No, there's still an influx of ringtone rappers dropping albums while sadly the underground artists stay underground. If you asked "is real hiphop dying" I would have said yes.
I have to say yes since the majority of fans would argue when i say that someone like Lil Wayne is an example of highly overrated and not as good as many make him out to be.
Yep, there all overrated. Its all the same shit "what it dew son waht it dew, yo, yo, yo, i killed a nigga fo stealin muh crack, yo yo, im a gangsta main i kill da white boy" its over saturated lol its all shit now. I do like older 90s rap, bone thugs, tupacs music I can relate to, stuff like that
i think not. you can't easily get rid of a establish culture like hip hop it may evolve but not totally die, if it fades away it will surely come back again to the next decade or so.
There is a lot of ringtone rappers out,but I'm one of those underground rappers who does his thing regardless. Check Me Out Here
It was a very narrow genre and I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. I don't think it'll ever die in the same way as jazz and blues didn't die; like thise forms it'll mutate into something else leaving a rump of hip hop 'purists' who'll bemoan it's fate. Certainly it's a long time since we received any 'sign me up' requests from hip hop artists.
Most rap is the same old crap with very little innovation or talent involved, and a good majority of the rappers out now have no idea what it means to create something original. It isn't that they aren't talented, it's just that they are derivative. I prefer indie rappers for the most part, but sadly, few of them ever make it big.
