R.I.P.Rap music

Is hip hop dead? Mainstream rap seems to have sold out with the likes of Jay-z and Dr. Dre shilling their overpriced gaudy wares to idiots whove never been in the game, while the in charts we have total wusses claiming to be rappers :rolleyes:, they probably don't know what a hoe is for never mind putting a few 'caps in an ass.

I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
Roll to every station, murder the DJ"

We need more homophobic scum bags to make it real again. There hasn't been a proper street artist since Vanilla ice.

It is.

And if you don't know, now you know...

It was good for five minutes before it became about hoe,s and bling.

It's been dead since the Sugarhill Gang split.

Hip Hop died a very long time ago. This, THIS, is actually considered music today.

It died at the end of the nineties,as a teenager at that time I couldn't believe the Hip-hop that was coming out of the US,every Saturday I'd sit in recording tunes on tape cassettes.

Post Malone is where it's at.

Not letters or packages or anything post related, that's just his first name.

Rap was dead to me the moment people started declaring that 2Pac and Biggie Smalls were the greatest ever.

How long you been in the game fam/blood!?

I miss when people rapped about something other than how great they are. There's room for that but its constant now and not even done well.

Blah blah I have lots of money ( even though you've never heard of me before) I am hard as nails ( which is why I need bodyguards) and all the women want me ( so I pay for models to appear in my videos)

I'm a strong believer in the whole practice of practice what you preach idea. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the late and great Wu Tang clan anchorman Old Dirty Bastard yet. Millions in the bank, nice gaf, the whole shebang. Bored one afternoon, he decided to entertain himself by smoking a big rock of betty black. While under the influence, he decided to go stroking despite the fact he was a multi millionaire with easy cash on tap. He got caught though, stroking a pair of runners out of some shop, and died not too long afterwards of 'natural causes' at the ripe old age of 36. Mad c*nt.

EltonJohn69

Tupac was the greatest ever.... no other rapper had the emotional resonance as him.... he elevated the genre

Yeah I be on the same wave as yourself there. Ever listen to 'Quasimoto' - 'The Unseen' LP done by Madlib? I'd say you'd like it if you haven't heard it already. great beats and tracks and lyrics do not take themselves serious at all. Great album

I ain't eva gonna stop rhyming
Till my bank accounts climbing
when I own all the streets
Then I be resting my feet
You ain't get nothing for free
But that's too hard for these suckas to see
They all think I'm down but they ain't gonna stop me
I'll kill all these hoods
Bury them under six feet of mud
I'm sick of all their lying
It's time these fools be dying.

Danny Brown is another good modern Rap artist to check out. Will pull the p!ss out of the violent, money mad, drug addled scene and also himself. Really good stuff. Seen him last year twice in Dublin, was brilliant shows, will def go see this guy again. Great party albums.

I go way back to the 80's with my hip-hop and rap music.

Back to the time of the Roxy in Newyork, the Club's in Venice LA.

Then I progressed into deep house music.

To get a taste of old school rap check out the movie Beat Street

I heard something there the other day, I dunno is it that trap craic..not really sure what trap is..but it sounded like some black emo kid trying to emotionally blackmail some bird..made me nostalgic for a time when they rapped about guns and cars..

"It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" is another good example of early rap:

Still some good hip hop talent emerging but then you hear stuff from Tekashi 69 and I'm like I know I'm getting older but what's with the kids today?

CrankyHaus

About 6 years ago, after Kendrick's first two albums and ASAP emerged, I thought hip-hop was about to get seriously good again.That kind of fizzled out.

As Buried mentioned Madlib it would be remiss to leave this out, such a classic album:

The documentary about the label behind it, Stone's Throw Records, is also well worth a watch:
