Is Hip Hop(Rap)dead,done,since 2Pac died?

I was and have been a fan of hip hop my whole life but to me since the late 90's early 2000's there has not been good music out.It is all about I got money and women.Not to mention the horrible songs hip hop is making for dance clubs(hey bay-bay).All have become unoriginal to me and got me moving to alternative music for orginality..I guess it circles around,but Hip Hop def. misses 2pac(the greatest.)A true lyricist.What do you think?

Is Hip Hop(Rap)dead,done,since 2Pac died?myspace code

hip hop definetly took a blow when Pac died %26amp; right now is pretty much in shambles....as u said all tha club stuff is tha only stuff that seems 2 matter.......tha industry is all messed up %26amp; tha fans are partly to blame cuz there tha ones requesting this garbage singles %26amp; buyin those garbage albums.......................but no it's far from done....there's alot of good hip-hop left %26amp; still being made but no1 buys those albums....thats how u know hip-hop is dying but tha facts that these artists are still here show it's not totally dead...here's just a short list of lyricists still in tha rap game

Jay-Z

NaS

Common

Talib Kweli

Kanye West

Ghostface Killah

Freeway

Beanie Sigel

Mos Def

Wu-Tang Clan

Chamillionaire (I bet ur surprised but CHECK HIM OUT)

Eminem

Is Hip Hop(Rap)dead,done,since 2Pac died?love myspace myspace.comno, hip hop rap do not go downhill because 2 pac is dead hip hop is still go on now. hip hop will be the same the next year Report It


Yes, hip-hop.rap went downhill after Tupac left the scene.

Is Tupac dead ? Hmmmmm....one wonders
hip hop died long time ago.
no i dont think hip hop died...%26amp;%26amp; i dont think 2pac died either?

hm idk i may be wrong?
no,,hip hop became better,,bcos of ppl like lil wayne,kanye west,50 cent and so on,,if u noticed in the time of 2pac all the new hip hop artist were not recognised,itz bcos of the death 2pac,all these new artist came up and reshaped hip hop,,thats why i think hip hop aint dead.
No hip hop is not dead. Pac was not the definition of hip hop when he was alive. Yea he was good but the greatest? I don't think so. Hip hop was here before him and guess what? It's here after him too. And Do you really think that there weren't wack artist back in Pac's time? Think again. And as for your concern with the music out today, as punkass would say, The hip hop out today doesn't suck, you suck at listening to good hip hop.
He Wasnt The Only One Who Helped Change The Game. And Hip Hop Didnt Die. NEVER! U See Wu Tang Came Back Clean With Their New Album? And Wu Tang Is Here Forever. A Few Others Coming Out With New Sh*t Too. Blossom U Get Thumbs Down.
I have to agree with JRob. Hip Hop is far from dead and nobody was even asking the question until Nas brought it up and the Government tried to get rid of it by blaming Hip Hop for every negative thing that happens in the world. I think Nas helped though because once folks heard that, they worked harder on their music, kinda of like when a rapper responds to a diss record, they usually try to come with there best work. I feel folks always fall back to BIG and Pac as rap references, when like was said earlier, Hip Hop was great before and after them. To many folks hang from BIG and Pac and refer to them as the best (which I still disagree with, but I can't change anyone's opinion). I think rapper sometimes need to put more effort into their music, but at the end of the day Hip Hop is dead and I pray to God that it never will.

New Hip-hop better?

Do you think that the new hip hop songs were better than back in the 80's and 90's? NWA, Tupac, Biggie, etc... they were considered godfathers of hip-hop and now we got these young artist with weird azz dance moves and repeated lyrics. NWA didnt have dance moves and they were better than Soulja Fag. You think new hip-hop was better than the 80-90's?

New Hip-hop better?myspace quizzes

hellllsssss no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these "rappers" these days talk about nothing!!!!!!!!!!!! its soooo frustrating sometimes. i dont even listen 2 the radio nemore.

New Hip-hop better?funny myspace myspace.com

hell no
I can't call it I love the old school but I love the new chit too we have a alot 0f wack people bu they did too

vaniila ice

mc hammer

fat boys

craig mack

alot more I forgot about they weren't perfect
"NWA didnt have dance moves"

correct me if im wrong, but isnt dancing a part of hip hop?there have always been dance records out, its just that alot of times they had thought provoking lyrics within the song, not just somethin to go with the dance
What kinda dumb question was that of course old skool is better than new skool they were the originators of hip-hop and you didnt have any of those lame rappers back den.

