What happened to Rap / Hip-Hop??? Help me out!?

And I don't want to hear "The Black Eyed Peas" are the new hip hop-STOP THAT! Don't wanna hear "Jay-Z and G-Unit ruined rap!" STOP THAT TOO! I listen to lots and lots of different artists and genres but I've found myself gravitating heavily towards rock music. I've always had a healthy balance of music (mostly rap/hip-hop %26amp; assorted rock) in my life but my last chunk of downloads have been Hawthorne Heights, Flyleaf, Cartel, 30 Seconds to Mars, Panic! At The Disco, 10 Years...see the trend??? The last rap related thing I downloaded was Fort Minor...what do you think?

I hope I don't get flooded w/ some hate-age for this, but pop over to okayplayer.com. You might like those bands/groups if you aren't feeling the booty-bouncing/crunk stuff or BEP. Good luck, man. Rap/HipHop is a diverse as "rock", you'll find something that sparks you. Might take some digging, tho...

Good! Stop listening to crap! It sucks! Those aren't the best rock groups out there but I certainly encourage you to listen to rock.
I feel the same way. Rap/ Hip-Hop is my favorite choice of music, but lately Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Papa Roach, upon other rock artist has been downloaded to my Ipod. I don't think that rap is being corrupted or anything but I just decided to widen my variety of music.
stupid
Over commercialization to the point were creativity is being lost.
rap never died just the flame in some people. and they find that some people like this and it gets played more they have to listen to it to be popular which is unloyal.

no music ever dies never.
I love rap but if you noticed radio stations are only playing "#1's". It might help if you buy CDs or and iPod or something of that sort. I'm gettin tired of da radio so i bought an iPod. If you like rap enough you might like some old school junk like Ice-T OG the original gangsta.
