“Rap is pop right now. Q-Tip said, ‘Rap is not pop. If you call it that, then stop.’ Rap was a counterculture that went against pop. But when you have Rihanna singin’ on your records and you’re doin’ records with Katy Perry, that’s no longer rap. It’s pop music, pop using rap delivery. When you hear Lil Wayne sayin’ ‘I got a chopper in the car,’ you go, ‘Yeah, right you do.‘” - Ice T.
I see no lies, but how do you all feel about his quote?
Don't be blamin her. Her early contributions were good. It's not her fault that the people after that decided to manufacture bubblegum and sell it. Fantasy, Breakdown, Honey, and The Roof all are solid hip-hop/R&B songs.
Personally I think Hip Hop is dead. I agree with the comment as well, I never thought I'd see the day where rappers would collab with female popstars on the most cheesy, girly poppy songs.

I wouldn't say hip-hop is "dead" but it def. has been decreasing in terms of quality over the years. I like Snoop but I was disappointed with him when he teamed up with Katy, he also said he would work with Gaga.
