FUCK! russel simmons... look him up on twitter he says 'Yes im illuminati.... So'.... if you dont know who the illuminati is then look it up. they killed hip-hop.... Russel simmons was helping to kill hip-hop!....
hip hop isnt "black music" sorry, last time i checked non blacks could record tracks and if blacks call them "wannabes" let it be..just dont let them perpetuate any more "you trippin" rhetoric while expressing the validity of other inferiority complexes on behalf of an entire race(ofcourse in their minds when enraged with such "opposition") OH WAIT..that demographic buys into trends before most rappers do,carry along (sarcasm)
Back in the days most of Hip-hop spoke about dope-dealing, drug use, the streets, coming up, and sex with the exceptions of those who rapped about knowledge and empowerment. Just like today, except that they are now allowed to talk about violence... Back then rappers were censored for the most part so they had to talk in code.
@RamReyez3 right record companies and tv period dont give a fuck about the kids its all about what sells now they even got homosexuality on tv now you havent seen nothin yet just wait till they legalize low scale drugs
Americas was effed up (meaning sterotyping) WAY before hiphop dummys. you need to stop worrying about oh black people do this and black people do that.. y dont u go to dem fuckin trailer parks and u see white people doing the same shit. it just all depends on how u were brought up and where u were raised..not ur raise....ignorant ass people
@ETAEI yea but they cover up what white people do yes i agree white people did so much fucked up shit in this country but never foot the bill other words never take the blame for shit its been goin on since the beginning of time so if you blame whites we dont belive it blame blacks you belive it thas just the way it is and always will be
ummmm i dont see what the big deal is if u dont like dont fuckin listen to it then. live your life and stop worryin about what other peolple think of u. how can u say that people in the hiphop business speak for bkac people when they dont. i represent me an myself only THATS ITS
Its tyme 4 Peace, Love & Unity hiphops finished now. Tyme 4 Brothas & Sistas 2 do other things b'sides music & sport, the games in disarray all these modern day rappers & singers talk wot these white execs tell them 2 say & do how tragic & sad. Mission in 2011 & b'yond is 2 shut down the rap game 4 gud, end all hiphop & fake phony corny singing theres 2 many puppets on a string acts that do anything 2 please the white man uncle tom wacko jacko oreos. Just gotta keep on working hard everyday JD:)
I Think Jay-Z, Nas, Common, Kanye West, & Eminem Would Have Been Better Picks To Represent Hip-Hop Because None Of Them Really Had Girls In Bikinis In Their Music Videos & They Are Real Hip-Hop Artists, All I'm Saying Is They Would Have Gave "BET & "The World" A Better Perspective On Hip-Hop.
We have street style public behavior that wants to be seen as vulgar, ignorant,rude, boisterous, confrontational and crazy. We have an epidemic of that in the streets in our young men & girls. You don't have to be killed physically to be exterminated. If we can't knock on the door of intelligence and get an intelligent human responce , you have been exterminated. We should not accept group collective nehavior that profiles us for bad treatment and social rejection
I swear the fans have to stop buying the robbing and killin stuff.and buy the lupe fiaco's , The immortal technique, and those in that category.... Murder rap is catchy ,therefore it's destroying the mind of our youth.I was into at earlier ages but i grew to release why would a grown man boast about killing someone?? it makes no sense
This show would've been so much better if they brought in artists like Black Star, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest or someone like NAS. The hiphop artists that are represented in this show are very narrow. I mean come on..... Nelly? T.I.? Come on we know that these artists don't talk about the conscious side of hip-hop very much. Therefore giving a very narrow representation of hiphop in the mainstream society.
One thing i dislike is the phrase 'you're not black' and 'act black' its just blacks to me stereotyping themselves. Most of the things they call being black is just stereotypes of black people. We're all just fighting an imaginary war over stereotypes that only exist in media. You don't know it til you've seen it done
the 2nd statement was made by ice cube already, rappers are just trying to make money, the follow the mainstream, but they are blamed for putting music with bad message on radio and tv? they just make it, the stations and channels chose to play it, not them, simply to make money, they channels could also play positive hip hop cuz it exists but they dont, so its their fault no the rappers. and plus rappers would see thats popular and more rappers would make positive music too
