Hip-Hop is Dead
Hip-Hop is dead........the wise head said adjusting his dial
Turned it off, grabbed his ILLmatic CD......cracked a smile
Reminisced of past classics, cringed at the current delusion
Of the masses, confusin hip-hop's passing with evolution
Commercial driven distribution of works devoid of spirit
Stereotypical instrumentals drowned with shallow lyrics
Frauds with facades, posing as pioneers of a Lost Art
Ignorant of it's history, to preoccupied with pop charts
And vivid depictions of fiction...........Urbanized warfare
Disrespecting our women, the paraphernalia the wear,
Seems silly and raises a query..............tragicaly derived
...................WHERE WERE YOU THE DAY HIP-HOP DIED?
True a select few display breif resemblances of the past
But the majority unfortunatly often fall short of that class
Am I perverse if a verse from FIFTY don't really move me?
If I fail to concive the creativity in the use of an oozie?
If i'm uninspired by their tired rants of jewels n iced pendants?
Rather be percived as God's Grandson, Nasir Jones descendant
18th Letter advocate..................unfinished Rakim apprentice
Golden Age diciple.......well-learned observer of the vintage
Tracks that so many so called fans misidentify as wack
................Playin my part to bring TRUE HIP-HOP back
I will post the feedback threds in a minute Credz.

**whistles**
an old concept but it still rings true, good vocab and some real witty lines "God's grandson" in particular stood out for me. some good imagery as well, a few multi-esque lines, a few more wouldn't hurt but this a good piece even without them.
keep on posting man. H'n'R.
p.s. reckon you could rep my latest drop? people are walking around with blinkers on in open mic, i swear.

Good shit. I agree almost 100%. I find myself listening to old classic shit instead of the newer bullshit. I don't even listen to the radio. I stopped in 2000. Nice piece although many have made pieces like it.

thight shit bro.and ya're right.don't it seem like hip-hop's dead.agree strongly with ya on 50.he don't have no real message to promot,just clap his mouth...hip-hop today learns kids to disrespect women,do drungs and beat up or kill people.i said shit like this,but in a few songs i wrote,mostly freestyle.who i'm a little dissapointet in is jay;he didn't push out an album like r.doubt,that album was thight as a virgin pu$$y.:)back to you man:noticed in yar other open mics this:have nice wordplay,vocab,good context.ya have yar own style and that's the most important part.keep the shit up!

Man I feel exactly what you're sayin. Been sayin that for a while now. They say that we're just getting old and our taste needs to adjust, I say fuck that. Good shit.
Hook me up with some opinions on mine.

:banghead: that is some of the realest shit ive heard in days about this hip hop industry the rap game is gettin more and more "WATERED"down to a point where its just plain ridiculous
and unmoving but time is drastically changing and were trying to come up with the right potion to stay hot and as long as america buys into that "BUBBLEGUM" image.......(FUCKEN PUSSY'S)
its gon continue at the rate it is.

i liked this whole thing, especially the opener cuz illmatic was ill.. kept steady through the whole thing, with valid points and a nice floe, a few points here n there to make u think, and your right, hip hop is dead, mostly.. too many 'gangsta' bling bling bitches out there, i like the way u hit this topic, please return a critique on this

appreciate all the feedback I got on this one and I'll try to check out everybody post in the next day or so.

this was dope i dunno why i never read it before but i loved it. i wrote something very similar to this just never posted it. prolly a good idea considering yours was much better. everything you brought up was true. and i do feel like real hip hop is dying. hopefully common can ressurrect it again with his new release. i loved this man. i wanted to keep reading.