Now you got PLIES, Mike jones , yung bird what kinda crap music is this.
90's was the best more raw its kinda too popy right now with all these new dance moves comin
new hip hop sucks but old school was the best by far
i agree that overall rap back then was better, but check out rappers like ghostface killah, clipse, and madvillain. They arnt popular or on the radio, but they are really really good, their lyrics actually have meaning.
New hip-hop is not hip-hop. This **** that is being spewed out today is just embarrassing. Soulja Boy is a good example, "Pop" beat, with absolutely horrible lyrics. The stuff out there in the hip-hop section today doesnt compare in the least with the stuff of Tupac, Rakim, Dr. Dre, or even Eminem, Jay-Z, and Nas. So to say that new hip-hop is better is like saying new coke was better that coke classic.
You must be out of your mind!!!!
Better Back In The Day Now Days Hip Hop Is ******...But There Still Are A Couple Of Good Rappers....If You Wanna Hear A Good Lyricist Listen To Papoose
What kind of stupid asss question is that ??? Old school rap hip hop is much better then the shyt they call it today. Old rap like Coolio and Immortal technique and tupac has nothing on puzzy *** lil whyne or whatever the hell he calls himself, yes even 50 centzz. He gayyy, i dont care how many times he got shot, clearly it affecting his stupid asss head cause his rhymes are like the shyt we hear in Barney. Kanye is another cocky sonss of dawg. His lyrics are aitte i must admit.. but after that car crash he thinks he's the fuking reincarnation of jesus... Even jesus wasn't cocky about what he could do......

He needs to take a chill pilll
Albums recently have been terrible, the last albums i have heard that could even stand a chance against old school are

The Doctor's Advocate - The Game

King - T.I

I don't think hip hop will ever be the same though, let's just hope NaS and Jay-z still have plenty more books of rhymes eh?

well Jay-z/Biggie......XD

BUT there are still a few good lyricists around besides jay-z and nas......papoose, lloyd banks ummmm that's about it really -_-
my personal favorite era would be the early 90s. overall i think people tend to gravitate to whatever era they were in high school for.

overall i feel bad for kids today becuase there is much less balance and diversity among mainstream hip hop. but then again they have choices that i didn't growing up, being able to find artists online and use the internet as a tool to get new stuff to listen to.
Name four rappers from after 99 that will be around by next March.

If hip hop really does encourage violence and misogyny?

Does that mean that all the murderers and rapists in prison right now should have their sentences overturned on the grounds of diminished responsibility if they can prove they've listened to hip hop before they commited their crime?

I'm asking because I seem to get plenty of haters answering (not properly though) my questions about hip hop. So, I want to know, if you honestly believe that hip hop encourages violence, does that make the perpetrators of the crime innocent?

If hip hop really does encourage violence and misogyny?blocked myspace

good question i still don't get why people say that. do they think terrorists listen to Nas then go blowing people up, or maybe the police officers that beat up Rodney king just listened to some 2Pac. its crazy.

Hip Hop does not encourage violence. end of

If hip hop really does encourage violence and misogyny?girl myspace myspace.com

Hahaha you tell 'em Bonnie! Great question.
Encourages violence? no. i've yet to hear a song that says "it's cool to shoot the block up" or "youshould go catch a body today". i can't even recall a hip-hop song that says "i LIKE to kill"

Reflect violence? YES. as it reflects all the other all-to-common problems in poor communities. I am no psychic, but I believe that with the decrease of poverty and injustice, will come the decrease in violence.
I have listened to the type of songs to which you refer, have not felt the need to go out and rape or murder anyone as a result of this, have grown up to be a responsible, normal member of the public.

So, no. I don't believe they can claim anyhting more than being degenerate pieces of human waste, who, after perpetrating vile acts, got what they deserved.
Great Question and I like So-Since's answer.

I have been listening to 2 live crew and snoop since i was in elementary and i have never wanted to go out kill someone or slap a woman because a song says so.

If the gov't put money into the neighborhoods and improve the economy and the well being of the people who live in those situations and teach people that through hard work comes rewards then the US would be a better place. Rapping about the slums and killing in the streets would be an afterthought but the US is more interested in other stuff than their people dying in the streets.

Hip Hop is not to blame for anything because what a person says into a microphone has no bearing on what stupid people go out and do.