theres 2 facts that any rapper could have said that would end the debate, first is as tupac already pointed out already but still women whine about how they call them bitches, no, and especially black women, when most women in videos are white, and theyre not calling all women bitches, just the women who wouldnt look at them when they were broke and now they all wanna fuck them, wouldnt you agree that thats a bitch, not a woman?
Its our job to listen to real artists who talk about real things. I love how J. cole stays true to himself and talks about real issues and real life and still has a powerful fan base. Its not hip hops fault. Artists only put out what fans will buy.. think about it
were there a lot of violence in the 90's ? YESS...isnt that when your so called positive rappers like nas, pac, rakim etc. were around ? YESS so CLEARLY rather there is a positive message or not in the music today this world is still going to be FULL of issues like the violence and degrading of women and HIP HOP IS NOT THE BLAME, YOU PEOPLE TAKE EVERYTHING SO SERIOUS.
"Hip Hop" is complete and utter trash. It should be banned and then erased from human existence. And all who refuse to not participate in the "Hip Hop" culture should be exterminated.
Here the thing no one was talking about protecting hiphop until it started making money ... protect it from what? ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY that is why there such a fuss period.
even eminem said in renegade "And I got nothin to do but make you look stupid as parents you fucking do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage and do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo". he's talking about how the parents suck at parenting and marriage but blame the music their kids listen to because apparently rap made the world a horrible place
What these artist need to realize when it comes to their album sales is this. IF PEOPLE LIKE YOUR MUSIC, THEY WILL BUY YOUR ALBUM. IF THEY DON'T LIKE YOUR MUSIC, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BUY YOUR ALBUM! PERIOD!
Apparently the music some of these artists are putting out is not worth people spending their hard earned on. SIMPLE AS THAT.
I think there DEF coulda been better rappers or better yet 'Hip-Hop' artists on the panel then Nelly,Mike Jones, and T.I. HOWEVER, at the end of the day BET selected the artists that they felt at ' that' period of time would 'draw' in the highest number of viewers that care or probably couldn't care less about the 'current state' of Hip-Hop pop-ular music. At the END of the day...BET should have never been made responsible of holding an important discussion of this magnitude.
2:55 but sales don't go down! They go up even though hip hop is so so terrible now!! They just keep pushing this overly prouduced crap down our throats. I want Parliment back!!
@rodthepimp No one is pushing any thing down your throat. Blame the idiots listening to it. If people wanted 'conscious' music, the mainstream would jump on it like they did with Rage Against the Machine. They're about money regardless of an agenda.
- yes, it's also clear that Pres. Obama is not yet governing in a manner that Dr. King could (at this point in Pres. Obama's tenure) support or endorse. Mr. Obma needs to have a comprehensive agenda for poor Americans in generals and poor Blacks and minority specifically. He doesn't seem to think that that is a priority for him unfortunately.
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE BLAME HIP HOP FOR SHIT..HIP HOP AINT GOT SHIT 2 DO WITH HER SON GETTING SHOT, AND AS FAR AS BITCHES AND HOES, ITS NOT WHAT THEY CALL YOU ITS WHAT YOU ANSWER 2....HIP HOP IS EXPRESSION PERIOD
@TheWeaverofNightmere WATS EVEN WORSE IS PEOPLE LIKE OPRAH, WHO LOOKS DOWN ON RAPPERS AND SHIT, THIS PISS ME OFF SO BAD BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT QUESTION MOVIES ,NO ONE EVER QUESTIONS PORN AND ALL THAT OTHER SHIT BUT THEY TARGET PARTICULAR ARTIST NOT BECAUSE THEY ANY DIFFERENT FROM A VIOLENT MOVIE BUT BECAUSE ITS AN INDIVIDUAL. DONT GET ME WRONG,EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR WORDS,I JUST FEEL LIKE THE PEOPLE TRYNA HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE HAVE NO RIGHT....
@MrUtube405 they don't have no right because hip hop artists of that time never said in their lyrics to do any of what they did. it was messages about what they consiques were, how alot of black people are living, and other things and it's not just hip hop people try to use as an excuse for what they kids do. every real hood or gansta movie no gangsta lived in the end that was always the message people need to step up and rise their own kids and stop trying to make excuses.

