as much as I'd like to regret it I have to say rap is dead.

Rap from 1995

Rap from 2007:

Yeah I think you know what I mean. Rap today is just people talkin about how much money they have or their jewlery oh yeah and their "hoes".

Rap from the 90's is great but after 2001 rap started to go downhiil.

This is something that is said every few years whenever a particular aspect of music dips in popularity. It will come back, as always, and we will then be assaulted with "Is rock dead?" articles for 6 months or so. It's a cycle.

jamn 94.5 which is the big rap station here in boston has the "back-in-the-day buffet" every friday at about noon or so. they play old school beats from the 80s and early 90s. i love listening because its actually good and sometimes theyre even funny. there was this one song where the guy was rapping about how he still lives with his mom and he couldnt tie his shoes or something. then they also play the awesome tupac and old snoop dogg, dr. dre, grandmaster flash, and all that great stuff.

when my sister listens to it she just doesn't get it cuz she's so  hypnotized by todays retarded rap. she claims the old school stuff isn't even rap. i don't understand where the music industry is going these days.  i mostly listen to rock anyway.

Guys, there's no need to offend people by writing crap like that. Most of you was most likely not around when rap was at its height. You're being childish.

Seriously, this only happens when someone talks about rap. Haters come in here with their two sense. Don't like rap, and you know it's a thread about rap? Keep you ass and you thread pollution out of the damn thread. Rap isn't dead but it's dying. Outside of a few artist none of them can make a complete album. You'll have 16 tracks on the CD and 5 that you can listen to, it's disgusting. I was driving to work this morning and switched CDs three times on a 30 minute drive. It's sad, that's why I stopped buying it.

The good stuff has been "dead" for a while.  TuPac, Snoop, Run DMC, etc.  There are a few diamonds in the sand, though.

For every 10 bad rappers you get one good one, Lupe is a good example of this. His new album and Common's new album should be good.

Your mistaken, its just the rap you picked that is "dead".  I don't like much of the mainstream stuff but the underground stuff is money.

You know, I don't think that's something exclusive to rap either. I bet every other genre of music has alot of bands/singers that true aficionados of those genres would say are just terrible to the same ratio of ones they like.
