I don't know if it's been said explicitly but the new stuff isn't hip hop. It's all pop, not even the same genre so people shouldn't bother defending it as hip hop. If the people like the new stuff that's their business, but it isn't hip hop and therefore can't be defended as such. When I think Hip Hop, I think Illmatic, Biggie & Pac, Mos Def, Gangstarr, Old eminem, Binary Star, Pitch Black, Non Phixion, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Old Kurupt, Old Andre Nickatina and Qwell. I also dig some of Swollen Members shit, yeah some of it blows but when they get real, it's the real deal. I won't go into the new artist I hate because that's bound to anger some people, but for god's sake I don't listen to rap anymore because I try to stay on top of new good music and there's no new good rap or hip hop coming out.
 
Old hip hop IS dead, because it's 2015, not 1995. Wouldn't be very interesting if it wasn't dead. Still some people making awesome music, and some people making shit. Same as it ever was. IMO.
 
Part of what made hiphop die for me was it lost it's connection with turntablism, breakdancing, beatboxing and graffiti. For me, that's what makes the difference between hiphop and rap. Most mainstream rap artists are storytellers and you aren't going to see them in the street doing anything. They rap about it and talk about it but you won't actually see them out there, they are too afraid to anger their overlords, tarnish their brand and lose money. Real hiphop heads will be out there with their crew and a backpack full of spray paint fucking shit up and causing all sorts of chaos and disorder because they don't give a fuck.

You can never expect anything to last for ever, especially music. When you feel something has died, move and remember the good times but it doesn't help to dwell on it. Much like when a person dies.

This is one of the best hip hop lyricists ever IMO, once you get into his style you'll get it. It's poetry
