I'm in Canada right now. I notice that every other time I get on a bus here, some punk is blasting 50 Cent, Jay Z or Kanye West through his MP3 player.

In my opinion, REAL hip hop that has any substance has long been gone. Despite this, these kids think they're so cool. Rolling Eyes

How much longer will we have to put up with empty commercial hip hop? Very Happy

I give it another 5-6 years.

I remember when Wu-Tang clan, Tupac, Notorious BIG, and all of that got popular when I was in elementary school. At the time, I didn't really like it that much (even though it was much better than today's crap), but I figured it would go away in a matter of time.

It really took a hold where I'm from for some oddball reason, considering there is nothing in any of the lyrics people could identify with. Anyway, after about five years of it I was absolutely sick of it, and strongly disliked that 95% of people thought you were weird if you listened to rock music or some other alternative.

Than throughout all of university, it was the same story. Everyone listened to rap, it was rare to find anyone who was into the music I was into, and every time I went to a bar, club, social event... anything, the main choice of music was always rap. I remember when that song came out by Nelly (It's Getting Hot in Heeerrrererere or whatever), I tried my best to avoid it, but no matter what I still heard it at least five times a day.

I'd be a happy man if rap/hip hop/R&B finally went away.

I'm not sick of hip hop, nor do I want or think it will go away.

I'm much more sick of Blick 182, Cali-punk type bands. God I hate those tw@ts.

If you think hip hop with meaning is gone, you obviously don't listen to anything underground. I'm sick of radio-rap as much as you are, OP, actually I downright hate it now, but there is amazing talent when you turn off the mainstream radio.

All popular music has gone downhill. I'm with SPINOZA on Blink 182. That garbage annoys me more than hip-hop, which also annoys me. Both are derivations of genres that were once great and even shared each other's roots.

And I'm probably the biggest reggae fanatic on this board but I can't find any decent Jamaican reggae made after about 1983.

Hip Hop? I think my Grandmother had one.

Don't like it.

Don't like the gangsta culture and the fact that the music has helped to promote being poor and breaking the law as a good thing to do.

Hip-hop is responsible for chavs and chavettes in the UK. All hip-hop artists should be burned at the stake - white, black, yellow, young and old don't matter. It's not cool to have gold teeth, it's not cool to talk about smacking your biatch about, it's not cool to drive around in a car blaring out subsonic bass that rattles my windows and wooden house, it's just not cool. get over it and move on.

Bring back a folk music revolution.

Whle on the topic of it what the *beep* happened to soul music? Soul used to be good now it just sounds like rap. What the *beep* is R&B as well?

More Motown less bling,
