Rap is going thru what every genre of music goes through. The record execs figured out they could make alot of money off of it, the demand was high, and soon the industry got watered down and saturated with commerical money making rap...so those are the ones inthe public eye making all the money....

BUT, the great artists are still around. They just arent going to be put on TV and radio, cuz that shit just doesnt sell. SOme artists choose to sell out, other dont.

Just like everyones been sayin tho...Talib Kweli, Common, Lupe, Mos Def, Wu Tang, and countless other underground rappers you aint heard of are out there putting out good stuff.

These chants are slowly becoming the mantra of the retarded.

Hip-hop never died. You just have to dig for it a bit. The culture is very much still alive. Ice Cube said in 1990, "turn off the radio". This applies even more 25 years later.

You guys are just OLD that's all.
Old as Kentucky fried chicken.old as a stage coach. Old as an eight track tape.old as a VCR.


Your just old and lame.

I have to get this off my chest. Stop playing shitty rap at clubs. Soulja boi is shit. The lyrics don't mean anything. Rap and hip hop no longer have substance. It died with Public Enemy and Eazy E.
I can't tell you how annoying it is to be in a club somewhere and hear some retard shout "Crank That Soulja Boi!" or as was the case a few years ago "Play some Eminem!" These chants are slowly becoming the mantra of the retarded.

Lots of good rap/hip-hop out there. Just gotta know where to look.

Also, unlike most folks, I LIKE trap music. Turn on the Migos!

Most people seem to like trap music. That's what's selling and getting played the most.
