fuck that, sif hip hop is dead, if you think it is your definately not looking hard enough, groups/MCs/Producers like People Under The Stairs, Blackalicious, Brother Ali, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, J Dilla, Madlib + many more "underground" groups are representing the culture and contributing to ever changing world of Hip Hop. Rap is a verb, not a genre.
Ashonpar do you really think that someone is more Talented because they are selling records. Yes, I think there are many talented rappers from every part of the country and world( The most talented ones you will hardly ever hear or they will be paid off to create Bullshit). The rap that is selling now is mainstream (usually white) America and is basically a MINSREL show. You sound like you are young.
Soulja boy STFU! His music is piece of garbage. None of the Southern rappers can even rap. They just repeat the same shit "I'm hot, I'm hot, blah blah blah." It sounds like Techno music. Wu Tang, Nas, & Tupac are all legends. These clowns from the South with their cars, drinks, are a disgrace to hip hop. Their music should not even be categorized as hip hop, more like Brittany Spears type shit.
that Aint true dun, south got some sick artists its just hard to find them... cunninglynguists, celph titled, b.ill theres alot more i just cant be fucked to put em up

I think New york is hating on other styles that is makin money.I from Bewick and Mack in Detroit, I dont need nobody talking to me about game"From studio Gangstas", I know the game".Just give me a good beat nad Im kool like "Young Jock its going down".Think about it what if Nas" came out with Soulja Boy"souja boy is selling ,Nas aint so Nas is dead.
hell nah actually we're biteing it u go around to the young cats n they all biten styles n its only a few people stayn true for instants chitown biters the fashion skaters all of a sudden a kid n harlem who beat kids up for having a skate board cuz itz white is hitting parked cars in the middle of the street
let me be real with yall...I'll listen to Common,Talib,Mos Def
Then I'll turn aroudn and listen to B.G. , Soulja Slim, Pastor Troy some southern shit..
Funny thing is..I'll hear the same type messages/topics in their songs...but yall would say they suck...i think u people mostly judge off of other shit besides the CONTENT of the music u CLAIM u do
in other words.."if he or his beats sounds too SOUTHERN he already sucks..fuck his content"
umm, pastor troy b.g. and soulja slim are talented, vice-versa is a muthafuckin classic. Its southern shit like soulja BOY and boosie and the rest of them that make the south look bad-they are not talented at all.
WOW! 100% agree. Everything since '98 has been Hip POP for the most part..especially that southern crap. Glad to see Nas is trying to bring it back to it's roots.
If you watched this and all you got out of it is Hip Hop is dead, then you missed the point of the fucking video. Hip hop has BEEN dead. Thats nothing new.
