LMAO! This guy is opening up a can of worms, but I could agree – slightly! This hype-man says that although artists such as, Drake, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and many others are making great “rap songs” they are NOT hip-hop! Why? “The element of hip-hop left when they started being created on a slow tempo,” said the historical artist. This is the thing, when dealing with hip-hop it’s changed over time – like everything else! Those classics that are stuck in our heads are classics, and can’t be re-made – it has to be new. Hip-Hop is the culture not the music [rap], so I’d say these artists pretty much got things handled. I would reverse it and say that some of these artists – in general – are not making good rap, but has the culture right – hands down. THOUGHTS?! After the jump see who had this to say and then give all of your thoughts!
