I'm 25, I really hate the way hip hop was forced upon my generation. From the time I was 18, I just hated it, and being forced into it made me hate it even more. I was never one to watch MTV because it was nothing but hip hop. Fortunately, here in South Texas I was able to get Mexican music channels and stay away from listening to that dreadful music. The clubs were filled with hip hop, so I had to cross the border to be able to dance to another beat. Mexico and sometimes gay clubs seemed to be the only way to stay away from that music. I only listened very few radio stations on my car over the last 7 years; the rock station, the pop station, the 80's rock station, and Mexican radio stations. Everything else played hip hop. I'm starting not to listen to hip hop everywhere.
Is it possible? Is that stupid trend finally over?
Is hip hop finally dying out?
I see this question being asked all over the web by rock fans, **** scared of loosing their place at the top of the tree.
read this article and see if you can spot the parallel with disco in the 70s.
"Though disco music had enjoyed several years of popularity, an anti-disco sentiment manifested in America. This sentiment proliferated at the time because of over-saturation and the big business mainstreaming of Disco. Worried about declining profits, rock radio stations and record producers encouraged this trend. According to Gloria Gaynor, among others, the music industry supported the destruction of disco because rock music producers were losing money.[3] Many hard rock fans expressed strong disapproval of disco throughout the height of its popularity. Among these fans, the slogan "Disco Sucks" was common by the late-1970s."
"To "...fans of rock music", disco was a "direct and intentional challenge to rock’s position." Rock fans believed that "...disco represented all that was synthetic, aristocratic,...fake" and elitist, "...while populist rock stood for all that was earthy and real." Whereas "...[r]ock had been an ongoing celebration of uncontested straight male sexual dominance; disco bypassed hetero men in favor of black women divas, gay male dancers, and virtually any other alternative."[7] White American male hard rock fans who spoke out against the music were sometimes accused of prejudice for objecting to disco's connection to minorities (blacks) and the gay subculture."

I was watching Tupac reserection and he said "for as long as i live and even when i do see death, hip hop will still live. I didnt create it but i did enforce it and hip hop will never die". I will beleive in that untill i die so as i said in the beginning, HIP HOP IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE DEAD!!

Israel women trafficking soars
Between 3,000 and 5,000 women have been smuggled into Israel in the past four years to work as prostitutes, according to a parliamentary inquiry.
The report described how the women are sold at public auctions for as much as $10,000 and forced to work up to 18 hours a day.
On average the women receive only three percent of the money they earn from prostitution, the report said.
Most of the women are from the former Soviet Union.
Many are raped and beaten as they are smuggled into Israel over the Egyptian border, the inquiry found.
Attitudes
Zehava Galon, of the opposition Yahad Party, presented the report to the speaker of the Knesset on Wednesday.
"We began this inquiry to investigate the extent of this phenomenon and raise political awareness of their plight and the brutal nature of the trafficking of women in this time of globalisation," said Ms Galon.
She said the biggest challenge in addressing the plight of women in the sex trade was changing the attitudes of the Israeli public and police.
The inquiry also criticised judges for passing light sentences, sometimes only community service, for men running prostitution rings.
The report called for minimum jail terms of 16 years for those convicted. London-based rights group Amnesty International and the US State Department have also reported an alarming increase in prostitution rings in Israel.
he should have apologized for the
prostitution of god's chosen people
he increased when he publically said,
"mr gorbachev, tear down that wall,"
and secretly cut deals to traffic 3000 - 5000
women/year into israel.
girls, feminists and all women
should be offended when the rappers
bragging about drugging, abusing, pimping
and running trains on them.
god's chosen people choose to
disobey god and profit off it, too.
israel is one big red
light district.
fear of fear is ridiculous.
fear of nothing else, but fear,
is irrational.
for god's will to be accomplished,
in a good way, you must all wish
good
fear is manifest in chemical
neurophysiological reactions
to potentially dangerous stimuli.
discomfort and instinctive
reactions to flea the presence
of growling pitbulls screaming for
vengence and foaming at the mouth
and blood dripping from their teeth, is
a healthy
fear.
irrational fears are even justified
by the presence of the unknown.
it is known and unacknowledged by
the lying thieves, that even the least
bit of reverence for fear itself is a sin
of ignorance, perhaps, but a sin, no less.
that's how theft is primarily facilitated.
poverty, anguish, rejection, eternal
torment are real things to fear.
if you face your fears and
live to tell it, there will still
be real things to fear.
concious contact with the highest power
will then soon manifest.
those who oppose true enlightenment
be blessed with eternal tor,`,`,ent,
no`,`,`.
celebrity survivor - nancy grace and oj simpson will be the

one event could be to give nancy grace a phvcking
camaera to follow oj around with at a
safe disstance, screeching, "why won't you go away!!!
the brown family can play, too. whenever oj gets
kicked out of a fancy restaurant owned and operated
by a tony soprano like tough goodfella guy named jeff ruby sucking on a big fat cigar probably wishing it was li'l bow wow's beef injection, the browns can follow him around
picking up any sign of change and bling he might inadvertently drop in the sand with metal detectors.
same team whenever they get around
to doing a celebrity conspirator survivor.
i bet mark fuhrman killed nicole and
phvvcking framed oj.

