Ok so everyone is saying that hip hop is dead in general and others saying that new york hip hop is dead and me being a new yorker i gotta ask something: Why are all of you southerners saying that new york hip hop is dead when in reality you guys aren't helping at all with your unintelligent, mindless music??? EXAMPLES: Soulja Boy "let me supersoak that hooooooooo*" Come on now!! I like a few southern rappers but tell us who is gonna really bring back hip hop and don't say soulja boy lol..
Is hip hop dead? Is New York hip hop dead? Who can bring hip hop back?
I NEVER get sick of hearing these questions..haha
Hip-hop is not dead, the people who say hip-hop is dead are the people who complain about the mainstream but never try to find good music like Kweli and Common
Reply:No, Hip-Hop Is NOT Dead Yet, But There Are A Lot Of Young, Misguided Souls Who Are Slowly But Surely Killing It For The Love Of Money :(
I Asked This Question Before, But Since I've Been Listening To People Like...
KRS-One
Talib Kwali
Rakim
Common
%26amp; Others
... I've Learnt It's Not Dead Yet :)
Much Love xxx

Reply:This is a tough question real Hip Hop is alive but not on your local radio station ...Highly Marketed Commercial Hip Hop is alive. Hip Hop thats played on radio stations "Clear Channel" ( they own 96% percent of all radio stations) control the radio air waves. Also a main factor is the content in the flows FCC doesnt want raps about anti politic, anit religion, or anti goverment on the stations. So if you want that real hip hop
here are some strong Underground MC right now
1.Finale
2.One Be Lo
3. Brother Ali
4. Anything scratch by dj premier
5. Anything made by Pete Rock
6.blackalicious
Reply:Hip Hop is not dead

Reply:Who has the longest criminal record ? I'm not laughing! Unintelligent , Mindless ? No, we are ACTUALITY, Not "reality TV?".
Reply:in the future of hip hop the lines will be clearly drawn between commercialised and underground. Each side will be divided again in to various sub genres and styles. Leaders of the commercialised side will continue to get dirtier, lazier and utimately stupider (ex. any southern rapper in the charts now, and kanye west) While the underground side will continue getting angrier with the actions of the above ground rappers, thus creating more hardcore battle raps, commercial disses and with a general more pissed off vibe. As for the big apple, you be the judge. if Mobb Deep represents the NY than the future for y'all looks bleak. But if perhaps immortal technique, Masta Ace carry the torch then hip hop is far from over...
Reply:hiphop is not dead..... new york hip hop is definitely not dead.
you can still find what you want.. you just have to look harder..
its up to YOU as an individual to "bring hip hop back"... no ONE single person is "hip hops savior" .. it will take the masses to make a change in an industry that is now driven by money..
check my questions too..
HIP HOP STAND UP
...blessings...
Reply:hopefully papoose will bring it back, but from hearing his latest songs i doubt it. lately, the rappers keepin new york alive is jay-z and nas mostly. i don't even consider 50 cent a new york rapper
Reply:Well i dont think hip hop is dead..... yet but trust me.... once AZ comes back with his album, hip hops back baby!
Reply:I wouldn't go as far as to say its dead, but I would say its in a deep coma. I am a southerner and a vast majority of the hip hop that is generated from my side is dumb 'rump shakin' music... The thing really about hip hop music, is no one listens to the good hip hop music, the one with a message, the one that has something to say, something to deliver... Because no one wants to hear about a chaotic world, everyone wants to hear about the 'good things' in life, ballin n flossin. I am guilty of this, but until someone can come out with some real music, and capture the hip hop audience with it and hold them tightly, hip hops gonna stay in her coma, and only utter fantasies about what she once was...

Reply:Popular music is generally a reflection of society, that being said, hip-hop isn't dead, it's morphing with other sounds and rhythms from different influences and cultures. Though for hip-hop to be back it has to offer something innovative and ground-breaking, the same old stuff won't cut it anymore at the grand scale market that it used to; I think that hip-hop has lost popularity because it ceased to be interesting, it's just repetitive now: same themes, same beats *yawn.
For my money, the next big thing is "reggaeton" (or heavily reggaeton infused hip-hop), maybe -as a New Yorker (I assumed you where from your post)- you've already heard of it...
Anyway it's been all the rage for a couple of years in Latin-America and it's just starting to penetrate the U.S. market (e.g. Snoop is featuring some reggaeton artists in his latest tracks). I recommend you download some tracks by Daddy Yankee and Don Omar.
Sure, unless you're fluent in Spanish, you won't get a kick of much of the lyrics, but you can't beat the rhythms, they're blow-your-mind explosive, much much more than hip-hop.
Reggaeton is a micture of latin beats, african beats, native rhythms, reggae and hip-hop. It started in Panama but now Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are the main sources.
Try it! If you hate it, simply delete it and that's that!
Reply:hip hop is not dead and it never will be
Reply:yo stop hating on the south
the south is not saying that new york hihop is dead
dont overgeneralize
and not all southern music is soulja boy
your first statement is wrong right away
everyone is saying hiphop is dead IN GENERAL? if that was true, its only because the "general" majority are stupid and/or uneducated on the truth and plain ignorant
Reply:Nah it's far from dead. Maybe just the wrong people are getting spot light. You can blame myspace for that, with all of these different codes to generate fraudulent numbers. Look out for the person who's highly underrated. Don't look for the songs with "instructions". I'm also mad at that new song...batman something...it's on youtube. The worst music I've herd in my life.
Reply:"Lawbrakaz" can bring it back. Check it out... www.myspace.com/eddiegps for tight beats and featuring Lawbrakaz produced by Eddie G. Also, go to www.myspace.com/wunpro and see what you think. Please spread the word much love thanks!
Reply:How can hip hop be dead if Wu Tang is forever?
Lol I just always wanted to say that.
But I'd say REAL hip hop is dead, all these wankstas bringing out there candy coated wannabe gangsta bullshit, give me a break.
I can't name ONE commercial hip hop song in the last 4 years that hasn't had a club beat to it, bar maybe "one blood" by The game.
Reply:it aint dead, listen to good rappers like the game or eminem.
dont bother with them newcomeres like souljah boy lol
Reply:dude [couple above me] said dont overgeneralize the south music..lol how could we not? when the only reason the south is on the map right now is for that snap crackle bop ish. anyways nobody is going to save hip hop, unless WE as people start to want better music. people are stuck on the HYPE and what the south is puttin out right now is POP music, not hip hop.
listen to some ; NAS, TALIB, COMMON, LUPE, OLD SKOO REASONABLE DOUBT JAY-Z, RAKIM, KRS, BIG PUN.....just to name a few.
Reply:As a southerner, let me correct you, all the rumbles that hip hop is dead are coming from the north. For some reason, northerners think that since they started hip hop that everyone that does hip hop should follow their lead, and they hate artist that don't. (ex. the east vs. west of the 90's and outkast getting booed for taking best new artist) Most northerners also have this problem with mistaking simple for mindless. Where we from, we say thing straight up, and don't feel the need to use complex metaphor in every single line, that being said, some southerners can use complex metaphors just as easily as anyone in the north. (ex. Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and Chamillionare just to name a few) Truth is hip hop ain't dead, it just moved to the south for a while, and to quote Pimp C, Lil' Wyte, and the southern states of america, "Quit hating the south". Its our turn to shine now, so take your back seat and wait til your turn come around again.
Note: The next city ya'll northerners will probably be hatin is Chi-city, they got a healthy underground seen with Bump J and the Goon Squad and Twista and Kanye are reppin' hard, won't be long before Chicago comes to the forefront.
