is Hip Hop really dead ??

[Raheem95]

fukking @ the concept of hip hop being dead as long the GOAT Hov is still alive and making by far the GOAT rap music

OP comes off as a pathetic, p*ssy lacking, ungrateful fukk boy to be bytching about the dogshyt sandwiches being served up by these god awful new artists when the GOAT Hov is serving up the GOATliest of gourmet 16 course meals on the regular and already dropped a 5 star dinner with ATWU

i'm a fan of Jay Z but yo stop riding his dikk b. your gimmick is worse than these new rappers gimmicks

Hip hop isn't dead, it's just in a slump

This year so far has been underwhelming in terms of quality rap music and there isn't any upcoming albums or projects dropping that I'm looking forward to

I still manage to find some gems here and there though so it's not all bad

It's in a coma.....hooked up to a life support system....the machine is what's keeping it alive....the whole nursing staff is white

I won't even ask you how

 

[Neil Tyson]

people still listen to rap?

 

[B-Mint94]

Nope. But this year has been pretty lackluster so far IMO.

 

[Big Mel]

A rotten, picked over corpse. Absolutely. For 20 years.

The problem with these "hip hop is dead" cats is they think the music industry & mainstream not reflecting what hip hop once was means it's dead

Hip hop isn't any more dead as hardcore/punk. And hardcore/punk isn't dead

As long as local music cultures exist, hip hop is alive.

 

[Ol’Otis]

its in a vegetative state

hip hop is going through a "transition" (pun intended)

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Let's be real..the vibe has been gone yonks ago!!!
The music used to hold shyt down but that's been torn up and thrown out the window..

 

[Kitsune]

hiphop is corny now, I see somebody blasting shyt out of their car these days and I automatically think fukkboy. nikkas these days have the taste of women

 

[Pop123]

When lyrics became pretty much completely moot and shhit became almost entirely about vibing/riding the beat and making people wanna dance/bounce…shhit got dark and the South reigned, .





Lyrics are atrocious and took no talent or time to write…but don’t front, your head was noddin or ya shoulders was movin!!! Pause. Mine was too, , shhit sound kinda crazy, . HHID

 

[thaKEAF]

haven’t listened to one rap album so far this year

 

[Metal Face]

no it just went underground
