Is hip hop dying?

Many people say that Hip Hop is dying. I totally disagree. Hip Hop has grown so much that many hardcore fans tend to hate some of the new ways Hip Hop music branched out. I think the growth of Hip Hop is keeping the art form alive.

If you look at the history of music, you will notice that some art forms have become extinct, such as Blues and Jazz. Then you realize that rock music has stayed with us forever and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to leave us anytime soon. Why is Rock staying with us? Because Rock evolved and branched out like Hip Hop is doing today. You have so many different types of rock music that it’s ridiculous.

So maybe Soulja Boy is selling ringtones and attracting younger artists. I don’t hit Soulja Boy, but should we respect what he’s doing? I think so. Soulja Boy managed to attract a new audience and bring them to the Hip Hop genre. Think of it this way … Soulja Boy brings a new audience for Hip Hop music, making the hip hop community grow bigger. Don’t you think these Soulja Boy fans might end up buying a Jay-Z album, a Nas album, or even YOUR album in the future? Now I know many people who like their music who download ringtones and they may only listen to “Crank Dat” because it is a trend, but I am sure there are many kids who would delve into the genre to listen to more music. . I’m sure you all have ONE artist that interested you in Hip Hop.

Hip hop has gotten to the point where we have people making dance records, automatically tuning in love songs, etc. but so what? Does “Real” Hip Hop Still Exist? Yes. I think getting into the Hip Hop game is A LOT easier than 5 years ago. People often complain that “real” hip hop is no longer for sale, but I think it all depends on your hustle and bustle. If you build your own fan base and create a buzz, you will definitely sign with a label. Labels don’t want to take risks anymore because they DON’T HAVE TO! But guess that? You no longer need to be “magically discovered” by a tag. Now the ball is in your court. I don’t give a fuck what kind of music you make … whether it’s hardcore underground hip hop or if you invented fart music … if you work and push your product, you can easily succeed. I think people spend too much on complaining about the state of hip hop instead of adapting. Face it! Things change and will always change. If you don’t adapt, you will NEVER succeed!
