50 Years Later, Is There Anything Left Of Hip Hop?

[Art Barr]

Plus someone please ask the writer of this article what they write?

If he don't respond in four to five letter pronoun.

He a culture thief speaking out of turn as well.

Tired of toys and culture thieves speaking on and about a culture they are and never were a part of.

Hiphop is the only culture. Where some civilian unaffiliated culturally and never having any cultural footprint in a pillar of hiphop. Just gets to take the Tom from the natives during the rain dance ceremony. Plus tell the natives they do not know how to chant for rain as well.

All these writers are Crip Mack level of false flag'n. Except it is not about gangster orgs. It is about anything they can lie.
or fake a false identity about.
Stop listening to these culture thieves.

They are not bboys and not in a pillar of hiphop at all. Nor are they skilled enough in any pillar of the culture of hiphop.
to be making or having the time

to be making social commentary In hiphop. Of which they distinctly are not a part of.


Especially kevin mazur. Who was never no skilled bboy.
on no day of note inany pillar of hiphop cultur ever period.
Stop listening to these culture thief minstrels and c00ns. Rocnation are the sellouts and culture thieves.
that perpetrated why they think an article like this.
needs to be wrote by a toy.


fukk roc nation and any jiggy sellout offshoot from puff and the mca way.
that created the cultural erosion and degradation why we are here..



Hoe ass roc a fella.

nikka unalive ya self.

Give the game away for steep discounts for generations then ask if there's anything left when you're scraping the jar?

I didn’t read the article but Every form of music had its peak and decline, Hiphop is no different

Will read later but the fact that when people talk about "Hip-Hop" they usually never even mind mentionning graffiti break-dancing djing or beatbowing is already telling.

 

[Premeditated]

Ice Spice is a perfect example.
Travis Scott is another one.

If you hear those artists and write them off as some pointless bs, you're not hearing it with the ears of the youth.

This guy doesn't have it, prolly lost it a long time ago.

this is subtle trolling....right?

Especially DJing

DJ Drama's RICO case might have been the beginning of the end

Men of my era sounding like Rev. Calvin Butts and C. Dolores Tucker.

And they were speaking some sense at the time

50 years is a good run

Do yall ever get tired?

Same people making the same points on the same topic almost as if it were a wish. If you didn't predict the direction of music in the past (you didn't), sit back and enjoy the ride.

the difference between now and the past declarations of hip hop being dead is that hip hop is in actual commercial decline

How are you quantifying this? If its the #1 single talking point then once again only pop music/country are viable according to that. Its still the most consumed genre and nothing has eaten into that marketshare yet.

Could there be an impending decline? Sure but this year could simply be a down year due to an accumulation of arrest/death of artist and lack of albums from the top artist. People are putting the cart before the horse.

More morbid than that, a significant portion of the black audience has adopted the white gaze. White acceptance, once anathema, now buys one an enduring credibility with an increasingly aspirational black audience.
