Hip hop don't die, we just age out. Just like in 2006 when Nas said hip hop was dead and battle rap was evolving underground, somewhere out there a whole new movement is on the rise. The OGs of this generation just gotta be ready to congregate with the community and pass the torch to the next generation. Plus there was nothing worse than the ringtone era.

Something about the whole culture was just… Different.

Word....Life
Haa..I threw that shit before I walked in tha ROOM
It actually is hatin’ ass nigga lol
Disco is dead…people don’t make disco songs anymore
Jazz is not dead…while it may not be as commercially relevant there are people who still make Jazz records
As long as artists still make “hip-hop” songs/albums then hip-hop is not dead
So these other arts can die but hiphop is immortal because reasonsIt actually is hatin’ ass nigga lol

Sooo since Sugarhill Gang’s Rappers Delight?? Orrr Run DMC’s Walk This Wat?? Hammer?? Hip-Hop has been “commercially accessible” since people figured out they can make money off it…
In 2025 of you can’t find any hip-hop music you like then it’s prolly more of what @Allah_U_Akbar said and you may have just “aged out” of tha “culture”…but rest assured Hip-Hop is still alive
I DL hip-hop albums damn near every Friday
What year was that?

Hip hop started in the streets, and it's still there to this day. Whoever represents it in the mainstream is doing so under their rules. You're always gonna get that comment, because that's the nature of the culture. If something you heard on the radio made you think hip hop is dead, that's on you. My family helped build this culture... as long as my heart is beating hip hop will remain alive.
