Rap in its form today? Not just counting people rhyming and poetry? As in the popular music pressed in records etc etc?
Nah man
If we start at counting recorded music only, Rock N Roll was around from 50s til about 2000 where it took a plunge and started losing relevancy yearly
Hip Hop as we know it been around since the late 70s, making it just shy of 40 years old.
Rock N roll was not around pass the 70's you moron
Rock N Roll is shyt like chuck berry, Rock is the 70's and 80's and shyt
That 90's shyt is Alternative lol
Rock N Roll is R&B music
Rock music is shyt like Kiss it's two different genres
Late 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, now 10's that's nearly 5 decades of dominating the youth, no other genre as done that
rock music hasn't been relevant since the 90's and that's alternative rock.
Look at Punk Rock that shyt was like he never existed
rap is still the same, club music, lyric rap, battle rap, dance rap, all that shyt that was in the beginning is here now and isn't going anywhere
Why do you think Run DMC is in the Rock N roll hall of fame, because the name lost its roots and just became a generic term like pop music.
Bill Withers just got inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame, the only solo artist, the rest was trash music like green day lol
R&B is true Rock N roll which is why Bill Withers was inducted because he was a great singer song writer.
