I hate you mutherfuckas that keep telling other people what is and isn't hip-hop. Go suck a dick an die.
Conscious hip hop can be made by any rapper. I personally feel that people like Wayne not addressing issues true to the hometown (like how many times has Wayne properly covered Katrina affecting New Orleans?) is bad for hip hop though. I don't think there's a problem with artists making club songs but to have albums/songs consistently about money/girls/how good you are = a lack of originality.One of the things that is making hip hop BORING to me is that there's no competition. How can people like Wayne go around calling themselves the GOAT yet nobody challenge him. Would Wayne really put out Rebirth if Jay Z had just dropped a Takeover towards him? Rick Ross released an album that didn't overly bend towards the mainstream cause he was under pressure from beef with 50. Look at the tracks produced from when Jay and Nas were beefing and then compare the trakcs they've made together/ the music they've made since.I'm not saying something where rappers are taking it to the streets but competition forces people to step up in terms of music
Y'all easies the dumbest mutherfuckas I've read talking about hip-hop is dead because of lil wayne.
Real pioneers in hip hop made schoolbook nursery rhymes for people to dance to at night clubs. There weren;t any Immortal Technique or Dead Prez acts at the the beginning of hip hop. FACT. People who say hip hop is dead are full of shit. Hip hop is going back to it's roots more and more every day, deal with it nerds.
Stop it Lyin' Brian, you don't listen to any southern rap you have no idea what they are saying, nor could you understand an insightful line even if you heard it loud and clear because you need it to be spelled out in language you can understand, which automatically disqualifies most black people.

UGK or Goodie Mob for instance, detail life so incredibly and relate to the average man that if you feel what they are saying, they are most definitely "conscious" of real life in their rhymes.

Hip hop started in the seventies. And it was not amazingly lyrical or socially conscious.
