Fox 40 News reports HIP HOP is dead

[acgrundy]

haha it was on the news tonight.  They were saying how it has ran out of ideas and lacks creativity and fans are not liking it.  They interviewed a radio dj and a couple of fans.  One of the fans said, "Nobody wants to hear another Ice Cube CD"

For the record, the fan who said nobody wants to hear another ice cube cd, is both deaf and gay.

I agree Hip Hop is dead...been dead for years to me, but I will take another Ice Cube cd over 99.9% of any other new hip hop album.

Ice Cube dropped a new freestyle on with C-tunes and DJ Skee maybe a year ago and it's fire


rap isn't dead, the good shits just underground now because the illuminati realizes that they don't want violence in the forefront of the rap game - just lots of partying and hoes

It is dead, but more like on death bed. It will hang on til there's an actual genre to replace it.
When disco, funk died hip hop was there to replace it, for black music, popular music. It'll be around till we get a new genre. Mostly like it'll be a reformed hip hop they call Urban Music, simply.


The Machine knows what it's doing. Call me crazy but the "man", machine, labels actually, purposely wanted hip hop dead. They got tired of dealing with the BS from rappers, negros, wiggers, violence. Rappers has became more of a liability than an assest to labels. They made the stars. They have the power so they decide to break them too. They want to destroy the genre and reform it.
There are many talent in pure  hip hop form but notice the talentless get the deals? notice more south artist get deals than anything? They kept west artist awaay, east artist can't really get major deals like that.
Less lyricst good artist are put on cause they could keep it alive but the cooning and lack of talent would turn people off form the genre, and of course adding the ignorance thus killing  hip hop. This was planned. Trust me. Peep the book coming by Camrom former manager. Big Joe!

All idiots who say hip hop is dead aint and never been hip hop fans they were just on the band wagon. Nas said it just for shock value. Death is something you dont come back from. Sure hip hop is at its worst state ever but it aint dead. Hip Hop has all these motherfuckers running shit who dont live a hip hop lifestyle,they dont come from the same environments that reflect hip hop music plain and simple. The letter boys have cracked down on bootlegging that definitely hurt hip hop,and also the internet hurt hip hop more than it helped. And i cant blame it all on everybody except the artist because there is lack creativity coming from 99% of niggaz thats out today. But those combinations all make up why hip hop is in the state that its in now.

TRUE.


I think what's really dead it's the hip-hop hype/trend, which is a bad thing if you think of making money, but on the other side, only the true will survive. Hip-hop is PEOPLE at first, and a WAY OF LIVING. As long as i'm livin it aint dying. Plus - the internet - made us fuckin spoiled, there's so much shit out here that we don't appreciate good work anymore, or let it slip between our fingers. we getin bored in a minute(that might be the artist fault 2). When was the last time You banged some album for months?

[EFFeX]

Hip Hop is not dead, you just have to avoid the mainstream radio and your straight. There's plenty of artists out there still dropping heat and a lot of promising talent coming up. You just have to know where to look and not be afraid to listen to someone who your not familiar with.

BTW: Who WOULDN'T want another Ice Cube album?
