Unfortunately the 'culture' as it is now is people talking about other people incessantly on one youtube video/podcast after the other, drugged up tattoo faced clowns, irrelevant people trying desperately to cling on to past glories rather than moving on in life, nothing interesting or of any worth.

The people doing the 4 core elements mentioned deserve respect for not getting involved in the vacous bullshyt.

I don't think the other elements are dead. But i do feel like back in the days they seemed more integrated to eachother where as now they are all their own seperate thing with rap being the most lucrative and mainstream.

Outside of the few mainstream artists(Cole, Kendrick, etc.) Hip Hop is not being pushed anymore. Record companies aren’t spending money developing talent. They’re pushing these “15 minutes of fame” rappers who have no talent & no real fan base. Their success come from social media trends.