When Oprah and al Sharpton turned on hip hop and not Don Imus they made their own people the scapegoat and not the person(Imus) repsponsible for his actions. To blame hip hop for individual's actions is basically doing the same thing in my opinion.
I love hip hop especially gangsta rap and listen to it all the time. But never once have I listened to NWA, or Dre, or the Game, or anyone else and thought, "you know what? I think I want to kill somebody today!!" Hip hop is so big and I think they're using that as an excuse to try and throw hip hop under a bus. They want the youth to stop listening to it. But as long as rappers keep rapping I'm gonna keep listenin'. Thats just my opinion.
As someone who doesn't like rap or hip hop I wouldn't goes as far as saying it makes people crazy enough to murder someone. In America today we have a serious issue on our hands wanting to blame someone or something other than ourselves for horrific crimes. No I don't think rap, rock, video games, movies, and t.v. drive us to do things we shouldn't. Its the individuals who are to blame not big industries. BY THE WAY RAP SUCKS!!!
WHOA.............you know what I think so I am only gonna say that people do what they want.......no matter what...stop looking at other reasons to place blame EXCEPT on the person that did the crime. Life has choices, and either you are gonna choose the right ones or the wrong ones... so take your pick.

Although you are the only one who will have to live with the consequences, you need to realize there are others who will also suffer behind what you have DECIDED to do...people need to think before they act cause its a lot of useless crimec being committed....hip hop has nothing to do with a person choice to encourage violence...
i've said time and time again that hip hop is used as a scapegoat for bad parenting. Some hip hop songs emulate violence but not all....it's our job as parents to educate children the difference between actuality and entertainment. People are so quick to pass the buck when it comes to social awareness issues....I like artists like Eminem...does that mean i'm going to throw my boyfriend in a trunk and drive off a cliff with him??? of course not.... i think young minds are impressionable and that carries thru into the adult life if they have no one to turn to, to give them the guidance and survival skills they need in life. The average "vilonce" induced hip hop song is penned by an artist who had a tough up bringing, so they felt that was their only outlet.... I think it's ridiculous when all these Bill O'Reily/Don Imus type people get on air saying that all hip hop is about is sex, money, cars, degrading women...these oh so intellectually aware people debate hip hop no differently than the average Y!A RHH hater....I don't think anyones sentences would be over turned, because even if u say ur sister made u commit the crime...u are still going to jail....at the end of the day people will try to debate the fact that hip hop has made their client do "bad things"...but fortunately most jurors and judges dont let that weigh too heavy on their decision of guilt in a case.
Hip Hop itself has nothing to do with violence and misogyny. SOME extremist hip hop artists talk trashy in their songs, encouraging racism (X-Clan), riots and fights (Three 6 Mafia's "Tear the club up", Lil' Jon's crunk **** "bust a ***** head") and misogyny (Too $hort's "biaatch" Eminem's "Kim"). But they can't compromise the whole hip hop culture, or rap music. Rap is basically a reflection of human's life, our emotions, fears, joys, our pains, dreams, wishes and pleasures.

Like others said, people should THINK before ACT because it's a DECISION. A music can't make nobody mess around.

Only weak-minded people would do some ish because some music said so. Others might act smart-*** and act loony or say that it was some music that did they do the mess.
Yes it does encourage violence. same with video games.

it depends how person absorbs it in. Iv been listening to gangsta rap since I was young and used it positively.

but some go rob and kill people.
^^^what is he talking about?(prodgen)smh

Robbing and all these things that supposedly cause these ppl to do these things have been around for ages...Cant start blaming urban societial ills on hip hop thats only been around for 30 to 40 years...Stop playing its a big deal now because folk that dont understand hip hop has kids that glorify everything they see...Y because they think its cool...It always works that way...Its okay long as "Josh" isnt listening to it. Lil Josh gets in trouble tryna be "gangsta" and now hip hop music is a bad influence...smh lmao
I grew up listening hip hop and ragga/bashment. I also grew up watching a lot of action movies. It has an effect on peoples behaviour it is not the root cause though. just like the effect the fashion industy and media has on young girls and females self esteem. We must be careful what we expose ourselves too.
Hip Hop is used as an excuse. Im sure all people that commit crimes do not like hip hop. I saw Snoop dog say the other day no one ever writes about all the good things hip hop artists do but only can comment on the bad..and that is true. I have listened to hip hop since the first rap song came out and have never been violent or commited a crime. Society never look at the person and what they have done..always wanna point blame..oh its hip hop,...oh they watched Kill Bill..oh they played some video game. People need to open their eyes to the real problems.

Do you think Hip Hop has lost it's "Culture?"?

Let me explain what I mean. Back in the day (mid 80's - mid 90's), Hip Hop wasn't just a music form, but a culture, which obviously included the main elements: B-boying, Graffiti, MCing, DJing etc.. but there was also a since of the culture within urban communities. Being "Afrocentric" in fashion and attitude etc.. was very popular during this time which is why you saw a lot of people wearing madallions, growing dreads etc.. in the early 90's.

Now, it seems like because Hip Hop has crossed over, it's become more "corporate" and all about money and crossing over to a pop audience.

