Is hip-hop on Life-Support, buried alive, or just dead? Is hip-hop dead?
I’m wondering if hip-hop is either on Life-Support, buried alive, or just dead. Is hip-hop dead?

Most rappers in the 21st century rap about money, cars, clothes, women, men, swag, sex, and make up idiotic dances.

I think that most rappers now days just make CLUB BANGERS, I have no problem with club bangers, but these new ones don’t make much sense to me… if a hip-hop artist is gonna make a club banger it has to make sense.

Materialistic rappers get airplay and recognition, but real rappers that have a message get slept on.

Tell me… is it dead? or alive? If its alive, answer me this how many people support TRUE HIP HOP.

* Answer the following questions.

1.) – Is hip-hop dead, buried alive, or on life-support?

2.) – Do most rappers in the 21st century rap about money, cars, clothes, women, men, swag, sex, and make up idiotic dances?

3.) – Do most rappers now days just make CLUB BANGERS?

4.) – Do materialistic rappers get airplay and recognition, but real rappers that have a message get slept on?

5.) – How many of you, or how many people support TRUE Hip-Hop?

Thank you…


hip hop is on life support. There is still a chance that it can be saved, but only if the right artists are there. My answer to all the other questions is…. Lil Wayne is whack, so is soulja boy, fat joe, and basically all the south except ludacris, jeezy, and some others

It’s funny how people look at hip hop like some "sacred" thing.
It’s just a another type of music don’t take it too seriously.
Sphere | Jan 12, 2010


Hip Hop is NOT dead.
? | Jan 12, 2010


1. on life support
2. yes most of them but we still have rappers like lupe kanye jay nas eminem j cole immortal technique
3. most of them
4. depends how strong the message is but you will have a easier time writing about money and drugs….
5. i do biggie pac

1) Alive, but buried underground (minus the select few good mainstream artists like Lupe Fiasco)
2) Most popular rappers.
3) ^
4) Rhetorical?
5) Not sure what you mean by "TRUE Hip-Hop"…what exactly would "FALSE Hip-Hop" be? How is it false?
Azi Haka | Jan 12, 2010


1. It’s very well alive
2. No
3. No.
4. They’re all REAL, ‘Good’ is the better word, and yes.
5. I do.
Dr. Bombay | Jan 12, 2010


hip/hop and rap was dead untill eminem came back!
Angel Crites | Jan 12, 2010


Hip Hop is alive and well and anyone who says otherwise has their head up their ass.

2) "Most rappers in the 21st century rap about money, cars, clothes, women, men, swag, sex, and make up idiotic dances."

And how is that different from Biggie, NWA, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, 2pac, Jay-Z, and countless others?

3.) "Do most rappers now days just make CLUB BANGERS?"

Most club bangers feature rappers. But 99.999% of the new rappers I listen don’t make those type of songs. So no.

4) "Do materialistic rappers get airplay and recognition, but real rappers that have a message get slept on?"

This has always been true. Look up A Tribe Called Quest’s radio play and record sales compared to Sir Mix A Lot and Two Live Crew.

5) "How many of you, or how many people support TRUE Hip-Hop?"

There’s no such thing as true and false hip hop. Just different styles of the same genre.

"They" like to pi..ss me off and said that the music I listen to isn’t punk. How it started was that i said that punks are usually atheist[i forget how that topic started.... yes, its random i know already] and ‘they’ said, "how would you know? you dont listen to punk." and i said "the damned isnt punk?…. the sex pistols aren’t punk? sham 69 isnt punk?" their reply was "no. your only punk when you listen to GG[allin] and black flag. all the bands you listen to are glam rock"

Okay, so to make this short & easy, my question is[even though i kinda already know, but i want this 'certain' person to see what other people think] are these genuine punk-rock bands to you?? are they anywhere close to ‘glam rock’[which i dont like] this is what i listen to:

— Dead Kennedys
— The Adverts
— The Damned
— The Misfits
— The Avengers
— 999
— G.B.H.
— Motorhead[i know this isn't punk.... a little bit but not]
— X-Ray Spex
— The Dead Boys
— The Ramones
— Sid Vicious
— Johnny Thunders[when he was solo he was completely punk and no glam!!]
— The Clash
— Cockney Rejects
— Richard Hell & the Voidoids
— Siouxsie & the Banshees
— The Slits
— The Cure[kinda glam hahah]
— The Smiths
— Television
— **early** Boomtown Rats
— GG Allin
— Black Flag
— The Cramps
— Iggy & the Stooges[a lot of music experts say they were the first influence of 'punk rock' genre]
I cant think of anyone else but I listen to sooooo many.

