Do you consider the culture we have today in the black community hip-hop?

If a culture changes after a generation or so can it still be called the same as it was initially?

Do you hip-hop culture is dead?

The commercialized bs you see charting isn’t hip hop, it’s rap. Hip hop still lives, but it’s following the path of jazz, rock and RnB: sold and profited on by people that didn’t create it, yet done best in non-mainstream settings by those that gave it birth.

Nope...because people don't rock it out, Baby Bubba, to the boogety bang bang -
the rhythm of the boogety beat.
