  • AWESOME!

    

  • do not be silly, how I pitty you rap preservationists and backpackers ya really on som bad shit

  • I don't feel like it has completely died, but i agree a majority of the artists nowadays are pretty garbage (Along with this whole autotune trend)

    but in my opinion I still think Eminem, Lupe Fiasco (Sometimes), and a few other artists are true hip hop.

  • @jesen141 Rapping and emcee-ing are essentially the same thing. Emcee-ing is one of the 4 elements of hip hop. Unfortunately, people nowadays don't emcee. They just sorta monologue about bullshit with a pop beat in the back and then pass it off as hip hop music.

  • i agree i usualy only listin to hip hop now that they got all these meanigless rap like bottomes up trully hip hop died

  • tu-pac biggie,big l arent hip-hop.. dats rap..

    dAASTS LIKE KALLING LIL WAYNE HIP-HOP WHEN HE IS POP MUSIC..

  • All ya bitches out there sayin hip hop havent died we ain't talkin bout wen those REAL good hip hoppers was bac in the day like 2poc n biggie now a days it's like okay but u come from back in the day,u missed everything

    So don't say hip hop didnt die cuz it did

  • THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!

  • THIS DUDE IS AMAZING!!!

  • this go hard

  • Hip hop hasnt died, it just moved to the underground

  • @45pantera word.

  • anybody know the youtube link for this when they did it on def poetry jam

  • THEY DID THEY THING !!! && He Is FINNNNNEEE !!!

  • i love this.

  • fuck ya'll hip hop isnt dead you STUPID FUCKS.. it makes me angry all yall preaching how hip hop is dead and shit, you non lessoned assholes.. listen to rugged man, talib, sha stimuli, june marx, the twin perils, and then the old old cats that STILL DOING THEY'RE SHIT masta ace, the last emperor, edo g, alot of brooklyn cats and ya'll bullshitting how rap aint got meaning?.. these artists are reaching out to you saying stop that bullshit talk and start listening to us. thats facts not arguements

  • @peonbeats AND.. you all talking like the good old days?

    if you ever been true to hip hop you wouldn't even SAY!! stupid shit on youtube like "meaningful rap died"

    all i can say for what im thinking right now is "sha stimuli - the stir" i ain't preaching im just directing you to the real shit you fucks

  • this shit is absolutely incredible, major major props

  • hip hope aint dead, its buried alive....its underground

  • OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH I llok like someone just punched me in the face. That's how yall made my head snap back. DO YA THANG!

  • nice flow :)

  • that was a beautiful work of hip hop art

  • hip hop ain't dead, its just hard to find and it pisses me off when someone says these new cats rapping ain't got talent because they do, you think someone can just wake up one day and produce beats like they do or write lyrics like that (even if they are shallow), if you don't like the god damned music don't listen to it, just don't call them un-talented, if you want real hip hop, make it, show us how you can fix what your moaning about

  • Comment removed

  • Sciryl is sick!! Peep his music though!!

  • man alls nigga talk about champaine or there lambo or their ""swag""" every song i hear is the same shit they soft now hip hop is dead and its a kids and teen thing now and it wont be back because everythings fucked up no these niggas are on some pop shit nobody left thats real fucked up right there bedrock???????? really???????? word this is what its come to????????? like damn

  • I hate it when ppl say hip hop is dead. It is not dead it is overshadowed by rap. All the bullshit artists like soulja boy and waka flocka are not hip hop, they are main stream rap. All the hip hop artists are still making music they just aren't played on the radio and the record labels shun them bc they aren't doing what they tell them. Hip Hop isn't dead, people just don't know how to find it.

  • @flash5567 justin bieber did not "kill" hip-hop, he sings pop. && yur basically saying tht hip hop is an adult profession, that kids cannot be talented enough to make music. times are changing. Hip Hop died when they started selling sex;

  • What does she say about eminem?

