WHO KILLED HIP HOP

I've been hearing for years that hip hop is dead. Do you believe it is? If so, which artist, what song, and/or what event in history killed the industry we know presently?

This whole god damn topic is such a large crock of bullshit that I can't even fathom why people still buy into it's concept.


MUSIC.
IS.
SUBJECTIVE.

Every single element of HipHop has it's place, from Nas to Waka flocka. Hiphop is one of the most livening, thought provoking & generally monumental cultures spurred from music in the history of human-kind. Because of this, hunreds of subset genres have surfaced to compensate for the personality differences invoked by the large number of people within the culture. These vast personality differences were compensated for by the banding together of those like-minded groups, then after years passed these groups evolved into larger subset genres (almost to the point of creating their own genre's themselves, much like the entirety of the "techno" genre) and became essentially big cogs in the winding machine that is HipHop.

There is no "HipHop is dead" bullshit. There's just artists whom you happen to dislike finding fame through facets that mostly are well deserved yet people like you are too closed minded to understand and see talent in places that don't fit into your personal stencil. Think outside of the box.




EDIT: "You" didn't actually mean OP, an existential "you" is implied for personality factor within the readers.

Hip hop is not dead. I think it's just the fact that there's new artiist in the industry that just don't compare to the older days of hip hop. For example, Young Thug.... Fucking hate that dyslexic bitch -...-

The closest there can be to a "real answer" (if you don't consider modern hip-hop to be a real form of hip-hop) is as follows: the executives, record labels, producers, and prison owners (gotta use violent music to keep that crime rate up) promoting these terrible, commercialized artists.
