Hip Hop is a fad

at least mainstream hip hop in the suburbs. all people listen to now is crank dat and no other song. I purposely put on an old song in front of my friends and they were like "shut that sh 1t off that crap is old" when they were listenin to that song 2 weeks ago just like crank dat now.

Don't get me wrong I love hip hop, well real hip hop like Pac, big, immortal technique, big l, rakim. I can't stand the sh 1 t in the radio like crank dat and "this is why im hot". yea it's hot now but in a month they'll be listenin to the next sh 1tty radio rap sh 1t.

Hell even my hick teacher is doin the crank dat dance at a pep rally tommorrow.....

I just try to ignore it, because most of those "artists" are one-hit-wonders, they dont do it for hip hop. But they are pretty catchy lol.

Hip hop a fad...tell me something new. Hopefully it dies out soon.Panzer-schreck

OK, I don't listen to the underground stuff, so I can't pass judgment. But honestly, that Souljaboy - Crank Dat, Hurricane Chris - Ay bay bay, and other similar songs are so awful that I wonder how they are popular.

hip hop is not a fad as long as u have rappers like nas, eminem, dr.dre around

Think rap is a fad? You must be mad,

This lyric was writen in '88

You know, I have to agree. Alot of the mainstrem hip hop you hear on the radio and on MTV is...terrible.

hikari33

Does eminem count as hip-hop? I thought there was a difference between rap and hip-hop...or am I mistaken? I like eminem.

i know im by myself on this but i really like that "party like a rockstar" song i find it a:we:somestick_manoncrac

You're not alone. All of those songs kind of fit together. They're getting played constantly, at least in Atlanta. It's crazy. It's catchy which is why. You find yourself mumbling the words and when you hear it on the radio every get's hyped up :lol:. Crank That has been number one on the iTunes store for a while now.

The only decent current hip hop song is A Bay Bay. Solely for the fact that me and my friends have made some inside jokes with it. ;)LOLhahaDEAD

Oh dear god, I hate that song with a passion.

i thought i was alone everyone i knowincluding all my friends hate that song with a passionstick_manoncrac

Well, Party Like A Rockstar is old now, relatively speaking, so I can understand why they hate it. Artists and songs now get played and then they're thrown away. Some might say the quality of music is going down the drain. I think it's the fast pace society we live in, though. Out with the old, in with the new.

have you come to make fun of my punctuation again

i should shoot eveyone who likes A Bay Bay 115 times in the same spot with a paintball gun

there is something your mistaking, hip hop is not a fad, rap is a fad. Real true hip hop will never die, rap is dying, we can see it in record sale trends.

Anything that is played on the radio these days is complete and utter crap. I am one person you dont want to get into a debate with about lil wayne being the greatest of all time, anyone who is claiming wayne to be the GOAT needs their head examined

Not everything on the radio. R&B is still going strong. Sales? Record sales have been declining for a while thanks to file sharing and digital music stores. I don't like Lil Wayne either. He talks like his mouth is stuffed with cotton.

Well I won't talk about how he looks since we only have what we're born with...well sort of..plastic surgery is kind of changing that. Like I said, R&B is still going strong. And there is still some good hi-hop/rap out there. It's just not alone :shock:

Music isn't a fad. Lifestyle is a fad. While I wouldn't call hip-hop a fad, I'd certainly call the ..."acting" a fad. I happen to find it rather sad. You know there is a problem with society when unintelligence and butchering the English language is considered desirable.GettingTired

and that is the problem, the crap gets shoved down your throats and 16 year old white kids eat it up, cuz they go to private schools and mom and dad do everything for them, they want to feel tough, they want to feel street, so they buy this unintelligent garbage passed off for hip hop.

While at the same time there are plenty of unknown underground cats spitting real knowledge and education, music that inspires and makes you open your mind and think, that is what truely pisses me off

And I really hate to say it being a white person, but it was white people that ruined hip hop, when it blew up in the around the turn of the century, 1999 or so, it was white people as the majority buying rap CDs. Truthfully the majority of the white dudes you see all just want to be something they arent, and they just wanna feel gutter, I know so many people that are like that.

Its weird that most white rappers make music black people get behind and the music black people make white people eat up, why cant us krackers get it together and open our minds!

I read that statistic a while back. "70% of hip-hop music-related purchases are made by whites". I find that extremely hard to believe. White people didn't ruin rap. Globalization and marketing did. Rap has gone so global that it's changing constantly. The few originals are being left behind somewhat. You could say the same for all the blacks or asians who listen to rap as well. By marketing I mean things like "Hip-Hop Harry" GOOGLE it.