  • @PandyMilton em warned us about the impact

  • Everything on the radio is ass compared to 15 yrs ago

  • agreed hip hip is dead all this rap bull is a mess i cant turn on the radio w/o some1 talking bout guns or money whatever happened 2 the stories in hip hop whatever happened 2 the meaning whatever happened 2 respect all music does is degrade women n say the streets is the best thing that ever happened 2 these million dollar dumb asses i fail 2 understand y rap icons claim that gettin shot gave them a name n having lots of women iz a good thang in whos hell does this make sence

  • Everyone! Hip Pop did not die becuase of one person like justin beiber or soulja boy. there were steps how to Hip pop ws killed including the death of MJ, James Brown and things like auto-tune and putting singing and rapping in the same song and letting teens become pop artist also artist not writing there own songs making hip pop sound like crap now.

  • @flash5567 james brown n mj hv nothing to do with hip hop when u think hip hop think biggy smallz..tupac... naz...dr dre ( when he was makin real music) ....napolean..jay z is the only 1 tryna keep it real n he's slackin too

  • @badgyalbirdieakaray idk about MJ but James Brown definitely has something to do with hip hop :)

  • 'This is soo True Big ups to whoever put this piece together...Hip Hop is Dead..."The New Hip-Hop" or as I call it "Rap Crap" being fueled by Young Money is pointless. Its just a couple of punch lines and disses. I never knew when this became a type of art? SMH anyway Hip Hop is dead

  • hip hop aint dead its just being suppressed and exploited by some phonies

    ppl make real hip hop everyday...hip hop is immortal how can it die

  • hip hop hasnt died. just beacuse people who represent the art of hip hop stopped respecting the art and started making music doesnt mean it died. hip hop could never die. the art will live on forever. however, hip hop is being hospitalized and its our generation that put it there.

  • @R3ssa oooh i like the way you said that. thats good

  • @kool2050 lol thanks

  • someone tell me is hip hop the same as rap because rap is still alive hip hop yeah i think it might of died

  • @smoothcriminaldude rap is a form of hip hop

  • i agree, cos now in days, all they sing about is sex, and they wonder why theres so many young kids at 14 are having sex. it makes everything they rap sound like a good thing and no consequences. i miss the old rap -.-

  • HIP HOP in a coma,

    Dr. KRS One amd Rakim are peforming surgery for

    her to recover as we type.

  • nice

  • rewind was cool.

  • This was at Irving wasn't it?

  • Bros mic was smokin, great lyricism yall, the rewind hit the home run then the FF won the world series!!! This poem is true, yes hip hop is personal to me cuz it was with me through thick an thin through my life an now its gone.....

  • Hip hop is personal, to some ppl, it is dead, to me it is very much still alive and i will dig it till i drop. Hip hop for life. Nice poem though.

  • Comment removed

  • That shit was tite he was sexy. old girl did her thang too that shit was dope

  • brian's actually one of the best lyricists i've heard..damn.

  • this is dope, but hip hop is not dead, yall hsould listen to underground.

  • That was inspirational !!!

  • Thata was tight buta as Del and A-plus said "hip hop is alive and well you aint got the mind to tell"

  • bro was tight as ...... i mean holla holla holla holla ... all rap has gone down hill sadly tho...

  • That was good as hell

  • I agree that hip hop has died. I remember back in the day wen hip hop used to have a meaning to it. It used to positive. I remember wen people used to have to work to get to the top. Now all people are talking about now is "let me see dat ass drop" or "I got more money than 50 Cent" Besides the meaningful rap, it all seems pointless to me

  • @naturallydommi010 people are rapping about whatever sells. this is what we buy so this is what they deliver. when this geneneration learns to fall back in love with the art behind the music will we ever truelly get real genuine hip hop back. however, i dont see that happening soon because at the end of the day. u (speaking to the masses not jus u in particular) still gonna buy whoevers album is number 1 on 106 & park.

  • @naturallydommi010 I know for a fact that hip hop ain't dead untill I am

  • @naturallydommi010 seems like you guys havent listened to the underground. Type in rhymesayersentertainment. And you fill find hip-hop.

