Necro is OK.. i'm tell you guy.. Aesop Rock is in a class of his own. Get high sit back and listen.

hip hop rite now is like this:
there are these guyz on the block who is always known 2 have dat fiya, that real good shit, that haze that northern lights that kush, those r ur good rappers, now these kids want everything these guy has worked for but can't compete, so they start spraying htheir weed with bugspray, and lacing it with other shit, these are ur fake rappers tryin 2 front what their puttin out as good shit and people have jumped on the bandwagon leaving the other guys on the corner like WTF? but like in the streets, when people realize what the guys who have been spraying their weed (covering their wack hip hop up with gimmicks and repetitive slogans) have been doing they are going to fuck them up and go back 2 the dealers/rappers who have dat fiya, who have been there the whole time but u just had 2 look 4 and still had sum loyal followers, and i personally can't wait 4 that day 2 come

hip hop isn't dead..Mainstream hip hop has really gone downhill though. there are excellent rappers and hip hop artists out right now

Rap died with tupac, biggie, and the wu-tang clan. What everyone is left with is hip hop and that shit aint worth a damn. Its a bunch of shit with minute long chorus and 10 seconds worth of rapping that doesnt actually rhyme they just say the words funny so it sounds like it works. I had respect for rap in the early 90s but i have none for the no talent punks that make millions for nothing.

you need to look underground; hip hop did not die with pac and biggie...

IMO, Hip Hop is not dead and will never die...it's evolving as everything does. Many may say it's not what it used to be and that is true. As individuals we tend to like what we like and become set in our ways, but that doesn't mean something you dislike is dead. I do agree that mainstream hip hop is defiantly not my style, some catch my attention every now and then, but that's it. Buy the newest Nas record and LISTEN to the lyrics and tell me hip hop is dead.

My favorite song off Nas's "Untitled"...

Testify.

[Nas Talking]
Wanna dedicate this joint right here
To Johnason, Jackson, and George Jackson
Peace to those brothers
Wanna shoutout my man "sherm the worm"
80 years…
Come home nigga
Come home…niggas…
Uh…

[VERSE 1]
I just burnt my American flag
And sent three cracker Nazi's to hell and I'm sad
Uh, I'm loading tefs in my mag
To send these red neck bigots some death in a bag
Choke him out with his confederate flag; I know these devils are mad
Little rap fans that live way out in safe suburbia
Would you stand with me, a United States murderer?
Huh?

[Nas talking]
Would you testify?
You buy my songs
You buy my songs
But would you ride with me?
You understand my struggle
That's what you claim, right?
Well get your aim right
And get your game tight

[Verse 2]
Don't buy my songs, ya'll don't roll with it
Come into concerts, singing hoe and shit
F**k ya'll little little hoe bitches,
I don't need ya'll, I'll go gold with it
I heard ya'll was downloading it (huh,)
Like I'm ya man who be exposing shit (hehe,)
Like uh, William Cooper, who told you the pale horse is the future

[Nas talking]
Would you testify with some realness like that?
I think you scared (hehe)
I don't think you prepared
Yeah…
You know what I'm asking you?
Do we know what I'm asking you? Hahaha
Wow…
Wow…

how can anyone say hip hop died ? hip hop only gets bigger and better each year
yeah pac and big were the best of their time but hip hop will never ever die
mark my words hip hop is the music that never dies ..........you watch our kids will
be bumpin that shit ... theres no way in hell that genre could die

thats what they said about disco...

to an extint you're right.. it'll never die because it, like disco, has a place in the club.. it's good booty music.. but I think the over-all of hip-hop is slowly dying out.. but it'll always be played in the clubs and shit.. but it's popularity is dying.. people are starting to find ity lacks substance.. and personally.. no disrespect intended,, but I feel like anybody can rap.. it takes lyrical talent.. but the music is simple to produce... where as MUSIC is meant to be played by real muscians.. ya know.. people who play instruments and sing..

hip hops popularity is not dying out. Anyone whose making comments like that...I have no idea where you're coming from. From what I see with my own eyes and from what I can extrapolate from experience, hip hop is still extremely popular and getting bigger. New rappers are coming up that more and more people are hearing about as time goes by. Producing has been gradually improving; DJs and producers are becoming very experimental. Hip hop is the heart of the block, you know? as long as we have the steaming sidewalks and inner cities, we'll have a hip hop culture and thus hip hop will survive even through this dry spot where it all lacks substance or it doesn't sound the same or whatever. This is just a new generation of hip hop and there will be another one when the time is right. Companies are going to milk this style out (the weezy/t pain garbage) until they realize that the money is going because people are tired of it. that's going to be a while because when new joints drop, people are on it. it won't just stay in the club - ever, period. I'm from NY and live in Philly right now; I see people walking around freestyling and they come out of no where; cyphers on the corner; the hip hop scene, especially Phillies, blowing up and bringing on newcomers. even back in the small town I grew up in people have fun by freestyling because there's nothing else to do.

and being able to rap well is harder than it may seem.

Everybody that says hip hop is dead/dying is probly older than 20 y/o.

If you ask sum1 under 20 y/o they probly love every song that comes out.

I dont think hip hop is dying... its just i am getting older, and the music that coming out now is completely dif than what i grew up listening to. I dont listen to anything new, I listen to the music that came out in 1998 - 2001 era.. bascially LYRICAL music with hard beats. lil wayne is NOT a lyricist... he raps, he can flow... but his words are so fuckin wack! if hes lyrical, then i should be a rapper cuz i could sell a million records rappin stupid shit like him. and wayne is NOT hip hop - hes HIP POP.

dont listen to the radio stations, they cater to the younger generations. if you dont fuk wit all the gay music, make your own mixes and play em in your car. i havent listened to the radio in at least 5 years.

theres real hip hop out there... you jus gotta find it.

oh how i wish HIP POP was dying...

but disco only lasted like 10 years. and how long since rap? like the late 80s and its still going extremely strong and alot of it is wayyy better. its just not AS good since 2pac and his kinda peoples but there'll just be more people and more rap and i don't think its gonna die..
ahahhaa
=)

well people under 20 like it because its cool to like it. When they get out of high school they start to realize what the fuck was i listening to? They realize its a bunch of untalented hacks that dont deserve the money they get for the trash they put on a record.

Mainstream hip hop(if you can even call it that) is dead, and has been for a while, theres still a lot of good underground shit though
