FireWaterBurn believes that hip hop is not dead. Firewater burn believes that times have simply changed, and those who believe that something has died because it isn't played on MTV or popular national radio stations are moronic at best.

This forum seems to attract a lot of morons who like to refer to themselves in the third person.

I agree with dude who said the art representing (or not representing) the culture, and now being about b*tches and money, but at the same time, I think that the reverse also happened...that the culture began to be about b*tches and money. Whether people are actually relating to these messages in the mainstream, or if they're "settling" to be popular, don't these in turn become the message of mainstream culture?

Plus let's be honest, 99% of the people that pay for music on itunes or buy cd's in stores (all 5 of them) are only listening for a good beat and a catchy hook.

yeah i think so, there is still a pretty big disconnect between real and what the stereotype rappers perpetuate. It's more a promoted ideology, that's accepted because it's simplicity and almost-cartoon like qualities, as oppose to say the message of a mainstream culture.

Pop-Country is nearly the same. I don't think most of the audience really relates to small town lifestyle but they still love music bolstering that idea.