wasn't that Voletta Wallace (Biggie's mom) if so even though in the part they showed she didn't claim her son was killed by or over rap, wouldn't she be kind of right even if she was, regardless of who actually killed Biggie isn't it likely it had somethin to do with his raps in some way or form
Most of this music is trash, its not hip hop.Back in the day Hip Hop spoke about knowledge, black empowerment. Today these rappers are Uncle Toms; talking about Material things, robbing, killing, degrading black women. Black women showing there asses and talking about how good they are in bed or buy me this. Why because it sales to white america (thats what they think of us black men& women). Notice how the Blacks who do not conform to "their" ways are not exposed in the media.
@79Rialto Black women do more harm to themselves by agreeing to shake their behind in videos.They call themselves bitches.If I had a dollar for everytime I heard a black woman call herself the baddest bitch I would be rich.I'm not disagreeing with you, but the things they rap about are what these women are actually doing.
@79Rialto Please shut up man, hip hop has ALWAYS been what it is today. A medium of expresion that different artist use to server different purposes. Everything that is present today has been there from the start and everything from the start is still here its just a matter of who you are listening to.
@XavierRuffin i kinda agree hip hop in the 70s and 80s was to let people know what was going on around them yes we had violence back then it wasnt as harsh as it is now and they rap about it so what we got today nothing but more violence more money sex then we did back then so thats what they rap about and all you people not talkin to you xavier out there talkin bout you gotta keep it real and thats what they are doin
@79 yea i can see wht youre saying but its also white people who hate this music too and black people are just taking tha bait as well by being told what they want (jewelry cars etc.) but at the same time i guess wanting that shit is an extreme expression of saying ''i cant be held back anymore or go without ill have what the white man has too'' so its like turning your back on whitey after he signed your check
hip hop is dead now cuz when hip hop was at its peak we had 2pac, dr dre. ice cube, eazy e, d.o.c., wu tang, bone thugs, snoop, biggie, bigl l, big pun, nas, and jay-z all coming up or in their prime. now, every single one of these rappers are dead, gonna retire very soon, or has fallen off
Hip Hop is dead...there are still people suffering on the streets of America and the only way they could express themselves has been taken away. Now its about a world of criminal activity were their women have replaced the 'slave'. The Dehumanization 'of the black person' has now become the recipe of American culture. If we do nothing the black generation is going to destroy itself.
Gotta save the Ebony Seeds, feeling great b'cause its time 2 save our Black Youth. Mission now is 2 shut down the rap game & bring Back Tha Black Familys, hiphops a absolute mess time 2 get rid of the garbage & trash. The Black Youth are the future, gotta save the Precious Ebony Seeds. Thanx Sistas 4 Carrying Us & I Really Do Mean That, personally gotta take a good luck at myself & most definetly help others. Sistas its gonna get so much better, im certain of that. Hiphops over now, rip 2 rap.
@LovePoet213 I think you guys really need to stop this Madonna/Whore bullshit. Either a woman's sexy and a whore or she's totally prude, covered up and then she's a Goddess. Then the man must bow down to her and not treat her as equal, but as superior. Come on. Most women don't want a man who acts like that, they want a man who's a real man and not a pushover. Which is why hip-hop dudes are alpha status to so many of them
You cant create a monster or have a hand in creating one...and then complain when it starts knocking over your houses. Thats what hip hop is AMERICA's creation, now and forever, embrace it and fix the problems, or get crushed!
@jermzhi good ass point. everything in hiphop was made in america. from the harsh lives these ppl came from that gave them this imagery to even put on a track --- to---rich ass topdog rec execs PAYING and molding these guys
its no so much hip hop as it is the coverage of it they could cover talib kweli but then again they don't they cover souja boy and waka flocka.. its all the image thats fucked up not hip hop itself how can bet. have this debate and they are the main perpetrators? hypocrisy much - my 2 cents

