Anyway, once again, don't tell me you actually took that seriously?

No, they aren't.
Hip hop is the entire subculture that rap emerged from, and that, in turn, rap helped forge.

My god that is an exhaustive introduction. Well done.

This is a genre that I really loved when I was younger and I would like to get enjoy again. But it has changed, evolved I suppose into something that generally doesn't interest me. It seems, and maybe I'm wrong here, that the stories in the songs have deteriorated and the topics are pretty much the same from rapper to rapper. Lots of glorification of pimping (which just cracks me up because this has always been a punchline not a badge of honor), objectification of the female of the species, ostentatious jewelry and lots of gold studded canines (both the tooth and dog).

In short it has left me behind and that is ok. When Run D.M.C., N.W.A., Ice-T, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Ice Cube and others like that became outdated I did too.
