The fall of hip hop, what the hell happened?

What the hell happened to hip hop? These days we have the likes of Mims, Akon, TPain, Neyo, Lil Wayne, Diddy, R-Kelly, Dem Franchise Boyz, and pretty much every other pseudo rappers and R&B singers who try in vain to show the world they are hardened "gangsta" rappers or "thugz". The music videos are all the same, either stepping out of a nice car in a nice suit into a fancy club, surrounded by pretty girls, or waving their hands all over the place in front of bouncing cars, laden down with tons of jewelry, or lounging in a nice hotel with pretty girls and spraying drinks all over the place.

That's basically what hip hop has become, nothing but proving you have the women, the cars, the phones, and the jewelry. I hate it. Only a handful of rappers are still worthy of my attention. I'm talking about Common, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, T.I. and a few others.

Other than that I ignore hip hop nowadays, because it doesn't have a meaning anymore. All these new **** rappers killed the genre.

i got into rap when i heard eminem. his songs touched me (and they had a good anger vibe). i later liked 50 cent.

those 2 rappers sang about pain, emotions, how sh1tty the real world is. they were rude but could be role models 4 ppl who understand them (and wont just pop a gun cuz they rap abt it).

now that theyve left, the only hiphop i listen to is fort minor, as mike shinodas lyrics still make sense.

akon trys to act like a thug but he dont even have looks.

i think rap and hiphop is over. it had a good run. ROCK on!!!!!
