Hip Hop is DEAD!!!

Now lets get to it. As far as the rap videos displaying what he defines as popular subculture which is includes rap music, break dancing and graffiti art. .. I would like to know exactly WHAT rap videos is my competitor watching? ? Rap videos today only display cars, diamonds and big booty models. NONE of which is what he himself describes as the popular sub culture which defines Hip Hop. Don't believe me, watch 106 & Park or MTV Jams, the proof is in the pudding. Secondly, what I mean by lyrical talent is simply the rhyme scheme in which a rapper uses to form his verses. In the 90's with Nas, Wu-Tang clan and YES the Notorious B. I. G. rhymes schemes were more complex. "Flaming Gats, aiming at You fu$king Maniacs Put my name in raps What part of the game is that Like they hustle backwards, I smoke Blackwoods And Dutchies, you cant touch me Try to rush me, slugs go touchie-touchie Your bleeding lovely, with your spirit above me" (Notorious B. I. G. ) - Long Kiss Goodnight - Life after Death (Album) This is what I mean by lyrical talent. A complicated rhyme scheme where the words and lines just flow. (Flow which is also a slang term for rap) Nothing like what we have today. Work, work, work, work, work. What chu twerking wit Shorty bust it open, show me what you working wit. A$$ so fat need a lap dance. I'm in that white ghost serving Pacs Man. (French Montana) - Pop That - Excuse my French (Album) Yes this is what we have today. Simple nursery rhymes with cute little metaphors. White Ghost referring to a white Rolls Royce Phantom (Ghost) and Pacman whom eats ghost. Yeah I get it, amusing, but how is it complex? And what exactly are we learning from this. How to own a $500,000 car and still feel the need to sell coke. It's nonsense. If you have the power to reach a large audience with your music, then why not teach something valuable? Jay-Z believed this and today he is a living legend. Why cant other MC's adopt that same ideology? ? It's because he prevailed in an era where Hip Hop was meaningful and today there is no need to deliver any message in your music what so ever. You will still gain popularity simply by rapping about BS. . (Hoes, Jewels and Cars) As for the abundance of people you mentioned wanting to rap, well that's typical and expected. Because Rap is such an easy field to break into, every little two-bit hustler from the streets suddenly wants to do it and sees it as an easy way out. And NOT as a form of artistic expression in which all genre of music is intended to be, including Hip Hop. They see the girls, cars and clothes and they want that. It has NOTHING to do with respect for the culture or history of Hip Hop. Ask these so-called inspiring MC's to name Sugar Hill Gang's first album and see if you can get an answer. Finally, as for the companies paying out mass amounts of money to rappers that have so-called "Talent", trust me it has nothing to do with talent. The general public has changed throughout the past decade or so. Now they are obsessed and entertained by complete Bullsh%t. . (I. E. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Lindsey Lohan) Companies don't make decisions based on personal feelings, they make decisions based on what's good for business. What is selling at the time. And apparently, at the current time, this s what's selling. DON'T Drop that Thun, thun, thun DON"T Drop that Thun, thun, thun DON"T Drop that Thun, thun, thun DON"T Drop that Thun, thun, thun (Finatticz) - Don't Drop that Thun, thun, thun - (I don't know if they even have an album to put this on) But this is what the public is consuming in 2013. Ten-Million views on Youtube don't lie. . http://youtu.be... Thus proving my point that Hip Hop is in fact DEAD!