  • Hip Hop didnt die people......your just looking in the wrong places, if your looking at mainstream, then yea it did, minus a few rappers tryin to hold it down, problem is nobody buys there albums....check the underground scene....this poem in itself is a testiment that it didnt die....do you think these are the only two people out here writing about this??? The industry killed mainstream hiphop....

  • @moeflowzdeep EXACTLY!

  • @moeflowzdeep word. its not dead it's just underground

  • @naturallydommi010 i dont want to get in an rap arguement but if you go back maybe there wasnt as much sex but they definately bragged alot and it wasnt all dat deep

  • @naturallydommi010 Well, I see your point, but I don't agree. There is still a huuuge population of rappers who speak meaningful, well versed things. You just have to look for them. The problem is that Mainstream hip-hop is fucking retarded. Just look beneath the surface.

  • hiphop aint dead...but this was well said..cuz it seems like most emcees and rap cats, are singing for big stacks, then the real truth of the rap...in order to be real hiphop u dont gotta be gutter, but if i'm in need of the truth, then the ground i go under.....it's alive yal need to find it, or create great music, not this ringtone mainstream, wanna label it hiphopraprandb....fuck it cuz it's just not MUSIC now, TAKE IT UNDERGROUND

  • eff that hip hop aint dead . u cud listen to mainstream shit n say that but theres always some1 spittin real ish...dummies

  • hot, hip hop has truly died, nobody talks about the truth and things in the world nowadays because people rap about trash nowadays

  • only real hip hop nowa days is UGHH. mainstream is done for

  • oh I mean Kanye and TI use their voice most of the time! There is only few who use their voice!

  • hip hop died in late 2006 when stupid rappers like t pain and lil wayne! Why dont rappers any more use their own voice!! Kanye does most of the time! He still cool and the last of old classic rappers like Eminem, 50 cent, and Ludacis! I'll give anything to bring real genius rap!

  • For the real check Johnh Doe' DEATH TO HIP HOP.

  • fuck autotone whether it's in pop, hip hop, or country.

    it's like when models kept bein so photoshopped that agents demanded polaroids

    computers tryin to make folks who can't sing be able to do so...

    hopefully T-Pain wil be the end of it

  • back when all hip-hop artists had a message to say and not just the means to say it.

    modern rap has new technology - autotone, better synthesizers, sound-insulated studios, etc.

    But when you take the frills out, and all that remains is a voice, a microphone, and a stage, it's amazing how much more memorable this performance is in comparison to mainstream.

    Amen

  • I loved it when he rewinded and fastforwarded. they did great real meaning

  • Beautiful...this is great i love watching poetry about this

  • THIS IS DOPE

  • Are these the same people from the def poetry one ?

  • Hot!

  • While hip hop is not really dead, I think the hip-hop we here on the radio is just not as good as the hip-hop we used to hear a while ago.

    These kids in the video express what hip-hop was meant to be- a work of art.  Not glamorized by money or record lables- but by what actually goes on in peoples lives.

  • These young sisters and brothers bring tears to my eyes.

  • i love this...yo

    it's soo real like!!!

    <3

  • oh snap.

  • for real. the truth be told. let the ears behold.

  • that dude is a fuckin beast.

  • He Said "guys lyin see hip hop is dyin inside"

  • Amazing. Does anyone know what Brian was saying just before and after his rewind? I can't hear that part clearly, but the few words I did catch were amazing.

  • boy got skill

  • this is great..

    he soundss like a young Fab when erica says

    rewind.

    play diss about 100x a day

    love it.

  • Media says black kids should idolize two dead rappers and the way they died.  The C.I.A. is still at work apparently.

  • That was deep and truthful. Hip Hop is Dead. I so miss old school. It needs to be revived.

  • he is sexii

    dat was hott

  • THIS IS SICK OMG! TOO GOOD TO EVEN SAY

  • GOT DAMN!

  • This is beyond incredible. Quickly added to my favorites. Business thoughts already flowing through my mind... I will contact you directly. One, Makadoutious

  • murdered dat shit

    Str8 mad koo

    str8 mad honesty yo

  • i first saw them on def poetry jam.

