Rap has gone too far. I agree with the article and Joey 100%. Promoting and glorifing violence, sex and meterial aspects of the music is the reason why it has gone too far. The mainstream pop sensation music shouldn’t be classified as rap music. It should be pop music with Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson, etc. Threating to kill your competition and their fam is not the way 2 get rid of your comp. You do it by being musically better than your opponent. But its no longer the 80s and its not about out rapping or out breaking your opponent anymore, its about having more money, sex anhd killing him now. When people like Lil’ Wayne are now being considered the best, you know your tvs and radios should be off. People hip hop and rap music isn’t dead. Our culture and music isn’t dead, its just the whites control the media and is poisioning the masses thru the radios and tvs. Look to the undergroud for real artists like Bone Thugs~N~Harmony, Boot Camp Clik, The L.O.X., Slaughterhouse, MF Doom, Immortal Technique, Lupe Fiasco, GemStones aka Gemini, Zion I, Nas, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Blu, Xzibit, Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater, Freeway, Young Chris, Chamillionaire, etc. Its not hard to find you just have to stop being lazy and stop complaining and you’ll actually find some great music.

The word ignorant really describes all the fights or beef as they call it, that exist within the Hip hop community which is an entity within the African American community. It is a fact that there will be problems between rappers but sometimes it seems it is a ploy to make more money, not that i condone that but more importantly it reflects the psychology of racism because racism within race contributes to what is happening among rappers. There is the will power to be on top and by oppressing other rappers we create beefs amongst each other. It sickens me because i really admire a lot of these rap artist who have experienced hard life and made it. I really hope they can look deep and make rap music for what it is all about an expression of their live experiences and a source of hope for black people and other races.

this is to let you know that the times have indeed changed, and they are getting worse. they had all of that violence back in the day, but a lot of the music was more about love and partying. the trap existed way before it was rapped about. once again, responsibility starts at home. don’t let your kids listen to it, and raise them in a different lifestyle. plenty of kids grew up in this era and are not centered on the views that some of this music expresses.

myself being a musician can see in the future the industry letting hip hop and r&b ( to me there is no difference hip hop has singers doing guest spots r&b always feature rappers and it a selling point for both) get so bad that it will be banned.they both are oversexed all about the dollar and thuggism.the industry will milk these two genres for all they can get.the only bail out i see is going to come from true artist’s not these cookie cutters. here is something else to think about. white kids are playing intruments and doing funk my specialty aint no black kids pickin up shit but a mouse or a mic, makin beats instead of music, using fruity loops (another tool to keep black kids away from real instruments. my opinion)ive met kids who didnt know what a snare drum was. now ( and im not being racist just real) white cats slappin the hell out of bass guitars singin more soul ful than some blacks and rappin we as a race has a tendency to create something and let it go for some one else to call it theirs. and this youth vs the old shit is getting on my nerves these youngsters not knowing the history of the music they love and could care less about it. parents who are music lovers not turning their kids on to the good shit instead of buying a x box buying a guitar or keyboard. showing them how fun it is to do live music, for it will make them smarter more coordinated and off the damn streets. i cant remember the last time ive seen a young cat 15 or 16 or 20 except in gospel get up a band and do some funk soul or rock for that matter let alone some hip hop with some seeds for thought comin from a young cat they talk about the same shit killin, sex, drugs and hustlin so until we have a bail out of this madness in the industry now black music as we know it will surely die if we dont do something about it

Real hip-hop is not gangsta rap period.Hip-hop is the expression of music and lyrics in time. Hip-Hop is the Bible of rap just like the Holy Bible is the bible of life, and for life.

The problem with hip hop is not the message but the messenger. Any idiot can talk crap. Why pick illiterate homo-thugs? Yeah I said it. They just a bunch of suckers messin it up for REAL brothers with real jobs.

I’m down to beef if there’s a fight involved. You lose you get out of hip hop. I won’t lose so that’s not an option.

And to all of these young brothers following this crap, I probably make as much as these rappers and I write software.

Peep out some hip hop with actual words. I mean Pop That Pu$$y? Rode the D**k like a soldier?

JOE BUDDEN DOES NOT HAVE THE FORUM FOR ME TO LISTEN TO HIM, HE’S BEEFED WITH GAME AND OTHERS, SO I’M NOT ABOUT TO ENTERTAIN LISTENING TO HIS VIEW, HIP-HOP IS WHAT THE MUSIC ONCE WAS, IT GREW TO BE RAP, AND THEN IT BECAME GANGSTA, IT’S ALL A PRODUCT OF TIME, THIS IS THE EVOLUTION OF THE MUSIC, AND JUST CUZ IT DOESN’T SAY THINGS THAT ARE POSITIVE DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T HAVE A MESSAGE, JUST AS IN LIFE WE ALL AHVE DIFFERNENT EXPERIENCES, SO DOES THE MUSIC, IT’S THE SAME AS ANYONE WE WOULD CHOOSE TO HANG WITH, WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE PERIOD, NOW I DON’T FEEL MOST OF THE NEWER ARTISTS, BUT IF THEY MAKING THEY MONEY WHO AM I TO HATE, CUZ I AM MY SONS ROLE MODEL, AND BECAUSE I SAY SOULJA BOY IS WACK TO ME THEY DON’T LISTEN TO HIM ANYMORE BY CHOICE