You get what you pay for, if you're gonna listen to the radio & not purchase your own music, then be ready to accept the bullcrap mainstream hip hop. If you want good music, look around for different artists mainstream & underground & buy their music, give your money to the real artists. Look up AZ, Cormega, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, Canibus, Diabolic, Apathy, RA The Rugged Man, Papoose, Cassidy, Jadakiss, KRS-One, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane & artists of this nature.
would u ppl please stop saying hip hop is not dead and telling me bout under ground dont nobody listens to them unknown artist HIP HOP IS DEAD THE SOUTH KILLED HIP HOP omg!!! man imagine how all the females that was on this show back in 07 saying men!! degreating women in if was made now in 2011 THEY WOULD BE ATTACKING NICKI MINAJ SHE THE 1 GOT GIRLS CALLING THEMSELVES BAD BITCHES AND ALL THIS SEXUAL SHIT A FEMALE!! NOT A MALE
@TheEaglesfanindc I disagree, I just mentioned a bunch of artists in my above post that shows that hip hop is alive & beautiful. Maybe it's dead for you because you only listen to the radio but if you were a true fan anyway, you would go search for real shit, that raw shit. You get what you pay for & the radio is free. I feel sorry for you, keep listening to your Lil Wayne's, Drake's & Waka Flaka Flame's & I'll listen to my ipod full of real music that I purchased.
@TheEaglesfanindc And that shows that your not a true hip hop fan. Real fans love hip hop so much that they search for great artists & for you to think that hip hop is dead shows your knowledge of the rap game.
@TheEaglesfanindc You don't even listen to old school hip hop, you're not even a hip hop fan. If you were a hip hop fan, you would venture out & see that there is good stuff out there but mostly underground. But you aren't a real hip hop fan, that's why you don't listen to new stuff. You can't decide for yourself if it's good or bad. You say hip hop is dying only because everyone else is saying it, but you don't listen to any mainstream or underground music, so you wouldn't know.
@TheEaglesfanindc It's funny that you named off Eazy-E, NWA, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Rakim & Biggie, way to be original & name people off other people's lists. My grandma knows who all of them are. What a joke.
HIP-HOP is dead people!! Ever since 2pac and biggie and old school Og's died hip-hop crashed! this new school is destroying hip-hop, it went to pop shit and commercial shit! 1 WORD! ILLUMINATI ! Respect to old school, and fuck jay-z, fuck lil wayne, fuck the game, fuck 50 cent, fuck soulja boy, fuck chris brown, fuck all motherfukers with them!! Peace
Gonna run 4 Afro American Presidency at seize ans, inspired 2 take over the entire world. Had 2 shut down loads of artists now on that road 4 Peace, Unity & Love 4eva.

