Why "real" hip hop died in the late 90's early 2000's

[Y2Dre]

The Jews started to phase out conscious rap more and more until it barely existed in the mainstream.

at one point there was conscious rap, and then we had the shyt that was fun party shyt.

now its all nonsense with no balance. The game as of right now is like Megatron with no Optimus

When hooks became more important than the actual lyrics played a big part in it.

No one wants to be labled the nicest nikka in the game anymore, nikkas want to be labeled the richest, so quality is not the same. Rap isn't a sport b, nikkas just wanna eat. Old school nikkas was suppose to teach the young nikkas quality over quantity but them nikkas was selfish themselves b. That's why the young nikkas be like fukk you.

actually, I heard Lil Wayne, T.I., and J.Cole claim themselves as the greatest rappers out.

there weren't many rappers claiming that they are the best back in the 90's and 80's so WTF

[Firefly]

Thing is the music had too much message in it and had to be watered down. It was a powerful tool that was more on some inside code of the streets communications shyt. It was the internet back then. Messages travelled through those tapes and cds and created a feeling that connected you with people all over the world organically, without even having a computer.


Now you have a computer but everything is synthetic. The music and movements don't have that organic feeling.

Plus back then it wasn't as much of a feminized, non-threatening, black male image as you've been seeing the past few years.
