Hip-Hop. has grown up so has the majority of it's "OG" fanbase.

Now. The music is mostly recycled stuff we heard 1000x before.

I'm out!

Nas lost for stating Hip-Hop is Dead.

As you age everything start to sound the same.

The dance and bop shit is a part of hip-hop.  Get the fuck over yourselves. 

Move on!

You still get guys with creativity bringing it, Lupe Fiasco springs to mind. In general people who be themselves instead of conforming to what has worked in the past tend to be what's fresh about hip hop right now. Asher Roth's album may have been disappointing but dude has created a whole new niche in hip hop.

Party records were a big part of early hip hop, so I don't get why people would complain about them. I like to listen to, for example, 50 Cent bangers when I'm out and getting drunk just as much as I like to listen to Bone Thugs when I'm getting high or Jay-Z when I want to hear some dope wordplay.

^^^^ i think theres a suprising amount of hip hop fans like that. I know quite a few people who really like Lil Wayne yet own albums by Mos Def, Monch, Blu etc Tbh the mainstream is no longer dominated by dope rappers and a lot of the talented rappers seem misguided. Instead of trying to go platinum or sign a million dollar deal they should focus on making quality music that creates its own hype. How can you tour if you don't have an album out? How can you create that connection with fans if they are endlessly waiting for your debut?

Agreed although I'd say liking Lil Wayne is a little too far ;)

Very few rappers want to move away from the formula. I'll say this about Eminem. He very rarely just throws the popular rapper on his album. His guests are usually in-house people. He has 50 Cent or D-12 or someone that is fucking with Aftermath or Shady. He don't get the most obvious person in the world to sing his hooks. He gets a Dina Rae or flips a Dido sample or something. That's the one thing that depresses me when I look at these albums. The music isn't consistent. I look at the back of Jada's new shit and it's more fucking guest features than songs. The album itself is all over the place. Some of it is really dope and some of it is pretty awful. Rappers are so caught up in making the record that radio stations want instead of the one that works for them. For all these Lil Wayne collabos floating around, how many of them are just 16 bars and how many are genuine collaborations?

Here's a question to throw out: When was the last time you heard a collaboration between two artists where you actually felt like it was chemistry in the studio and not just someone phoning in a hot 16? I don't know maybe I'm just fucking weird about this but I look at all these goddamn guest features on people's shit and even if it's two artists I dig, it's never any good.

The last great collaboration I can think of was probably "Hate It or Love It". 50 and Game both own that fucking song.

On the mainstream level there hasn't been a collab as powerful since Hate It or Love It.

Hip-hop started in New York in the 1970s when niggas got sick of trying to come up with original content and started stealing the drum breaks out of dance songs. MCs make fun of the crowd and talk themselves up over the shitty patchwork "music", until two MC's eventually get in a flame war with each other. Crews be called out, niggas be makin dey Mama's cry. Same shit different decade.  If rap artists didn't pull this "war" shit every few months, sales would drop and they wouldn't have any cash to pay those lovely big-assed niggettes.

Yes, I am mad.  Really mad!  Like mad as in angry.  I have anger.   He only saves me for last, he had to fuck you and your family first.
