nah, hip hop is not dead

maybe not as popular as it once was, but there is still a lot of quality rap being made

[JohnnySic]

As far being "pop", yes, dead as a rail.

Did anyone ever really like that shit?

Hip-hop is more popular now than it's ever been lol

Hip hop to me is not made for people over the age of 15. lol. Not saying it couldnt be.. but not anything I hear.

I remember the days when dudes like blasian, playtetris, gobb, state property, etc. would ALWAYS make a bunch of threads on new albums, hip hop discussions, etc. We were like an electronic barber shop with no temp fades

OTC used to have a heavy concentration of hip hop discussions

The latest drops barely deserve to be posted in that MOSTLY terrible spam thread.

Makes me kinda sad

I do like some of the newer guys a whole lot like Kevin Gates, SchoolBoy Q, Joey Bada$$ & a couple others but it's MUCH fewer and further between.

I'm a music head so I listen to much more than rap and I gotta say, I listen to a lot less hip hop/rap than I used to because the newer styles that get play just plain suck. Just nonsense.

I still bump the classics ( what I consider classic)

but i can't stand listening to every other rapper brag about their money, their chains and their shoes anymore.

[ROCSteady]

I'm just tired of these dudes who can barely speak and mumble mash their words together creating these stupid catch phrases and their nonsensical bullshit is picked up & regurgitated by listeners in their everyday vernacular.

These bums always sound like their leaned out and have been awake for like 72 hours + on the hooks.

Their fans eat that dumb shit up, fckn retards

today's mainstream rap summed up:

"n*gga I'm rich, n*gga I fcked ur bitch"



I do think today's rap has better beats overall (in general)...however the vocalists are considerably worse than those of the past.

Today's beats + yesterday's rappers would be really great actually

Or you could listen to rap/hip hop that isn't mainstream and realize that the genre is stronger now than ever with young cats and old heads alike. It's just become over-saturated by the people in the industry only for the money or the fame and not the art. Keep listening to the radio to form your opinions though.

That's the truth, sadly.

If only Hip-Hop was as popular as it was between 1991-1996 as it is today ...

I made sure to say "today's mainstream rap" and not rap in general...

I'm just talking about radio rap/popular rap...and not the underground scene

Okay, you said mainstream rap at first then you said "today's rap" so I figured you were just using mainstream rap as your main reference point to today's rap overall. Carry on.
