PLAIN TEXT Version	Its Time To Let Rap Music Die By [http://www.articlesengine.com/Author/Keishon-Martin/9443/1] Keishon Martin Rap is dying and the Tupac influence on rap music will be the name of this cancer. This stronghold was strengthened by glory and fame that Tupac received from his gangster tales from his music, plus his thug persona in his real life. Which helps every real life non rapping thug idolize and identify with some one loved and respected, but really this trend started to become a problem way before Tupac started rapping. As this started with N.W.A where their tales of drug dealing gangs and murder gave a voice to real thugs every where. But it gets serious here as the popularity grew for N.W.A and they went on to sell lots of records and gain lots of respect and when you grow up in the hood or basically any where that is considered poor, respect is the most important thing because even if you still dont have money you can still have respect and my point is if you dont know how to earn respect in life or music, alot of people just copies the person with the most respect and do what they did to earn the respect they got. They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery but in reality it can be the easiest way to make a dollar, but only to a certain point as you seen people loved tupac for all his tattoos and now you see every up and coming rapper with tattoos, even LIL Wayne has tattoos on his face, so lets all copy that cause Tupac was the greatest and we all want to be the greatest right? Plus he smoked weed all day, so imma smoke weed all day, he was starting music industry conflicts or beefs, and so im gonna start music industry beefs but, the down side to this is that when Tupac was alive there was only one Tupac. So that made him interesting and respected and loved by the real rap fans, but now you have at least 85% of the rappers that are rapping to some sort of degree affected by this negative Tupac influence on there music plus at the same time the music they are recording is mostly bull crap, but trip this, even Jay-Z as of this last year, had to go back and do a drug dealing record because he knows that he has lost the respect that he probably never even had, in an attempt to gain the respect that Tupac had and probably still has. Now the effect that the thug/ drug dealer/ murderer image has on hip hop in regards to sales for the simple fact that in this day and age the actual people that are buying records in america and over seas are not gang members, they are actual hard working people as this style of music is just merely a form of entertainment where the thugs/gangbangers in real life are only 1 percent of the united states population and a majority of these thugs do not buy CDs from out of the stores any way, so why do rappers and record companies produce these types of records still to this day, after countless amounts of artist continue to see a fall in sales. Hip Hop needs to die and when i say that, I mean this current state of hip hop will not make it into the next decade and im talking about the tupac influence on hip hop, where the fans are ready for something new and real and something they can relate to because for every rapper to have had killed somebody, been shot, sold drugs, and have smoked and/or drunken drugs is stupid and needs to be laid to rest, before it affects any one else.