I am sixteen and I am writing a memoir about my struggles through my parents’ divorce. This part is in January of two years ago, when I was fourteen. This was the first time my parents mentioned a divorce. Tell me if this part of my story is okay. My sister, Haley (9) is also mentioned in this part. Thanks! :)
The holidays ran smoothly, unexpectedly. Not one look from our parents or one snarl, one mention, one fight. Nothing. It was peace.
Until January the eleventh. It had been just three days after Mom, Haley, and I returned from a New Year

How would you handle this?
My husband and I are currently in a financial nightmare. We’re able to pay our bills and cover basic necessities, and that’s about it, since for the past 8 months he’s been either unemployed or under employed (construction industry took a huge hit this past year). My father in law (husband’s step father) is a small business owner, who’s also been struggling. Around August, he decided to shift the focus of his business from residential electrical contracting, to home theatres/audio/visual; something my father in law is not proficient in, but an area where my husband is well skilled. At the time (august), my father in law’s company was over 500K in debt and facing bankruptcy, and he asked my husband for help. I was present for the deal that was set between my husband and father in law, this was what was agreed upon-

Since my husband and I were able to keep our heads above water, and my father in law’s business was having trouble just making payroll, and to bring in revenue he needed to switch gears from electrical (which is tanking faster than the housing market) to home theatres/etc (which was remaining stable), we agreed that my father in law could pay my husband for the work he would do (training, installation, trouble shooting, bids, etc) after payment was received from the customer. Fast forward 6 months later, we haven’t received a single payment, and do to unforseen complications (car troubles, medical bills), when we asked for a measly $1100 to pay our mortgage(versus 22 weeks of 40+ working hrs unpaid) we were denied, and treated pretty poorly, even though because of my husband’s work, the company has been able to pay off $300K in debt in 6 months, and even though this christmas my father & mother in law rewarded themselves with a brand new $3000 TV. Some harsh words got exchanged, and needless to say, my husband is no longer doing any work for my father in law. and we were told, point blank we would "never get" our "f****** money".

I just want to know this- what woul you do in this situation? Of course we’d love to get the money that’s rightfully ours, which realistically is about $18K, we were only looking to receive $10K (do the math, we were giving them an unbelievable deal anyways taking $9/hr when this job pays an average of 20$/hr… because we thought families are supposed to help eachother out) but I really don’t see that happening, and we’re not willing to sue for it. We’d really just like an admission they were wrong, some remorse, and an effort to make right by it, if not in a monetary sense, then some other way. All communication has stopped, and before it did, they showed absolutely no signs of feeling that anything My father in law, his company and my mother in law did was wrong. What would you do? how would you handle this?


I don’t understand why you are not willing to sue? You obviously need to have a talk with them tell them how you feel and point these things out to them.. how it makes you feel unappreciated etc.. but honestly I would have absolutely no problem sueing in this situation.. that is just ridiculous of his so called "parents" and even worse of your MIL to set back and watch it all happen to HER OWN SON! This make’s me sick I would sue the pants off of them for everything they owe you and never look back..

How might these influence your attitude towards God?
Vicar of Dibley
Bruce Almighty
Songs of Praise
Eastenders

I’m meant to write a paragraph each on them saying how they might change my attitude towards God..


i think its a matter of opinion. none of those would change my attitude towards God because my faith is too strong. but thats just me. it depends on the person.

Do your own homework!

The only thing that would change my attitude towards "god" would be credible evidence of his existence.

why are some Americans so clueless and stereotypical?
I’m from India and I’ve been asked, by americans, "Is their electicity in India", "do you ride camels?", "Why do you guys JUST eat curry?", and "why is their so much poverty?"…Why so much negativity yet no question related to the modern culture/society or tradition? India is 1000 years old with many cultures/traditions…21 languages, many arts such as dancing,paintings, architecture, etc…Can’t some of them come up with better questions to ask? Also, I am not stereotypical Americans because I said some and I know a few do know about India, but it seems like the majority is quite clueless about India specifically because I’m not the only Indian who has been asked these questions or other dumb questions, their are many…Also, what the hell is a slurpy because someone asked me if I could make them one…I was confused…India is the second fastest growing economy right now so I would think people wouldn’t ask me these questions…


americans aren not cultured well enough
lu | Jan 12, 2010


Well, I’m an American and India is one of the most beautiful countries, I think. I love other countries and cultures which could be why I know India isn’t all poor and mediocre.

