Hip hop is going to die in a few years just like disco did in the early 80s. Well it won't die, but I think it's going to be supplanted by electronic dance music, electropop, and and even rock in the 2010s, and go down the same path that rock did in the 90s, and ghetto/urban fashion is going to go down the toilet. Can't wait for the 2010s! =D

"Ghetto" fashion has been going down for a couple years. Look at how the new rappers dress, they all wear skinny jeans and plad. You really think all the current fans of rap are gonna switch to electropop? |

hip hop (the culture) will probably never die. And i can't see rap music dying either. There's still thousands of great rappers out there who do what they're supposed to do rather than make songs about bling and whores with guns and coke. Best way to think of it is modern day poets and as long as there is one kid listening to the rappers who are actually talented then hip hop will live on. "This is Hip Hop, a sick mans medicine it's blood, sweat, tears and love and adrenaline... and it just gives me that feeling!"

What's not wrong with it? It's pointless and meaningless. Rap is an artform the goal was to break the mould not fit around the same crap just to make yourself millions. Gangster rap can be entertaining the same way vin diesel movies are entertaining but they're runining rap. Everyone thinks it's about black gangsters, it was never about that. Intelligent lyricists are naming themselves after drug dealers just so they can make more money. It's disgusting.
Don't get me wrong there is gangster rappers that i liked but only if they are talented as lyricists (eg big pun, royce 5'9 ect). But even when they are talented as lyricists they are wasting their talent. Rap (like all music) is a way to express yourself. When they start talking about guns and coke they're talking about stuff they've seen in movies they're acting tough throwing up a facade to keep the idiots buying their music. Rap is there to express thoughts, feelings and opinions. Not to brag about your chrome rims and how awesome a drug dealer you are. If they're so great at being gangsters they wouldn't need to rap for a career. They're all fake and they are pissing all over the hip hop culture. You want to know how to tell if someone is a good rapper? read their lyrics. If they mean something written down then great. If they mean nothing written down then i don't give a **** how catchy the song is, they have failed as a rapper. "You're only making them dance, you're not moving them."

There is no concrete "THIS IS WHAT RAP IS ABOUT" standard, that's bullshit. If you can only rap about things that you have truly experienced and been a part of, then the genre has become limited and therefore sucks. You're stuck on "people rap gangsta rap to make money," which is totally irrelevant. Gangsta rap isn't ruining rap. It's the lack of creativity by rappers. There's no topic that should be excluded from music. Especially rap. |
