The genre was built on the streets son. "Being hard" was one of its foundations.
It isn't about being a commercialised softie though.

1) Yeah, evolving into commercialised garbage.
2) Wrong. It was a medium for the voiceless to be heard. A way to empower black americans and further the afro-centric movement.
3) Oh hip-hop is whatever you want it to be? So if I want it to be grindcore, hip-hop can be grindcore right? Quit trying to appropriate hip-hop, kiddo.
Hip hop is fine.
If you mean mainstream rap that people call "hip-hop"... that's a mess. I mostly blame Future, O.T. Genasis, Fetty Wap and anyone else that 95% studio effects and a drawn out single catchy hook 5% "attempt" at lyrical aptitude.

Hip-hop is a tree with many branches. Deal with it. It's the listeners fault for allowing whatever is on the radio to be on there, not the Artists.
I don't understand why purists like you can't just learn to appreciate at least a part of someone's Art. It's like they say, "Haters will see you walk on water and say it's because you can't swim".

I actually work in professional studios often and I'll tell you right now, that ANY final mix you listen to whether it be Nas, Drake or effin Shakira is about 60% Human and % 40 percent computer. Trust me. You can't fight without the tools that everyone else is using. You want pure music? Go back to vinyl.

Many branches are diseased and detrimental to the tree, hence why we cut them off.
Whilst a large part of the blame goes to the public for allowing crap, it's also the fault of the industry.
"I don't understand why purists like you can't just learn to appreciate at least a part of someone's Art."
Because I prefer a holistic approach to music.

Back when music was sincere and people actually participated in the music scene they listened to.
Diseased? We're talking hip-hop here, which is still a fairly new genre. Gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet... It's still young, let it mature. There's a lot of young cats in the game right now who are skilled and have a big enough following to change that. We are in a hiccup right now, sorta like that age of techno. If it evolves into something new, then let it...
Yeah really, I've actually sat down on live sessions with many underground and on the come-up artists during my internship. I think I would know and I wouldn't take your word for it.
Thanks for the share, but I don't listen to Norwegian Metal nor does that relate to anything were talking about.

New genre?
It's been around the same time as Black Sabbath.
That's hardly "new".
My share proves that there is music that doesn't need to be spruced up with a computer.