    SICK

  • .....DAMN....that's really all i can say. they are VERY VERY VERY....VERY TALENTED....SHIT!

  • Yo Dem Mutha PhucKas Killed It.. Dat Waz Prolly Da Best Shyt..

  • i have to warn you i'm new to hip hop and rap and such(not new to slam however) one this poem is awsome just in the way they wrote it making it sounds like a cd or somethin.

    but i do think that old school hip hop should be revived.

    I also the maistreamers(lil wayne, chris Brown, and most of the others.) have a talent maybe it shouldn't be called hip hop but they have something...

    personal opinion.

  • DOPE!

    all i can say is...

    THAT

    WAS

    DOPE!

  • loved this poem very true and well performed. And 4 all ya'll that wanna argue about lil wayne (which isn't even a good rapper 2 even compare 2 the REAL emcees) being the best and the sickest, something must be seriously wrong with you. He's a good entertainer, not a rapper bc he talks abt the same shit and he's gonna die soon n e damn ways!! Educate yourselves ppl and stop lookin' up 2 rappers who don't even talk abt things that matter.

  • lol..why is he gonna die soon?

  • real talk...thank u for pointin dat out, nuthin relevant iz eva bein talked about ne more...hip hop has become a one trick pony n most of da rappers involved r in it for da money

  • Lil Wayne ain't in no spot to say that he is the best rapper alive, because no that's not true. He a good rapper for though. People are forgettin about the old schoolers. That brang Hip-Hop, Rap -n- R&B alive. If there was no old school, Weezy would'nt be in the game today. People forgettin about Furious Five, RUN DMC, MC-Lyte, MC Hammer, Missy Elliot, Erykah Badu, Nas, Biggie, Tupac, Grand Master Flash, Too Short, Jam Master J, Jay Z, Kanye West -n- Many More. Hip-Hop is dyin' Or is she dead?..

  • THe sad thing is while there are certain artists whose music I don't really like and who I don't listen to, most people don't care. There are artists that I'm sure fit into the same categories that I listen to some of their songs because I like the beat or I like dancing to them. I don't really like the songs where the lyrics get to the point of being offensive or sexist. I think its sad where Hip hop is right now and I wish the artists right now who have alot of influence would take a stand.

  • Lil Wayne sucks aint shit compared to old schoolers.

  • yeah his ghost writer is really dope. he still a suspect in the murder crime of hip hop.

  • listen the music is fine and i mean from a club perspective but the artist are garbage. no talent. no lyrics or anything and if thats what the kids want hey thats all fine and dandy but just because he's dressing the part doesn't make it hip hop.

  • Yo they performed this on def poetry and KILLED it.

  • This is what Hip Hop should be from the core, Maintream(Soulja Boy, Chris Brown, 50 Cent, etc.)infected Hip-Hop. This piece is DOPE AND CLEVER, and actually had hard work put into it. This is Hip-Hop, not rap. That's the difference.

  • Fuck what ya'll say.....They was spittin some REAL shit.

  • Hip-Hop ain't dead...

    It's infected with a disease..

    I agree

  • you suck... soulja boy did... but naw not these catz...

  • They need to come out with a new music genre so they can stop putting all this crap in hip hop. real talk.

  • BUT I LIKE THIS.

  • has anyone noticed how real the south kept it UNTIL they went mainstrem. Im not sayin southern rap is bad, but more artists need to be more creative

  • i loved it..das some real shit

  • Hip-Hop ain't dead...

    It's infected with a disease..

    and its spreading. for one person who takes the mic has all the power and it manipulates the listener, be like the rapper, dress like the rapper, copy the rapper. rappers today like Flo Rida, Young Berg, Young Joc, Lil' Wayne, Rich Boi, do i have to go on?

    Can you look at those names and picture 10 years later people namin any one of them a Hip-Hop legend? I ain't think so.

    Save hip-hop BEFORE IT DIES. Support real music.
