sa-hip-hopHip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music is a music genre developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s which consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing.

For more than a decade now, Hip hop started falling out of its true-religion in the sight of commercialism. Rappers started over modifying hip hop for sellability. Legendary rappers Nas, Jay Z and more have all bitterly expressed their dissatisfaction on this matter. This goes as far as Nas releasing a song titled “Hip Hop Is Dead,” featuring Will.I.Am in 2006.

Hip Hop music continued facing hardship in the face of commercial music and by 2009, Auto-Tune became another mighty challenge to the real hip hop world. Jay Z couldn’t contain his disappointments and went on to rant about this in one of his songs titled Death of Auto-Tune (D.O.A). He went as far as calling out Lil Wayne, and hating on T-Pain for messing the industry up with Auto-Tune.
