kos is a great artist

down with rap

up with tech!!!

For the last time marcus this shit isn't tech.

I used to love Puff Daddy and Mase back in 97 when they were actually still cool. Immortal Technique and Biggy are probably the only ones I could stand listening to today.

Glad to hear hip hop is on the decline, the gangsta rap of today fuckin sucks.

I hate that shit with a nuclear capability. I'd rather hear nails scratching a chalk board.

Its declining thanks to the internet

Nothing to do with society

that's something I was thinking about too, and was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the article. I think it's a combo of everything mentioned, however.

Internet helps a genre of music grow to a certain extent, but then there comes that point where it's too accessible and prevalent (which is the case now), showing up on ringtones and so on.

it's also been comodified by big conglomerates who have been pushing those images and crap you see as well. As well as by sell out artists.

Rap has become Tiesto-ified

People forget when rap/ hip-hop had a positive message in their music that brought people together back in the 80's. They had great story tellers like Krs-One,EPMD and MC Lyte. Now a days its more about image. My hate for todays hardcore hip/hop is what got into EDM. The only time I listen to hip-hop is when my daughter is watching mtv or checking what's playing in her mp3 player. All she ever tells is boys act like they're 50 cent at her school. Pretty sad.

BTW: What about NAS as one the top 5...he's probably the best modern day lyricist out there today. He questions if hip hop is dead in his latest album.

To me, hip-hop started it's slow death around 1997..... it's just totally gone downhill for the most part.

The shit that was out there from the early to mid nineties (specifically 1993-1996) is in my opinion, the most creative lyrically and produced, the genre will ever see. I've got over 300+ albums from that era and still listen to them frequently.
