Is hip-hop on its last legs, or adapting to stay alive?

[DUCKman187]

Were ring tone rappers like mims and soulja boy hired to try and assinate hip-hop or do we just have to sit back and watch hip-hop change for better or for worse?:blink:

[mntlplx]

Hip-hop is in a coma... and yes we do have to watch the state of hip-hop turn to ringtones...

thank the majors and free downloading...:evil:

[southsider]

MIMS aint a ringtone rsapper. Do you listen to music of just skim through it? You the reason why Hip hop is dying dyckhead.


By the way, it's changing and it aint Hip hop anymore. It's still urband music, but it's more like freestyle and electronic shyt nowadays.

I see Hip Hop evolving to Drum and Bass eventually...

[Luce Cipher]

nothing is wrong with hip hop. 2007 was one of the best years yet.

people tend to forget that there have always been one-hit wonders and wack rappers in the game. nothing has changed.

where do you think drum and bass comes from?

[Copper Scroll]

These kind of threads are funny 'cause people always get into arguments about whether this rapper or that rapper makes "real" hip hop. I don't like Mims. A skim is all I need to tell that, but I'm not going to sit up here and say it's not "real" or Soulja Boy is not hip hop. I just don't like it. All these threads really amount to is that the threadstarter don't like what's selling the most units right now. Que sera sera.

where do you think drum and bass comes from?

Jungle and

Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the UK breakbeat hardcore and rave scene of the late 1980s, and over the first decade of its existence there were many permutations in its style, incorporating elements from ragga, dancehall, electro, funk, hip hop, house, jazz, heavy metal, reggae, rock, techno and trance.

[Worldfriendswin]

hiphop needs to go back to how it was in 1995 the best year in hiphop history

I honestly think it's pretty much done, I can see another few years of average sludge being released with very few stand out albums below the radar . . . . there's nothing innovative enough anymore.

You know how you can tell when hiphop is dead when you cant quote any more verses from your favorite rapper. When was the last time you heard a rapper say anything tight? There is only handfull of those rappers now a days....

Ring tones aint killing rap wack as musicians are....they aint saying nothing...

you guys remind me of the people who say the world is going to end every year...lol

peoples been saying hip hop is dead since 93'...why do you think Common made I used to love H.E.R?

hip hop is fine. there are tons of artist out there besides the ones you hear on the radio.

if you dont find something you like in the internet age, youre not looking hard enough.

[TuneOut]

I completely agree. The internet makes it very overwhelming to find good artists because so many are now promoting themselves, but you do have to know where to look. And don't forget about live shows!

[151MusicGroup]

In '93 they were sayign that the game is changing but now they are saying that HIP-HOP is dead.

Good artists will always be around but seriously how many artists are you really listening to now adays?

I can only think of a handfull....
