Is hip-hop still hip hop?

[Neuromancer]

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?


Thiskus.

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.

hip hop is still hip hop when hip hop still hip hops

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