Reply:Lets hope so, I think the degradation of women and glorification of murder and hate has gone far enough.
Reply:I dont think so. My whole school is in to hip hop. But i really like hip hop
Reply:Pray to God it does!!!
Reply:I used to be a big hip hop fan but not anymore. It has become way too materlistic and the crap they rap about now is just plain garbage. I hate the way women are disrespected and I hate the way they glorify negative sterotypes and drop the n bomb like it is nothing.
I haven't listened to hip hop in about 3 years now and I have no intention of ever getting back into it. Hip hop has lost one of their greatest fans for life.
Reply:Rap aint a trend, and if you hate it so much why post where people that like it are gunna see it? The only thing is most rap today does suck, I generally dont like rap now. OLD SKOOL ALL THE WAY!!!
Reply:I can't stand hip hop either. I'm 45 and have always been a rock fan.Country music is ok but it seems all the artist sound the same.Rock %26amp; Roll is the only music where bands have their own sound.Hip hop never made much sense to me and god help us if rap doesn't fad completely out.Gay club's,well are not the place to be but I'll take the old disco music back any day over HH or rap.
We have a local Rock station that not to long ago appologized to it's listeners for not sticking to classic rock and playing anything any group called rock.Thank God they woke up.(WSTZ-Z106)Hip hop and rap can die out but "LONG LIVE ROCK".
If Hip Hop and Rap die then maybe I can get some peace and quite around the house instead of some idiot boom-booming a mile up the road.
To aviod feedback: To each his own my brother.
Reply:yea yeah yeah your just a hater just like the rest of em
Reply:quite possibly. many of my friends have converted to rock but there are still quite a few who only listen to hip hop. it is still in the clubs and if you want to be able to dance in the clubs then you need to be up to date with hip hop music so many find it necessary to listen to hip hop at least some of the time. i would love for the rock scene to take over :)
Reply:So you gay you go to gay clubs whats wrong with you and what the hell is rock and roll and mexican music but a trend for people that like that and hip hop is for clubs and stuff whats wrong with you aint nothin get forced on you and you that scared of music you moved you seem like a p.ussy to me
Reply:if you dont like it, avoid it
Reply:Yes, it's dying. Thank God. Now we just need to get rock and roll back to the basics. Poor Buddy Holly is rolling in his grave.
Reply:To each is own, but Hip Hop will NEVER ever never die, so you better get use to it. Especially in Texas. You are in the wrong place if you don't like hip hop. I am hip hop and hip hop is me and it is you too whether you like it or not. Maybe you are not listening to the right artists. Try some Nas or some Talib Kweli. So you go to gay clubs and dance and party? That sounds a little questionable to me partner. Real men don't dance at gay clubs, so you might want to question your status before you ask if hip hop is dead. That might be why you don't like hip hop, but I don't know because women like hip hop too.
Reply:Nope, and being from Houston, you are actually in a hip hop hotbed...cuz Paul Wall, Lil Flip and Chamillionaire are all from Texas and are pretty popular as of now.
Reply:Most people who "hate" hip hop dont really hate the music, they dont like it because it relates to unpleasent things in their mind such as crime and materialistic behavior from blacks. Unfortunately, if you got locked into this way of thinking (probably from the media and overexposure to mainstream rap), there no real way to remove this association.
Anyways about your question, hip hop is the fastest growing form of music today and in the history of civilization, and it will be around long after all of us are dead.
Reply:good god i hope so, i hate, HATE, HATE!! hip hop and rap. LONG LIVE GRUNGE!!!!!!
Reply:Hip hop is here to stay just like rock, gospel, R%26amp;B, etc and the reason being $$$$. If it dont make $$$ then it dont make sense. Sad but true and the hip hop industry generates over a billion dollars a year. And now with endorsements from Nike, Coca Cola, etc ringtones it want fall into the trillion dollar bracket and you may hear HIP HOP 24/7. Sorry but in America money TALKS and everything else WALKS....
Go to listen to Snook www.myspace.com/snookmusic He's an independent artist that I think got a good chance and you may be hearing him pretty soon
