Hip Hop is not dead....Comercially its fucked up....But for every G-Unit or Shop Boys (never heard of them before) there is a talent not getting his/her shine.

If we went by record sales...Hip Hop was dead back when MC Hammer was running around. Dig a little...great music is out there.

There are a few real hip hop artists out there. Not these money hungry fags on MTV, talking about bitches, cars and jewellery. They aren't real hip hop. Gah! MTV ruined music.

Didn't bone thugs also make a song with akon? Dear oh dear. I also love dead prez and mos def. Also dilated peoples and immortal technique are good.

Underground hip hop is still alive and strong. Just hope it stays that way.

Hip Hop isnt dead as my man posted above. COMMERCIAL Hip Hop is dying. And who really cares about that? Its fucking up the real stuff anyway.

Rakim should be pushing some stuff out.
Wu is doing another album.
For you old schoolers like me, the latest KRS-1 album is nice..
Guru has some new shit.

Theres stuff out there, just not getting Radio play. And again, who the fuck listens to the Radio?

it is dead to what it was we will never see classic albums like illmatic, ready to die,only built for cuban linx, liquid swords, or 36 chambers ever again but there is still decent music but it will never be as good as it was in the 90's
