WHAT 1 SONG MADE YOU THINK HIP HIP WAS DEAD, OR KEPT IT ALIVE?

[51and3rd]

I know some think its dead or thought it was dead until you heard a certain song. I never really thought it was dead until I heard Buddens point out everythingthat was wrong with it.

I believe hip hop will never die. You will always have people who are lyrical who are very serious about the game. But most of these new "dance-hop"as I call them are only on the scene because of their appeal to the younger audience and they are only signed because of the money they bring in. But as longas you have serious artists like Nas, Jay-Z, and a lot of underground artists, Hip hop will live. If I had to pick a song though that so called "killedhip-hop" would be Laffy Taffy by D4L.

when nas came back with this... i was like heck yes! i actually went back to buying cd's...

 

[blackmagnus514]

Not for nothing

Made You Look was the raw essence of hip hop to me. Nas took it way back with that one. I could imagine that song being performed in the park

[sherlock foams]

Dead: SMILEZ AND SOUTHSTAR


Alive: Nas "I Know I Can"

 

[akajae]

i never thought it was dead...

i don't consider stuff like Laffy Taffy, Soulja Boy,etc. Hip Hop

 

[equality]

!@# like soulja boy hurricane chris completely killed hip hop....i don't consider them artists anyway so I still think its alive

 

[King of Trash Style]

Death-Laffy Taffy
Brought back to Life-HHID Ironic I Know

 

[itsphillthy]

the whole snap era killed it for me

but last year when Blu & Exile dropped I felt like there was legit new talent coming into the game

now I'm sure there is

 

[you big dummy]

Not necessarily a song, but the Jay and Dame Rocafella breakup and Jay-Z becoming Def Jam pres sent hiphop into a downward spiral imo

[inspektahdeck]

Hip-Hop is not dead. Dudes like Soulja Boy and Lil Jon threw some dirt on it and people have mistaken it for what it used to be. Al we need is someone tocomeback and clean it up.

 

[9th Wonder]

Dead- Love Lockdown
