re: Hip-Hop born 44 years ago, has now overtaken Rock in the U.S

too many people confuse rap with hip hop


hip hop also includes shite like mos def, NERD, The Fugues, shite that white people who like to post on forums like this degrading african americans don't know shite about. you ain't go find anyone more talented than the Fugees

Any derelict can rap

and most do

I love hip hop. I also love classic rock, 80s synth, disco, 90s alternative, funk, pop, EDM, and classical etc etc.

What kind of boring idiot only indulges in and appreciates one kind of music? You only eat burgers and fries every day? No I bet you like some variety. Why isn't your taste in music the same.

That rap shite killing Motown is the real crime

if you mean classic era motown, that is the soul era, it was disco that killed soul

and it was indeed a tragedy. soul perhaps combined emotion and sophistication more successfully than any other music

Name some of them for us

Generic pop and generic rap has killed the mainstream music scene. Labels rather get a decent artist who they autotune and put a simplistic beat behind them then add some catchy lyrics.

All geners have their great bands and artitsts, but it's the labels and managers fricking every thing up

Foo Fighters, Chili Peppers, Beck, Green Day

So you don't listen to bro country then?

What makes you think I would?

Rap and bro country are lyrically the lowest rungs on the musical ladder. There's a reason low IQs are attracted.
