Hip Hop is not dead....Comercially its fucked up....But for every G-Unit or Shop Boys (never heard of them before) there is a talent not getting his/her shine.

If we went by record sales...Hip Hop was dead back when MC Hammer was running around. Dig a little...great music is out there.

There are a few real hip hop artists out there. Not these money hungry fags on MTV, talking about bitches, cars and jewellery. They aren't real hip hop. Gah! MTV ruined music.

Didn't bone thugs also make a song with akon? Dear oh dear. I also love dead prez and mos def. Also dilated peoples and immortal technique are good.

Underground hip hop is still alive and strong. Just hope it stays that way.

Hip Hop isnt dead as my man posted above. COMMERCIAL Hip Hop is dying. And who really cares about that? Its fucking up the real stuff anyway.

Rakim should be pushing some stuff out.
Wu is doing another album.
For you old schoolers like me, the latest KRS-1 album is nice..
Guru has some new shit.

Theres stuff out there, just not getting Radio play. And again, who the fuck listens to the Radio?

;-)

I have to agree that Rap/Hip Hop is a genera that has ran it's course... There is no original sound anymore, they steal other people's material to lay their tracks on top of, They no longer are there to point out the social ills of todays society, it's all about selling a label.

if u think commercial hip hop is dying wait and see how many records 50 and Kanye sell here when their new albums drop..commercial hip hop isnt dying its thriving..thats why you see new groups and artists every fucking day..and all of em have money now..that moneys gotta come from somewhere..BUYERS:)

then you got people like lil wayne who is commercial but over the last year has been killing shit with his mixtapes..its about money..and money is in commercial hip hop..yea people might claim they wanna stay underground but thats cuz no one else wants em..look at Eminem..if you follow him back to his underground shit it was killer..but when it came time to sign his name for that money..and what would commercial hip hop be today without him?

yea when you get into commercial alot of times you get pop beats and lame lyrics..but theres alot of good commercial shit out there.
