i personally feel its been raped and pillaged.
Just for execs to make $$$$
People need to realise Hip Hop is made up of Four elements,
Which is a lifestyle/Culture.
Rapping is one element,
which has been marketed and commercialised beyond belief these days.. It's fucking pitiful!
Theres some good music out there, we just have to search alot harder to sift through all the bullshit.
Dont hate Hip Hop....lol
bun b, outkast, talib kweli, mos def, apathy, papoose, black star, hi-tek just to name a few the others haven't. hip-hip ain't dead, and yes it has been turned into a cash cow, same as everything else. it's out there, you just have to search for it!

being in the music business, i can say for sure that rap/hiphop is easily the worst to deal with. i record people for a living and i charge what i consider a fair price. however, i apparently charge too much for hiphop. can't tell you how many times i worked on a song where the artist was bragging about how much money/drugs they had and not want to pay more than 20 bucks for the 6 or 7 hours i spent polishing their turd. they can't even hook up a decent sack! sure, there's people who take their time and do it right but 99% think they're famous just because their voice is on a cd. i blame the parents.
and these arent just the local shitty wannabes either. some of these artists have grammy nominations and are taken very seriously by a lot of people. i'd name names, but i don't want to get shot at.
Does Kottonmouth Kings count?
I wanna hear Up Jumped the Monkey in rap!!!! :S2:
You remember....
Up jumped the monkey from the coconut grove
He was a bad motherfucker you could tell by his clothes
He jumped from the trees with his wand in his hand
And said listen up everybody I'm the bebop man... :D

Hip Hop and Rap are 2 different genres of music, for all of you confusing the 2.
bullshit rap IS hip hop. Hip hop is more like the lifestyle than the music.Quote:
