So is New York rap back? The southerns deaded? Did Skrillex ruin dubstep?
A lot of questions, few answers, but A$AP Rocky seems like the real deal.

SHIT SHIT SHIT.
Spinning their wheels going nowhere fast. The whole thing is old, move on and make a difference in this world, pick up a book, be a parent to your kids, help your people out of this never-ending cycle of poverty and misery.
There's a black president in the white house FFS, aspire to something greater than throwing dice against an alley wall.

- and bitches. can't forget the bitches._niko
- There's a lot of fucked up shit going on in the world but I'm still primarily concerned with drugs, money and bitches myself to be honest.ThePublics

- I mean, a pint, a spliff and some ass at the end of the day is somehow more appealing than pouring over debt crisis dataThePublics
- I used to love h.e.r. now hip hop's boring, stale and old. nothing new being said._niko
- living it and listening to someone rapping about the same old shit are two different things._niko

dead implies that it is no longer alive and originating.
that video has no originating, although the aesthetic could potentially be enjoyable at times

Hip hop is like a mob movie.
It used to be amazing back in the day of the godfather, goodfellas, scarface, bronx tale ect, but now everything that comes out is a re-hashed watered down straight-to-video flick starring Richard Greico.- I beg to differ - Gommora and A Prophet, both made in the last 3 years, are two of the best mob films ever made.ThePublics
- i'll agree but they're few and far between. But they are different the same way city of god was different._niko
- ie not the same old new york mob movie with a bunch of wise guys._niko

this is a bit better, still dumb as hell but sort of funny, can't tell if they're being serious or not but the flow is at least interesting.

Hip hop as an art form - yes, it's probably dead, the same way punk rock is dead. No one is creating anything new. Also Skrillex killed dubstep.
