If your not feeling Immortal Technique, then you don't understand hip-hop. He stands for what hip-hop once was, and what it shall be once again, which is music with a message. This materialistic garbage rap is really depressing to hear. Immortal Technique has been approached by major record executives and asked to sign over, but he denied, citing them as wanting to change up his message. He wasn't having none of that...Whether you agree with him or not, he is the best out there right now...

Not really. Depends what you like. Hip-Hop has evolved. It cannot stay as one thing.

Hip-hop has always been about a message. When is ceases to carry the weight of this message, it just becomes a joke. It is all controlled by the corporate executives who have no reason to allow them to stay on message, so they have them rap about women, money, big fancy cars, and other crap like that. Why do you think that hip-hop is on the decline? Nas is really the only mainstream artist that keeps it real nowadays. The rest are just puppets controlled by corporate America.

They are not always rapping about stuff like that. Rap is not confined to America, there are many English rappers who "keep it real" just as you say. Hip-Hop is not on the decline... If anything, the very opposite.

I wish my internet connection where faster so I could check some of this out. Most of my hip-hop knowledge is older stuff: Snoop-Dogg, NWA, Dr. DRE, Wu-Tang Clan.

I hate, hate, HATE mainstream hip-hop and it has nothing to do with having a hipsterish obsession with underground music or anything, I just hate it like I hate most new country and rock or any artificial saccharine pop masquerading as another genre.

I haven't moved past The roots, A tribe called quest and the RZA but I'm pretty comfortable there.

There's truth to this, but there has always been good hip hop. And even hip hop without a particular 'message' per se is okay with me, but pop just blows.
