Answered yes Hip Hop is dead
hip hop started dieing when the top two captains were capped. from that point on hip hop went in a totally different direction more totally different it went from being under the control of the real into under control of the benchwarmers and with corporate america keeping it contained and directly profiting from it it will be exploited to the max te rap itself will catch a bullet -

I say this because it isn't how it used to be back in the day with Run-DMC and all those that paved the way. Now hip hop sounds like a bunch of computer noises and a bunch of guys hollering and shouting out the same thing. (Walk it out) or (Party like a Rockstar). You actually consider that music? It's garbage, straight up. -

I'm a Black guy that was around when Hip Hop and Rap originally started. I'm disgusted with the foolish lyrics and bafoons we now see paraded on BET and other music videos. I wish they would clean up their act, or go away forever! -

I think that in 10 years, some of these rap videos are going to be looked at and laughed at as much as some of the hairspray "metal" bands and some of the trendy pop crap from the '80's are today. It is really just sophomoric nursery rhymes set to a beat (you can't even call it music). Some of the early rap music at least had some substance and cleverness to it, but now it just seems like some idiot reciting simple poetry to an electronically-produced drumbeat, and not much more. It is just bland, lame drivel, and in its present form, it will not last. It is played. And I mean played OUT. -

Answered no Hip hop is not dead
No, I don't think that Hip Hop is dead... it's just regrouping and redefining it's sound. Since the Don Imus slip of the tongue, people linked Hip Hop into the negativity and name calling and now Hip Hop is having to step up to the plate, grow up and become more women friendly and Black friendly by no longer referring to us as a bunch of ‘hos and ‘N’s. Hip Hop will live on, this is the perfect time for the ol' school Hip Hoppers to make comebacks like the old Rockers did this year. -

And there are many people back then and today that wish ROCK would die.
