I wouldn't go as far to say that HipHop is dead but something is really wrong with the culture when a teenager feels obligated to commit crimes JUST SO he can gain streetcredibility inorder for him/her to feel qualified to become a rapper. That's when you know that those against the culture have gotten the best out of us. I also notice that HipIop lacks love for the black struggle. It seems almost like promoting black on black violence is a norm in HipHop nowadays. Ever since Tupac died, I haven't heard any famous, succesful rapper talk against the system that is killin gus, instead everybody is pretending to be CEO this, corporate that, to fill the pockets of the same white established companies that have been using us for centuries. It seems like making money forself justifies culture-suicide. Even black youth here in Netherlands are calling eachother n***** now. They do this because the rappers have so much influence on them that they wish to emmulate the rappers in all forms.

Hip hop is not dead if anything hip hop is going back to what it used to be in the beginning. Remember the 1st official hip hop video was about partying, dressing silly & having lyrics that don't has no substance. Think about the Sugar Hill Gang rappers delight here's some of the lyrics from that song:

I said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop the rock it

to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

What in the blue hell do that mean???
That song was in '79, The message wasn't made until '82, Rakim didn't come until '87.
So this no dialog having, shake your ass, dress silly music We've been hearing lately is the true essence of hip hop. Hip hop with a message is dead.

I think that hip hop is dead for Nas; because he spoke it into his own life. Then called himself the N word. He`s a dead duck!
