"Hip hop just died this mornin'And she's dead, she's dead"-Nas Hip Hop Is Dead
This is an interview Jeezy had in which he comment on the statement hip hop is dead and i'm on Jeezy's side in the situation.
A lot of people these days constantly make the statement that hip is dead or ask the question where have all the rappers gone and without knowing it are making ignorant statements. To be able to say that hip hop is dead you have to fully understand what it is. Hip Hop represents more of a culture than anything and is a living an breathing movement. Hip hop can change just like a person can and has the power to connect with someone emotionally and mentally. Many people believe that today's rappers put out garbage but what they are doing is changing peoples perceptions of hip hop and even by putting out "garbage" they are causing more conscious rappers to be brought into the game so then we have a mix of different types of artist. An example of that is when Nas made the song and statement that Hip HOp is dead. His song was influenced by the way Hip Hop was going and from his statement more people were influenced to diss him or rap about what he is rapping about. With that said how can a worldwide accepted phenomenon like hip hop truly die or cease to exist? Every time someone says hip hop is dead they are the ones killing it. Saying that something is dead just because its not the same as when you first heard it or used to like it is like saying you don't lie your little sister anymore because she doesn't watch cartoons like she used. People have the power to change and still be themselves and so does hip hop.
