What happened to hip hop?
Its not that good Hip Hop died so much as it went into hiding. You're right in saying that Hip Hop's golden period ended in the mid 90s mostly because it was after that time that the gap between mainstream hip hop and good hip hop became obvious. Think about it, back in the 90's a tribe called quest was definately mainstream music. After their first album went GOLD (sold 500,000 + copies) their next three albums went PLATINUM, which shows that besides being real good music, a tribe called quest was on the radio and TV all the time. This situation is completely different than Hip Hop now. 99% of hip hop on the radio, MTV, and BET is complete garbage. However all hope is not lost. Good hip hop can still be found--you just have to look a little harder. Relatively mainstream artists like The Roots, Talib Kweli, and Common are still making good music. Underground Hip Hop is still alive and well too and if you listen to that, you'll see artists who care about the music more than money and bling.

Reply:theres still some decent songs by like ne-yo and chris brown. pop, lock, and drop it and i'm a flirt are good songs too, though i agree with you. im not that much of a classical rock gal, mostly alternative and light rock i guess. i love pop music as well.
Reply:I'm with you on that. I feel bad for the generations that are coming up in the world that will be listening to that.
Reply:Can you say "undergound"?





Or even "Alternative"...





Good rap is out there.





Look for it.
