Mordern hiphop is not only rap . . . step outside the box
Kanye's Heartless is categorised alternative hiphop, check Billboard, I-tunes or any other credible source
The beat that jumps at you is what makes the song hiphop . . . Bizzy Body is a hiphop song, Enter The Place is hiphop too
Just because it's influenced by dancehall doesn't pull it out of hiphop . . . by your own definition all Lil Wayne's Grammys should be returned.

~Sauron~:

They don't!!!
Gambians can't be bovvered with Lil Wayne but they will gyrate their waists to P-Square and Yahooze tunes.

Whatchu talking bout?? 50 and Weezy sell in Europe and Asia
Tell me you're not comparing that to those twins that are outof beats

Pop music stands for "Popular" music. It is a broad categorization of music that covers a broad category of genres. So afro-pop is popular african music. I'm not dissing P-square or anything, all I'm saying is we should put them in the right category so that they are not put in the stable with real hiphop artists.

Of course every genre of music is changing and I'm not resisting change but even though something changes, the fundamentals that make it what it is should not change. I mean our way of life is always changing with developments of technology but we are still human beings.

Hiphop in its true sense is fusion. DJs at the beginning of the art form used to take different records (Jazz, funk, electronica etc) and mash them together to make beats which from the beginning of time was accompanied by the lyrical workings of an MC. As per Kanye, he said himself that he was doing this his current album as a "pop" album with the motive of emulating the legend michael jackson.

What I'm saying is No MC = No Hiphop

Wow ,  quite a long discussion you have here,  back to main concept, youve said it all, we are moving to the age of digital music,  i hope we all realize that.

Artist aint complaining, they are making money,  fine,  and please dont negate Itunes for adding nigerian artist,  my bros and sis,  that will lead to alot of money for them.

I hope all of are aware that Cd sales is ready to fall though ,  considering the effects of cds and the Digital world of music, 

Ipod is cool at least the product they market are cool ,  but their are other hard drives,  out in the global mkt ,  that has other added benefit,  that we'll like.

Ok. So, re-invention is the way to go right?

Kanye West came out with a Pop album and just because he (was) is a rapper it should be termed Hiphop?
There are elements of hiphop music and those artistes Psquare and Tuface's works shouldn't be labeled Hiphop, i don't know about modern Hiphop,
I am sure that if 50 cent drops an rnb album and calls it Nano Age Hiphop you'll start labeling rnb songs Nano hiphop

Dumb!
