It didnt happen all of a sudden. Gradually rap became more comercial and in most cases bad. Over time many rappers retired, some sold out, and new rappers came onto the scene.
After this song. Listen to it
When people realized that they could make big money from rap music if they sold it to the suburbs, it took a turn for the worst.
When Z-Ro got locked up
My dad said about the time everyone wanted to be a gangsta or thug. Around 1996. Maybe a year or two earlier.
i would say when i started hearing people use famous rap verses through out their( not really theirs) intrier song.
When the industry started taking control of the content of hip-hop, therefore creativity is being kept to a minimum.
I think that new songs started getting defined as rap that dont even sound like it. Just my opinion. Songs like Low and Cyclone seem more like Hip-Hop to me.
When the almighty dollar replaced talent, when swearing replaced a creative vocabulary, and when a person's "rep" overtook honour- that's when rap began to suck, and that's why I never listen to it. People claim that rock music is offensive and "dark" but the themes in rap are far darker than anything rock or heavy metal has ever produced.
Rap lost it's roots the day Pac got assasinated.
It was never good in order to get bad.
Same time it took Rock to suck with the Big Hair bands of the 80s.......but there is a Nirvana to everything right?
2003..
Rap will go bad the day that the insane clown posse stops making Cd's
rap didnt turn bad. People took advantage of it and used it as their money machine. Check the artists like panacea, blue scholars, LMNO, Lifesavaz even strange fruit. If thats bad rap then man..were in trouble.
