[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 4458317, member: 584344"] Hip Hop is dead [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] This new style is 'rap.' Hip Hop has more ties to living in the ghetto-- and not glamorizing it, but rather the struggle to get out. That's why I consider TuPac to be half Rap half Hip Hop. In some of his songs, he composed some wonderful sh!t, real hip hop. There's many songs that directly contradict each other. Such as 'Ambitions As A Rider' and 'Changes.' One's about shooting people and the other is about changing for the better. That is a basic allegory for the epic battle of 'Hip Hop' vs. 'Rap.' You have greats like Nas, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli fighting against idiots like D.J. Unk, Solja Boy, and Rick Ross. They're on the complete opposite sides of the spectrum-- but still people swear the latter is Hip Hop. But real Hip Hop is dead. It died when MTV started to feature it. /end [/QUOTE]
