i agree, though im talking good hip hop here- not mtv or your local mc battle.
even for the mediocre stuff, you still need some skill.
finding those perfect samples alone can take a long time.
though as i said- to jump on a computer, 'stealing' samples and what not, then writing a hip-hop track isn't that hard. its the good stuff that is.
obvious being the likes of shadow, cinematic orchestra, prefuse etc etc. these guys are mega-talented and are throwing their heart and souls into the MUSIC not just learning how to sample or make catchy loops.
song construction is an artform in itself.
and just as in ANY genre of music, 90% of the stuff out there getting radio play is crap.
you sounding like an old grandpa saying hip-hop aint actual music jaz...
