    enough with the hip-hop vs rap arguments peeps. drake is hip-hop. wayne is hip-hop. wackass soulja boy is hip-hop. just cuz something is wack doesn’t mean some dude at his computer gets to decide if it’s hip-hop or not.

    you might not like it but its still hip-hop. bad hip-hop is still hip-hop.

    We 80′s-90′s dudes are the minority. ask everyone from Russell Simmons down to the 14 year old white girl at the mall, Drake and all these commercial rappers are hip-hop. Trying to say it aint at this point makes you look foolish.

    you want to say its not in its purest form, cool. you want to say it aint like it used to be, cool.

    But stop using that “its not hip-hop” argument because you don’t like something. SMDH

    Just a thought @Pizzo but why not put in a user rating system on big release like this Drake. It’s sparked a big debate and it’s a bout a 65/35 split against the rating/artist/his merits of being classed as hip hop.
    It would be interesting to see what the HHS masses would rate on these albums like Kanye, Jay Z, Drake.

    Just a thought.

    Sorry Dayz, but I agree with The Doorman here. If you want to put hip hop in a million different sub genres you can, but the sub genres still fall under the category of hip hop. Look at a genre like rock n roll. Rock music encompasses everything from Buddy Holly, to Pink Floyd, to Slayer. None of those bands sound remotely similar, despite being different sub genres, they all fall under the broader classification of rock music. If a terrible band like Nickelback comes along, people don’t say “this isn’t even rock music.” They just say it sucks. Does Drake sound like Eric B. & Rakim? No, but neither does El-P, neither does Aesop Rock, neither does Outkast, neither does Kendrick Lamar, the list could obviously go on and on. Just because golden era heads (myself included) don’t like the way a lot of popular hip hop has evolved doesn’t somehow mean it’s of a completely different genre. In the end I guess it’s an argument of semantics, but quality level doesn’t determine the genre. If Drake isn’t hip hop then you can’t call Lauryn Hill’s solo record hip hop, or Phonte’s for that matter. Anyway, jmo.