I feel like some Americans think that way because it’s what we see all the time in movies and on tv. We never see the good, beautiful and thriving parts of India. =(

Also, it could be just the location of the u.s. that you’re in.

Or Finally, it could just be that Americans are oblivious to the world around them and only care about themselves..why that is? Who knows..Its just they way they’re raised I guess.. Thinking that America is the place to be. =/ I wish it weren’t that way.
autumnc | Jan 12, 2010


There is always some truths to stereotypes. Being American and having travelled throughout India, yes I have seen areas without electricity and I have seen more poverty in India than I saw travelling through the continent of Africa.

India is very diverse, has rich and poor, so I don’t think you should become offended when we Americans point out you have a major poverty problem (due to severe corruption).
matkaantytto | Jan 12, 2010


When you learn to spell, come talk to Americans.
You don’t know what a SLURPY is and you put AMERICANS DOWN?
Would YOU marry someone of a ‘lower caste’ or is that beneath you? (no pun intended)
Would your father murder your bride if you married a girl from a lower caste?(that is known to happen in India) Wouldn’t marrying a lower caste woman be an embarrassment to your family?
When you clean up your country (so much poverty that our poorest family is rich compared to rich families in your country), come talk to us Americans about OUR country.
I worked with the Indian Navy (they bought the USS Trenton LPD-14, now the INS JALASHVA L-41) and I couldn’t BELIEVE the things they did. Blew their nose in a deep sink with chicken thawing. Washed their SOCKS in the water fountain. Threw used toilet paper in a bucket instead of flushing it down the toilet. The supply officer talked to me like I was a street sweeper until I closed and locked his stateroom door and sat down and told him what was what. I spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy doing logistics, 7 years at a ship yard doing logistics, and 15 years doing logistics with foreign navies before I went to work with the Indian Navy. I had more experience doing logistics than he did and if his attitude didn’t change, I’d get myself transferred and send someone with not 1/2 the experience or capabilities I had and see how he liked it. I told him I didn’t give a rat’s ass what caste he was born into, we don’t have castes in America. I got up, unlocked his door, walked out and got the requirements from his Senior Chief, went back to my office in Portsmouth. Monday when I came back, he acted a whole lot better to me.
So, when YOU PEOPLE clean up YOUR act, then come talk to AMERICANS about THEIR (not THERE) country.

I’m a sucker for Kevin Spacey in American Beauty though. His wry expression when slouching about the house with the remote control car and the delivering of his lines get me every time.

What does this dream mean?
Me and that girl were out in the woods. I had her as a captive since she attacked me one day while I was washing in the river. I was on the run in this fantasy setting forest. She was very beautiful, the problem was she was a deaf-mute and couldn’t converse and I didn’t have any clue what her sign language was. Well one night she fell asleep and then I followed suit in my, then our heads connected when I slumped over and then "BAM" I was instantly in her dream world. There she was in this lush prarie in this very short sexy indian girl outfit playing with a wolf. I approached her and she seemed shocked. Turns out she was a mystic and tough the ways of dream communication by her people. She said normally this type of cummication was reserved for the man she was to marry. But that when she stumbled up me washing up I was looking very "svelte"(I have been using this word a lot so it’s not a surprise she used it.) I then tell her she is looking very sexy in that outfit. She laughs saying I also look good in it. Turns out I was in the same sexy indian girl dress that she was. I will admit in my dreams I had some savage curves. We the proceed to have a tryst out in the praire that was beyond magical.

What do you think of my free verse holocaust poem?
To know anything so unreal could happen to an Innocent race,
To see those Innocent people going through such horrible things,
Starvation, death camps, gas chambers,
Why could anyone do this to have a pure race,
How could you be so pure and steal kill millions of people,
Having such a huge burden on your back,
Would you feel pure,
They hurt many people in their paths,
Not just adults but children,
Children that had no idea what in the world was going on,
People who where once were here and now have passed,
This is a serious matter in history,
Something that can never changed, rewritten,
We can only learn from this mistake and carry on,
We will never forget this,


No i don’t really like it.