Hip Hop was a form of expression. This new Hip Hop is not expression, it is controlled by the labels…which makes it fake. It is misleading to the youth and everyone in our communities who look at the music industry for role models. We must begin to embrace our independent artists in our communities, instead of these TAILOR MADE THUGS. I agree with the vid…

caliave – you speaking the truth – come of us cats been listening to cats from the south since late 80s – shoot Ghetto boys was hard as hell forever. The problem that nowadays these cats is wack – no one is saying anything all that interesting. What happened to ill word play and just being lyrically ill. I don’t care so much about all the fake killing and thugging -I just wish someone said something slick again – back in the day bushwick bill would said some shyt like – “ill put my d@#$ in your eye and straight skull fu32 you bit34″ that something slick.

Hip Hop and rap are connected. Rap is the official music of Hip Hop. Breakdancing is the official dance of Hip Hop. Graffiti is the official artform of Hip Hop. I can’t be the only person on here to remember how this shit started. Gangsta rap has been a big part of rap since the mid 80′s this shit ain’t nothing new. Everybody wants to act like this is some ground breaking shit. This is the same music from ’88 (if you listened to more than New York shit) just different rappers.

hip hop has been long confused with gangsta rap and since then it has lost much appeal. like i said several times before, if i wanted to get cursed out, all i have to do is go outside, i should not have to turn on my radio to hear crap. i stopped listening to black radio years ago when this dark form of brutality came in. i rarely listen now unless it an old skool nite. i mostly listen to talk radio now and educate myself on the issues of the day and not the ignorant violence of black radio. as a musician, i get paid to make people relax and get excited about life, not regret it!
GANGSTA RAP IS JUNK, HIP HOP IS DEAD, LETS BURY IT AND MOVE ON TO CREATING A BETTER LIFE INSTEAD OF GLORIFYING ITS HORRORS!!!

“Hip Hop was once a way for African Americans to express social and political views but has become a combination of a minstrel show, reality TV show and a blacksploitation movie.”

The above comment is so true! I remember those days clearly. But unfortunately, musicians show a view of what is going on in the community. Whatever is within, will come to the surface. In the past, the lyricists used to tell the nation what was going on in their communities via music. In Africa they were called Griots, meaning storytellers. Then the government became worried because the communities were starting to listen and straighten up their communities. (Remember NWA’s F the Police.” Who could forget “Fight the Power?”)

What most people don’t understand is that music is now being used as a way to control the masses. In other words, to dumb them down…

Well, personally i don’t think that hip-hop ever died. Just because a few rappers got a hold to Fruit Loop and Pro Tools, and made something that people wasn’t vibing to, that doesn’t mean that hip hop is dead. There are still some great rappers in the music industry that speak on real thangs and not just how much money they thank they got. With that said, i never got with the idea that rappers and reporters had the right to assume that hip-hop was dead anyway. I thought that was the opinion of th epublic and the fans that listen to it. Its become a industry thats mostly about “getting money” and “movin’ weight” basically. My thoughts are if its bumpin, then im listening to it. Everyone is gonna have they opinion about it and speak they mind, but basically hip hop will neva die. Its an neva ending art thats evolving and transitioning just like everything else in this world. Get it ?

the article is quite interesting but u have made a huge mistake . Hip hop and rap are really not the same, and u put too much light on 50 cents. That man is a entrepreneur an entertainer or eventually a rapper , try to make day after day more and more billions , good for him. Hip hop is a culture where u try to express what u feel, and the motivation is not only the money. The lyrical art of that culture is called MC’ing. Mos def is a MC, Jay dilla (RIP) is a MC, KRS 1 is a MC …. I can name a lot , but 50 Cents is just a rapper. To be an MC u have to move the crowd positively, with some wise funny intelligent lyrics. When u are a rapper , the only important stuff is ur bank account or how many woman u will have in ur bed soon.
I think that the title of the article is totally wrong, Hip hop is not only rapping, u have dancers all over the world , painters , human beat boxers, DJ and so on and so on . And the hip hop territory not just internet or USA It’s worlwide. And i can tell u that Japan is really big in hip hop , France too , Switzerland , Germany, just google BATTLE OF THE YEAR, JUSTE DEBOUT, STYL2OUF.COM and u will be surprised to see how alive hip hop is far from those childish beef

Hip hop died along time ago right along with R&B. Hip hop and r&b had meaning to it, where you had to put in hard work just to get signed. I could make a rap song today and make it on the radio, because their taking any thing now. I hope it would be like it was before, but ounce something is Dead you can’t resurrect it back alive. R.I.P to Hip hop and R&B.

It’s simple: if you have to ask if hip hop is dead (a VERY common question these days), then there is a problem…

nobody asks if the big mac is dead, nobody asks if the internet is dead, nobody asks of Coke/Pepsi are dead…these things are alive and well w/o question…

if hip hop isn’t dead, it damn sure is in a coma…but it damn sure isn’t as dead as R&B!