Mainstream hip hop is lacking, no doubt about that. There seems to be only a hand full of talented young mainstream artists: Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco (most definitely). I know there's more, but those two are my favorite =). I'll be glad when the Wacka Flackas, the Gucci Manes are underground and the Lupe Fiasco type MCs are more mainstream. You don't have to be political, but you don't have to rap about a** and cash all the time.
@KollegeGirl13 wiz not so anymore, his early mixtapes were sick now he just talks bout gettin high...look for tde movement on the west coast, especially kendrick lamar...
It's Rap that's doing damage to our neighborhoods, just by words. NOT HIP HOP. It's Four Art Forms that's not doing damage except for one. And that's Rap.
And just to add for those that think hip hop is dead because of these whack MCs really have no clue about the hip hop scene, there are many sick MCs keepin the scene alive for the real heads. I'm not trying to be "underground master" but there are a lot of MC still repping the scene and im just glad i've taking my hip hop love underground is all im sayin..
I think urnothiphop's post was ignorant trying to prove the more underground MCs you listen to = hip hop which it BS and for him to say Pac and Biggie weren't hip hop thats like sayin big pun and big L weren't hip hop (since L had a joint with pac) I agree that that the miid 90s was the hay day for hip hop and still Many sick MCs out there who prefer non pop like r.a rugged man and mc juice etc.. this video clip doesn' rep real hip hop tho in my sole opinion. most mcs dont spit money,ho shit
@LoversFashion - KEM? We're talking about Hip Hop. KEM is in a different Genre
of Black Music....Half the posters on this thread don't even listen to KEM-Probably don't even know who he is, but some rap producer might use a Sample of his music.
Hip Hop was always (hypocritically) about chivalry... & at 10 years old I've always felt that hip hop was a joke.. Autotune my ass! All those mainstream rappers remind me of house niggas.. CALL ME IGNORANT I DON'T CARE I'm fed up with this topic because it unfolds the same old shit :Hoes & Money.. MISOGNY must die!.. That's why there's only one Female rapper in the game & her album's only gonna go skyrocket when coming to marketing. I'm fed up!
i think what judges people's choice in trends is movies. i personally feel as a 16 year old high school student that when a certain block buster movie comes out i'd tend to sway upon what that movie was about. for instance back in 2005 when the longest yard came out, i became really into football. recently when brooklyn's finest came out i suddenly find myself very into east coast rap for whatever reason.
After watching all 10 segments, I did'nt hear the term "personal accountability" pop up too often. What I did hear is a lot of blaming & criticizing, though on certain subjects, valid points were made. What I don't understand is, these outside entities who don't appreciate, nor understand the culture feel like they're qualified to lecture us, particuarly when something negative happens. They act like they have the remedy for Hip-Hop's ills. When actually, the remedy is within the culture itself.
Living in Washington state I've noticed that the kids that are into popular hip hop music (not the underground hip hop) are little wanna be punks. They think they are tough and hard and it's because that's what most popular rap music promotes. It doesn't promote good things at all.
i used to say record companies are the blame which they are but its also people that buy the shits. it was cool when nwa did their shit and shit but now its a new time and rappers that talk about bling 24/7 should be shot!! not 2pac even tho 2pac was loosing his mind on the last dayz.
@treez878 lol for real seems like hip hop was buried alive.. i just cant stand how ignorant people sound on the radio thats why i cant listen, so much good music to play yet they still play the same shitt songs all day long
@JahmBProducts ..BET didn't kill hip hop.. we as individuals did.. truth be told in the beginning they played all the 'real head' type ish.. the Wu, mos defs, and real emcees and such.. but those cats weren't selling.. wasn't paying the bills.. so they turned to hip-pop and 106 and park was born
I think that they have to rethink this whole hip hop shit, because they all are running too fast after money, they keep behaving very badly and lead the next generation to freaking whole. most of their lyrics don't make sense at all, it likes they can't sit down and write a good song, including the heavy metal folks,too.
Mainstream rap, Underground, Real hip-hop, Fake hip-hop, Good hip-hop, Bad hip-hop. It all comes down to what Warren G...I believe said "If what a rapper says has more effect on your child then you do that's BAD PARENTING". Don't blame media or society because people failed to raise their kids right. I love how people blame music for stupid kids. WDF?
I like when they talk about when Hip-Hop peaked, they put 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., and when they talk about artists and producers not having inspiration and that "dirt sells", they put a video clip of Lil' Wayne. Awesome
my thing is if EVERYONE believes hip hop is dead and artist now are trash why dont people support underground artist because there are tons of great underground rappers but no support major wise type up S.deniro here on youtube he was good to me
Look you are right when saying that hip hop today is not good, but listen I'm Portuguese and I make good beats and my lyrics are good too, here in Portugal we do good hip hop, if you meet someone who wants to make him a beat I do not charge anything.
@MrSanatra But see mainstream Hip-Hop used to be on point with social issues and positivity. That's all dead now, it's about sex, drugs, and money now. We shouldn't have to search through the underground to find good music, it should be presented to us in mainstream.
@birdhall31 true but if you ever want to hear that hip hop with a message or political veiws you have to support underground artist so they can be your voice look at lupe or common,and until we as a audience do that all were gonna hear is how much money a rapper gets and how many hoes he has
@MrSanatra Exactly, Everyone is so stuck on the "hip-hop is dead" wave just running their mouths. Going to YouTube looking at Wayne videos just to say how much they hate them but not listening to undergrond artist. It amazes me. It really does.
@apestajimmy At least someone is smart (: LOL, I'm glad you said it. Just like making "Fake" hip-hop is popular saying it's dead is popular, So true. Half of these people don't even know what hip-hop is. They see "Pac" and "Big" & say Hip-Hop because it's popular. I love Pac and Big just like everyone else but they were NO gods.
@PhreShPimpCeSS exactly i agree and i also love big and pac too they were great but i agree they weren't gods. But nowadays people label you a hater if you say that lol
Look, if you don't like it then don't watch it. Beer companies sell tons of booze per year. Alcohol fucks people up far worse than hip-hop but you don't hear people complaining about booze. Why? You choose to drink booze just like you choose to watch hip hop videos. No one forced you so stop complaining. Personally, I think that society, especially white society, attacks hip hop because it is a perfect target. Attacking hip hop makes you feel better about yourself and your pedestal.
Hip hop died when black folks relinquished control of the art forum. As soon as it started to become all about the money and who has the highest record sales, the message in the music was murdered. When you look at who buys the hip-hop music, it is white kids. White kids are the greatest consumers of the art forum that is called hip-hop. But, it will always be true, if you want to make a lot of money, you better get ready to pander to the white culture.
The 'BS' will NEVER stop until somebody with power actually MAKES people (that are not regular listeners) understand the HIP HOP IS NOT RAP! Rap and Hip Hop have separated a long time ago. Lil' Wayne is a GREAT 'rapper'. Kanye West is a GREAT 'Hip Hop' artist. Its all about the message. Lets take this one step at a time and SEPARATE the two forms first. -Brotha Peace
hip hop will survive because when you see g unit and d block on the same stage you know something is changed this new wave kids are the same as old school to gangsta rap who knows what will be next but hip hop WILL SURVIVE
Hip hop is Always on Some Mainstream B.S. Hey if it's dead go listen Underground like MF doom Little Brother Jurassic 5 Dilated Peoples Strong Arm Steady and Planet Asia That's Hip hop