So, do you think Hip Hop has lost that whole "culture" mentality and sold out? Or do you still look at modern day Hip Hop as a culture?

For me personally, I'm not feeling like it's a culture anymore.

Do you think Hip Hop has lost it's "Culture?"?real world myspace

No I just think with the changing of time so does things around it and Hip Hop has change and is a ever changing industry....

Do you think Hip Hop has lost it's "Culture?"?myspace top myspace.com

Nah, I still think it's the words of the people
absolutely. hip-hop used to actually be decent. now its just a bunch of black guys screaming.
It can't lose what it never had.
I agree. Hip Hop is to what Yuppie was to rich young white men in the early 80s. Getting as rich as possible, no matter how crappily you do it. I think I gave up on hip hop when "A Bay Bay" came out. WTF? Whats does Bay Bay mean? I listen to Funk nowadays
in a sense ya i think your right back in the day it was about partys, havin fun, chillin, and talkin about hard times

now alot of it is money, sex, drugs, and the whole livin large lifestyle

i mean ya they did sing about that back in the day to but not just about that

i get what you mean finding hip hop music that has more meaning then livin large lifestyle is hard to find these days
I do agree with that statement. It's all about portraying a stupid "as long as the radio stations will play it image" and that's why a lot of it sounds the same now. It's like if you wanna sell you gotta sell out. Feel me?
yes, its garbage now, just the same, ***** *****, hoe, same beat, yawn...
the hip hop culture is universal, it exists worldwide in all kinds of neighborhoods, not just the inner cities or "urban" communites of the United States...ppl are still "afrocentric" in fashion in attitude today, it has just evolved from years ago when some of u were young...but then again, i still see people wearing medallions and growing dreads today
I agree, it used to be "for the people" and now it's like it's "for the record companies" [to get richer]. It has definitely lost it's culture aspect and have become more corporate, but I think that is with a lot of things that blow up and become marketable. I'm not mad at the genre for blowing up, I just wish they could have kept the "quality" and stayed true to Hip Hop's roots, in the process.
Its what you want it to be, it is what you ware willing to pay for. You, as a consumer make it what it is. If you support the realer rappers out there, they will flourish... or if you buy soulja boys ringtone... you get the idea
no i don't think hip hop lost its culture

HIp Hop Moves?

my mom wont let me take hip hop. its a flat out no, so dont even suggest talking to my mom, but the point is, im going to a dance party in 2 weeks and need 2 now how to do some hip hop moves. any websites (that i dont need 2 download or buy nething, or sign up 4) would b greatly apreciated!

HIp Hop Moves?cool myspace

here u go i searched it just for u

HIp Hop Moves?blocked myspace myspace.com

If you have comcast cable on demand then go to MTV and there is a category called Dance Moves and they are all bout teaching hip hop moves and im sure there are websites for that just google it .
Hey you...

not sure you can learn to really do hip hop like the best :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW5RFENVI...

Just nod your head and lean back once in a while...

Good luck
watch save the last dance
youtube.com its da best just type in any dance u want to learn

people usually do it pretty good in there...

ex. 2 step, pop lock and drop it, walk it out, lean with it, soulja boy....etc.
You should watch these movies:

- Step Up

- Stomp The Yard

- Save The Last Dance

- Take the Lead ( possible choice to watch)

- Honey

GOOD LUCK
you could try you tube,and enter breakdancing, or hiphop dance
The best thing to do is lock your self in a room with your ipod or mp3 player on blast. Get in front of the mirror and do what you do until you feel comfortable. Its about having fun don't stress about it. Odds are that everyone at that party will be on the same level as you.
i just watch a ton of music videos and take their moves. i know some guys that are insane at dancing. All they did was watch music videos and stuff. they memorized the stepping from Stomp the Yard just by watching it a bunch.
you tube
well how old are you? I would suggest that if "momma don't know won't even hurt her". But if you are under the age of 17 then I think that you should work with an agreement with your mother.
Best way I learned was to watch videos and practice practice practice. Get videos off the net, mtv, vh1, stuff like that.
that really stinks that you're not allowed to take hip-hop... but I guess thats in your best interest anyway since many hip hop classes are taught by soccer moms/ fitness instructors and they don't really keep up with hip hop dances, etc-- so they would just mess you up in the long run...

anyway, you should go in your room where no one is there to distract you and make sure there is a large mirror where you can see your body and see what you are doing right/wrong.

Watch some of the vids on YouTube and just practice what they are doing, or if you have a tv in your room, just watch some music vids on BET etc... just remember that practice makes perfect!! oh and HAVE FUN!
it dependz wat u look'n 4
