I Feel Bad for You, Son

Salon.com is wondering whether or not hip-hop is “dead.” I’m too busy waiting for this whole “video game thing” to blow over. Kids these days.
Ok, that’s not fair, but I do wonder how Paul Kix got so lost and wrapped up in hype-hyping-hype. If you’ve loved hip-hop for even a few consecutive years, you know that silly trends will come and go. He’s so amazingly laser-focused on the “dances of hip-hop” and Souljah Boy, it’s almost a parody piece.
I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said in the comments section of the original article, but you don’t have to look far to find the less commercial strata of hip-hop. Thanks to new-school stores like Amie Street, I’ve been on a bit of a spree lately. Not all of what I’m buying is hip-hop, but there’s enough new stuff out there to keep me interested. Hell, even the free “VIP” tracks at Beatsource are impressive. Mr. Kix, step away from YouTube and MTV, and get yourself some new records.
Superman dat sto’!!

Hip-Hop is sew dope phat. I still dig it after 25yrs. “Its got a funky beat and I can bug out to it”-”You in my hut NOW!!!
Oh LOL one more thing. Just had a flash back Dancing naked with Nathan Brackett to the wax of the Fat Boys album ROFL (when it cam out, we were young and FREEEE…… not old and desperate *)
hiphop is definitely dead. the most hiphop shit i’ve heard in 2008 is Erykah Badu’s new album, nothing else even comes close. there are some people who still remember hiphop, but not many. indie hiphop sucks now, underground hiphop mostly sucks, and mainstream hiphop is country line dancing. what a big joke.
Whoa there MC Blanket Statement.
“Worst Year For Hip Hop Ever”
