who else out there thinks that rap has become very...poppish?? and how long before you think it will be almost completely gone. i loved rap but i'm not sure if i'm just growing out of it or if it's just sucking in general. all they talk about is grills, girls, and chevy's now.

i guess because i'm not very into the new rap music i don't search for underground music. i used to looove three six mafia, lil wyte, project pat (that whole group-not gunna name them all) webbie, boosie, lil wayne's underground stuff etc. but they've all became so commercial. i still get in my 'crunk' moods haha but other than that i can hardly stand it.

Well definitely the essence of rap is dying in a sence that it's not using the old themes like they use to and i notice there are more rock themes to rap now. Take for example gym class hero's? they use sort of a rock/pop theme to their music. And yet, they call themselves and there genre "Rap".
So yes i believe the source is dying of rap

yeah i agree with you rap is getting very poppish but at the same time that is only one type of rap your talking about that walks about grill,girls and card...there is also this rap called underground...This rap is mostly battle rap that is very good!....it also matters where you live at to because i know that in the south....like,right now our rap is mostly dealing with dances like..."two step" by Jibbs.

i feel the same way...real hip hop is slowly dyin and pretty soon it's jus gonna be...gone. it's gotten to the point where i dont even listen to the hip hop/r&b radio station in my city now because they play the same 10 songs constantly and in those songs they talk about nothin....it's really boring to me now so i find other music to listen to or if i feel like listenin to REAL hip hop, i jus listen some old de la soul or atcq (a tribe called quest) or the roots or some indie or underground stuff...everything else is jus garbage now, party music, not anything to make u think

I never have like rap. I got a shock though. Fin on Law and Order: SVU is a
rapper in real life. I've never heard him.

Yea, it is all very generic, and I rarely find a rap song I like anymore, they all sound the same. I just listen to my old school tupac and dr. dre now.

They don't have anyhting else to talk about. If they talk about politics, religion, world, affairs, love they won't sell. But if they talk about stupid crap like rims, grills, money, hos, cars , it sells.
Very sad what the artform used to be and now it is garbage.

I don't know if it is dying out, but it is really changing. That is why I have more old rap on my iPod than anything new.

rap is the urban version of pop. Hip Hop ( music from people like 2pac,nas etc.) is DEAD. Its sad.

I am not a rap fan so i hope it is dying. Most of it portrays violence,drug,gangs,degrading of women.
