Ok, let me take a stab at this one (again, this is just my opinion). Mainstream rap/hip hop music of today is a derivative of an ideology that depicts a lifestyle that many will never obtain. It lacks substance that otherwise would persuade a listener to want to listen to more of the artist's or groups music. Let's face it, most of the music out now all sound the same. There is little to no originality. It's all about the money, jewels, ho's, flashy cribs and whips. There's more to this art-form than conveying messages that inevitably do more negative that positive thiings for society and the hip hop culture itself. Now, back in the day (early 80's to mid 90's) even artist's like Ice Cube (just as an example) came up with songs like "Today Was A Good Day" even as a gangsta rap artist. It's about credible substance in my opinion, and that's what's lacking in this genre nowadays. Holla back.

Content, Content, Content!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a huge fan of that whole jazz hip hop era. I don't know man....why but it seems the more new cats that enter hip hop the more superficial the subject matter. It's all fun to dance to it if that is your thing, But 15 songs of the same thing is a bit much. I also think we need rappers like Soljaboy Tellem.... he allows me to appreciate rappers that always deliver content of a deeper meaning. Like everything that evolves ... I think hip hop is just going through a phrase.

LOL. I hope that was a joke about the rap game needing more rappers like soulja boy and we just couldn't pick up on the sarcasm. Next time, please do not talk about a cd full of the same songs and then say we need more soulja boys. If anything, I have stopped listening to new rap music because of how horrible and how much of a joke he has made the rap game. If you want to talk about content in songs, talk about artist like Lupe Fiasco, Jadakiss, or Nas. Not soulja boy.
the music of this era doesnt teach you anything...people just want to have fun and party in these days, they dont speak on reality. its disneyland in their minds. they are in their own little world haha..
know what i mean

the originality in mainstream Hip Hop has been stripped away in replace of the copy cat, generic songs we hear 2day... the diverse range of artists that talked about everything and anything has been pushed to the "underground"... less receptive radio stations that only come on at night, and u hafta do ur homework to find out when the album's droppin and to know where and when theyre performing... not the way it was when Hip Hop was strong... let different artists write songs that are "out of the box" more and i'll enjoy it again... as of rite now, i enjoy listenin to sports radio.

The reason HipHop has a different sound is a) it's not 1990 anymore, things change. Look at any other genre and how it has changed over the last few decades. b) HipHop is youth driven, and the youth at the moment want fun, energetic music. c) Money. In direct connection with b. The more an artist's target market is in the 12-18 year old range, the more popular they will become and the more money they will make. I'm 28 years old and would NEVER purchase a tshirt or other product just because it had the name of a band/artist/rapper that I liked, but my 12 year old niece, hell yeah she will.

Old School Hip Hop: music hardware, vinyl records, no sampling laws, diverse subject matter and intricate lyricism, no Clear Channel, no radio playlist.
New School Hip Hop: music software, cds and mp3s, strict sampling laws, generic subject matter and basic lyrics, Clear Channel, a radio playlist.
