why? one cannot comment on the sorry state that is hip hop?

 

[Ahmed]

It is in a pretty sorry state. Hip hop's decline was the front page story of this past Sunday's New York Times Arts section:

The Shrinking Market Is Changing the Face of Hip-Hop

of course it's on the decline.It's getting annoying seeing 5000 generic albums released each year about "the hood" by wannabe gangstas directed at 12 year old suburban kids who are also wannabe gangstas.

There is still some good stuff released, but it will probably never match the stuff that was released in the 80s and 90s

 

[Zé Tahir]

Hip Hop is not in a decline...American hip hop is in a decline.

Exactly.I mean,why the fuck does someone like Bow Wow even GET a record deal?

 

[Firestarter]

good stuff 06

Thanks mate.

Maybe, that's what Nas was talking bout when Hip Hop is Dead came out, quite debatable still looks a good year though imo.

 

[Salvatore]

Grime and Jungle

 

[Marceℓℓo]

Lil Wayne and Tha Carter III pisses me off,he should stop taking drugs for a while and drop that album.

 

[Ahmed]

i wouldn't say hip hop is dead...its the quality of the stuff coming out these days that is questionable

 

[Marc]

Exactly.I mean,why the fuck does someone like Bow Wow even GET a record deal?

The same can be said about thousands of rock stars wannabes.

P.S. Guns N´Roses suck.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Did Gsol tell you that?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

the only ones that look worthwhile to me would be, nas, lupe fiasco and CRS, i didn't know lupe fiasco and kanye west were gonna make an album.

 

[Firestarter]

Yeah, a CRS album is my dream Craka

 

[Chazz]

This real hiphop bs and 80s and 90s hiphop was so much better debate its really starting to annoy me if u like 'real hiphop' good for you listen to it and non of the other bs. I like hiphop in general from the old and new stuff, american and international etc i'l probably listen to most of the stuff fifa posted (good job btw) and then draw my clonclusion

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yeah, a CRS album is my dream Craka

yeah, lupe and kanye are the only current hip-hop i really like these days, do you think that album is likely?

 

[Firestarter]

I ain't sure, Lupe said maybe this year, but all the members are busy, I really really really do hope so though.
