[QUOTE="Headz_Up"][QUOTE="Tolwan"]I'm so glad the rap fad is starting to die off. Never liked the stuff, actually tend's to give me a headache sometimes. And i often find most of it vulgar or disturbing. And sometimes insulting.

die off....??? It's at it's most popular point right now. Nas says hip hop is dead BECAUSE it is SOO commercialized..Rap is here to stay my friend, it's been around since the early 80's.
And you know once upon a time people hated rock, and called it vulgar, and dismissed it as a "rebellion fad" among teens. It's still going strong years later, is it not? Rap is too radically different from anything else already established to just die off. Now, I agree that some sub-genres of rap will die off, such as snap music, crunk, maybe even hyphy, but they aren't designed for longevity, that's flash in the pan type ish. Just how pop music usually doesn't aim for longevity, they aim for the now, and the green.
Rap may even die off in the mainstream, and I hope it does to an extent, so that us true hip-hop motha****as can take back ourown ish, and keep our songs off their ****ing charts. Hip-Hop wasn't designed to be a marketing scheme, which is why when it's used as such, it sounds so horrible (ie "Shoulda Lean" or "This is Why I'm Hot")
That's exactly how i feel about the forms of music I listen to. Music altogether wasn't made to be a marketing scheme for fame and money.
