Fox 40 News reports HIP HOP is dead

[Action!]

I could care less if Cube puts out another album.  I actually think he should stay retired.  His last two releases were at best aiight and that's not saying much.  Once he started acting his rap career was dead.  His image was destroyed and his message  doesn't resonant the same.  I appreciate him doing it for the love the same way I did Will Smith's Lost and Found but the West Coast needs to move on.  Pay your respects but look forward.

As for hip-hop or rap to be precise (because that's what they're really talking about), if it's dead so is any other genre of music.  I would argue that it's still in its infancy.  It's only 20 some odd years old.  Artists like MIA & Ebony Bones are hip-hop.  How can you say it's not creative when you have someone like MIA?  How can you say it's not fresh when you have passionate artists like Immortal Technique to Kanye West?  How can you say it's not lyrical with artists like Crooked-I, Eminem, Royce, Joell Ortiz?  Hell, even lil wayne has show his chops.  How can you say it's not diverse when we have Jay-Z to Asher Roth to Rick Ross?  For every real artists there's a fake one.  How can you say it's not relevant when Nas drops Untitled (nigger)? How can you say it's commercially dead when artist are making record breaking moves - Jay with live nation? 

That is why having a proper media representation is dire and important.  The internet is great but it's singular as in you go for a specific reason.  The radio and the tv are still major sources for the majority of people.  The news reflects us as a nation, as a group of people.

People get so caught up on one aspect that they forget to see the entire image.

Guys in FOX NEWS. Since when have they praised hip hop in any way, shape or form.

First you have to consider the source, Fox news....Anything associated with Black, ghetto, underground is gonna get the death penalty from Fox. Alot of genres of music are struggling including R&B, rock along with hip hop....The only way hip hop can get back into the mainstream is if the Jimmy Iovines  of music would step aside but that is not onna happen cause to much money is involved.. Back when Death Row, Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders, Master P's label (drew a blank) and even Def Jam were selling millions, Suge and Dre, Puff, Master P, Russell and those dudes who had a pulse for the music had more power but now, just look at Aftermath. Unless the project is guaranteed to sell millions, it won't see the light of day.  Hittman may have only gone gold if he would have been able to release his joint after the Chronic 2001 but what he fuck would have been wrong with that?? Dre kind of sold his hip hop soul to Jimmy and Interscope but he is rich so I guess he is ok with it but the music suffers the more corporate bitches like Jimmy take over.
