I believe a lot of this debate is concerned with your point of view of rap, i think that the people saying hip hop is dead mean that cats like souljah boi and stuff have taken it too far, if their gonna be considered rap and represent an entire music genre, at least pay homage to it by keeping it in it's limits.
What i mean by this is, souljah boi's style is not in the limits of rap itself, classic rap which originated from cats like rakim and such. to do what he's doing and label it rap is disrespectful to the music, he shouldn't be calling his shit rap and giving people that idea about it, that just ruin our image.
