Lets compare all the good old rock, to all the good old hip-hop. Who was more popular. THEN, get off Hip-Hop's **** U_U

So your saying rock is better because its more popular? Use demographics to answer your question. I like rap and metal but not the oldies because they're to slow for my liking but it's all a matter of preference but to say out-rightly one form of music is better than another is kind of dumb.

 

[Dragonfly X]

Well...Not entirely better, the fans are definitively cooler though of rock xd

That is in no way factual. It is a complete generalization. You can't just spew random things and claim them as fact. Unless you're a religion.

all these big words coming up im going :hypertobi:

Hip Hop is still very alive... just don't look for it on mtv cos it ain't there for the most part

 

[Hyperion]

Hip Hop will never die.
Its a culture, Rap is just an element that is on rehab...

Rock? Come on now... Stop that nonsense

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Who cares? Hip Hop was never that good to begin with, just look at the name U_U

If that be the case, look at the name of Rock and tell me what images that bring up for ya. :|

Off-topic: I hate that fans of Hip-hop generally hate Rock and vise-versa. It's all a matter of preference, you don't like it, fine. Don't post in a thread about it downing it, just for the means of post-count raising. It'd take you the same amount of time to go to the chatterbox and do the same thing. =/

On-topic: Hip-hop never died. Just like all things in the world and all forms of the world, it changed and adapted to the world it's in now. You can look at it's history and see the numerous changes and time-periods it went through. Social conscious music, Gangsta Rap, Snap music, jerk music, etc. As long as there are still musicians making hip-hop music, it'll never die, just the sub-genre of Hip-hop that you liked might die. :|

They are rappers, Hip Hop will never die.

Emcee's are what Hip Hop is, not Rappers!

 

[Lord of Kaos]

if its not dead

Lil B, soulja boy, and gucci mane are about kill it

Lil B, Soulja Boy, etc = Swag Rap. Newer genre of rap

Gucci mane, T.I., Waka Flocka, Young Jeezy, etc = Trap rap, with parts of Gangsta rap in it.

Just two new sub-genres of a massive genre. Just because you might not like them, it doesn't mean they are "killing" rap. It justs means you don't like that form of rap; there are still 100+ artists out there, with a majority in adifferent branch of rap then those three.

Perhaps you'd do better to say that lyricism in hip-hop is on a decline, rather than the actual artform.

Hip Hop is no where near being dead :/

 

[Punk Hazard]

as far as im concerned, as long as eminem is here, rap is alive

 

[Lord of Kaos]

as far as im concerned, as long as eminem is here, rap is alive

And once the inevitable happens and he dies?

 

[MrSharingan]

And once the inevitable happens and he dies?

legends never die

 

[Lord of Kaos]

legends never die

His spirit and music might not die but the man himself will. It's inevitable. I'm more interested on his views of Hip-hop after Marshall Mathers pass. Will he continue to listen to Eminem or will he adapt and choose newer music by newer artists?

Sidenote: The Way I Am, even 25 To Life, is a better song than that one to me. :shrug:

once emimem dies, someone mght take his place
