I think good Hip Hop is dead... Some of the Best Hip Hop albums came out this year and they did not get the attention they deserved. For example Game Theory by The Roots. Seriously every time I listen to my local station there is nothing but songs with stupid dances, i.e. walk it out, chicken noodle soup. Hip Hop ain't dead its just on life support...

actual. Whats quite suggested about it truly is, hip hop change into the hollow for rappers who had something significant to assert, something that makes you imagine. particular there have been interesting basic hearted songs lower back than too, yet none of it change into offensive. The market now's crammed up with nonsense "artists" with one or 2 hits that are literally not something more suitable than infectious strong beats, compiled with stupid and simplistic lyrics and ridiculous track video clips that one and all look a similar - exploiting women human beings, black women human beings specially, putting the kind and Black human beings in most cases in an adverse basic. Its loopy how basic it truly is to get a fulfillment track at the moment. I formally declared this even as "Laffy Taffy" went to huge form one on the Billboard charts. What the hell? Come on, even "Toostie Roll" change into extra effective than that. That and "fowl Noodle Soup". I turn on the radio now, and that i'll listen a track that repeats the word "it truly is the reason i'm warm" persistently contained in the chorus to the point the position you'll imagine thats the full track, yet another that sounds only a similar yet instead has the line "Now walk it out," etc etc. Its all so redundant. do not get me incorrect, there are a good number of songs that repeat a similar line repeatedly (fairly previous ones) yet you in no way get the vibe that its uninspired piece of crap. each so often i have self assurance like i'm between the few childrens my age (17) who really look to comprehend this. I listen them sing a lengthy to those songs and that i'm like, are you extreme? Do they extremely like this? track in most cases hasn't been strong because the 90s. there are a approach of exceptions yet they're overshadowed yet advertisement productions, undeserved radio airplay, etc.