One thing i dislike is the phrase 'you're not black' and 'act black' its just blacks to me stereotyping themselves. Most of the things they call being black is just stereotypes of black people. We're all just fighting an imaginary war over stereotypes that only exist in media. You don't know it til you've seen it done

the 2nd statement was made by ice cube already, rappers are just trying to make money, the follow the mainstream, but they are blamed for putting music with bad message on radio and tv? they just make it, the stations and channels chose to play it, not them, simply to make money, they channels could also play positive hip hop cuz it exists but they dont, so its their fault no the rappers. and plus rappers would see thats popular and more rappers would make positive music too

theres 2 facts that any rapper could have said that would end the debate, first is as tupac already pointed out already but still women whine about how they call them bitches, no, and especially black women, when most women in videos are white, and theyre not calling all women bitches, just the women who wouldnt look at them when they were broke and now they all wanna fuck them, wouldnt you agree that thats a bitch, not a woman?

I think there DEF coulda been better rappers or better yet 'Hip-Hop' artists on the panel then Nelly,Mike Jones, and T.I. HOWEVER, at the end of the day BET selected the artists that they felt at ' that' period of time would 'draw' in the highest number of viewers that care or probably couldn't care less about the 'current state' of Hip-Hop pop-ular music. At the END of the day...BET should have never been made responsible of holding an important discussion of this magnitude.

Most of this music is trash, its not hip hop.Back in the day Hip Hop spoke about knowledge, black empowerment. Today these rappers are Uncle Toms; talking about Material things, robbing, killing, degrading black women. Black women showing there asses and talking about how good they are in bed or buy me this. Why because it sales to white america (thats what they think of us black men& women). Notice how the Blacks who do not conform to "their" ways are not exposed in the media.

@79 yea i can see wht youre saying but its also white people who hate this music too and black people are just taking tha bait as well by being told what they want (jewelry cars etc.) but at the same time i guess wanting that shit is an extreme expression of saying ''i cant be held back anymore or go without ill have what the white man has too'' so its like turning your back on whitey after he signed your check

What I don't understand is, these outside entities who don't appreciate, nor understand the culture feel like they're qualified to lecture us, particuarly when something negative happens. They act like they have the remedy for Hip-Hop's ills. When actually, the remedy is within the culture itself.

Look, if you don't like it then don't watch it. Beer companies sell tons of booze per year. Alcohol fucks people up far worse than hip-hop but you don't hear people complaining about booze. Why? You choose to drink booze just like you choose to watch hip hop videos. No one forced you so stop complaining. Personally, I think that society, especially white society, attacks hip hop because it is a perfect target. Attacking hip hop makes you feel better about yourself and your pedestal.

Hip hop died when black folks relinquished control of the art forum. As soon as it started to become all about the money and who has the highest record sales, the message in the music was murdered. When you look at who buys the hip-hop music, it is white kids. White kids are the greatest consumers of the art forum that is called hip-hop. But, it will always be true, if you want to make a lot of money, you better get ready to pander to the white culture.

@in2mobile, you are right, at the end of it all it's the bottom line that matters the most.

The 'BS' will NEVER stop until somebody with power actually MAKES people (that are not regular listeners) understand the HIP HOP IS NOT RAP! Rap and Hip Hop have separated a long time ago. Lil' Wayne is a GREAT 'rapper'. Kanye West is a GREAT 'Hip Hop' artist. Its all about the message. Lets take this one step at a time and SEPARATE the two forms first. -Brotha Peace

hip hop will survive because when you see g unit and d block on the same stage you know something is changed this new wave kids are the same as old school to gangsta rap who knows what will be next but hip hop WILL SURVIVE

Dirty women do exist, but if you associate with dirty women, then that makes you dirty too. In other words, you're a Dirty Man.
Don't ask me why I used the word "dirty." lol
