| Re: Is Hip Hop Dead?
Yeah Hip Hop is dead, but at the same time, the entire music industry is dead.
Right now, if you turn on your radio, its all about junk-food crunk and hyphie stuff - which is fine by me. I get a kick outta the stuff. It's funny - as a more diverse palette of entertainment is offered to us via the internet, mainstream radio continues to consolidate and offers less and less programming choice.
Yeah, there's good hip-hip poppin', just like there's good indie bands doing their thing and good DJs working a new sound - it's just that nobody outside their respective scenes are paying much attention, and record sales are doomed to be forever slow thanks to our proclivity to download free music. |
