All music goes through a cycle/evolution, but it seems to me that HipHop/Rap are kinda stagnant at the moment. IMO so is country.
I grew up listening to what kids now call "old skool", in fact I still have the "original"
Rap song , Sugarhill Gangs "Rappers Delight" on vinyl (15minutes long). But with all the constant controversy surrounding it, I think its time has come to either change the course its going or simply fade away. It has way to many negative sterotypes involved, and should try to change that, but instead it seems that they are still trying to capitalise on it any way possible.
No. We just need to start appreciating and buying the quality stuff that is out there instead of supporting artists like 50 cent. There is plenty of quality hip hop on the shelves of music stores that gets looked over all the time. I love hip hop, but if I only listened to the stuff on the radio or MTV/BET, I probably wouldn't like it either.
Rap will likely end up like alternative/grunge did in the 90s whereby it gets too mainstream, falls, and then after the fall you are left with a much better product. The stuff coming out right now is such garbage and has been so replayed that it really has nowhere to go but down.
The beat is good, the lyrics irritate me.
I read on yahoo.com that Santa's in malls were being told to stop saying Ho Ho Ho, bc of it's "meaning" & being offensive to women.
The only place I ever hear that word is in rap music. Don't make Santa's stop, make the ill-mannered "artists" stop with that language. And I put quotations around "artist" because it doens't take much to put together a long string of bad words that rhyme. Seriously. I write poetry for crying out loud.
