What is HipHop?Is it dead or alive.?

Question

Please be spacific>>>Thanks

Answer 1

To answer your questions...

To me, real hip hop (as opposed to commercial/mainstream rap) stays closer to the roots of hip hop music (i.e. - speaking on social and/or political issues, storytelling, bragging about one's lyrical skills while roasting another MC, etc.), and the artists actually have talent, variety (especially in subject matter), and substance. A quick example...

Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, A Tribe Called Quest = hip hop
Pall Wall, Chamillionaire, Chingy, Young Jibbs = rap

See the difference?

And is hip hop dead? Well, mainstream rap/hip hop pretty much is, but hip hop as a whole isn't. As long as somebody out there is doing it for the love of the music and not necessarily the money or the fame, hip hop will never die.

Answer 2

Its alive, hip hop is Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 cent, m&m, wutang, Some like it some don't.

Answer 3

in Nas's eyes its dead because when he came out, hip-hop was different than what it is now. i think hip-hop is evolving into a new state of mind. pretty soon it will outrank any other style of music because so many ppl can relate to it now.

Answer 4

Answer 5

i'm particularly needed, lifeless. Oxford college has asked my ideas for study applications as quickly as I've complete with it. (heavily!) yet as for the Christian theology... I used to have faith that, yet what i got here across in the bible and its historic previous and that of the Christian church (reading to tutor Christianity with better precision, James 3:a million) finally directed me to atheism.
