HIP-HOP will never die! All the main elements of HIP-HOP have been practiced for thousands of years & will continue to be until the end of time. I guess when people say this they are mainly speaking of the wackness of most HIP-HOP music being pumped through the radio waves & into the mainstream, & when thought of in that sense, one could say that all music is dead. In my opinion 90 percent of all new music played in the mainstream is wack no matter what form of style. But regardless if it’s wack or not, it’s still an expression of that particular style.
All elements of HIP-HOP will continue to be practiced. Regardless if by billions or only thousands of us, WE WILL BE HERE FOREVER!!!!
AdSense 336x280I often hear people talk about their own genres saying they’re dead…
"Breaks is dead" is a common one
as is "drum and bass is dead"
etc – i think (as do a lot of people) rather than declaring something dead they should do something about it and make something fresh!
AdSense 336x280Hip-Hop is over saturated with the same old beats, producers, FX….
Innovation is wot is needed..
This ‘T-Pain effect’
people jack off over and so wish to faithfully replicate was done in 2000 by Daft Punk with One More Time (just once I might add) and 2 years earlier by Cher with Believe… So where did it suddenly get the name ‘The T-Pain Effect’????? 
I’ll tell u, it got that name cos it got done to death by him…
Everyone has mashed 50 Cent In Da Club to death too (think I might follow the trend as I havent done a 50c mash yet)
Hip-Hop producers just need to look for inspiration n innovation elsewhere otherwise the vibrancy of the genre will just force people to look back to the good old days when they enjoyed making good tunes… Maybe going retro IS the next step for Hip-Hop..
Who knows
