Was gonna say this. I said this years ago, but I think the evolution of music in the internet era is going to lead to the most popular artists having wide influences and content with no specialization.
You already see it with artists like Drake and Taylor Swift, they make pop, but can dabble in everything else convincingly.
Its literally impossible for rap to fall off. Its too entrenched in the fabric of Modern Day American Culture.
Saying RAP is falling off is like sayin the NBA is falling off or the NFL is falling off.
It may have peaks and valleys hot seasons and cold seasons, new stars who may not hit the heights of fabled legends, prospects who turn out to be busts etc.
But all in all the machine will forever roll on.
Its a multi billion dollar industry, a multi billion dollar culture, you think shyt like that just disappears overnight cause PGF Nuk aint push no units?

What happened to Rock is slowly happening to Rap. You are seeing the beginning of Rap no longer being the dominant genre in music.
When rock was the age hip hop is now, it was going through the same thing

R&B is an afterthought these days
By making a one dimensional representation of an entire culture to the mainstream it had to end like this. The 4-6 major artists will continue to dominate but hip hop hit it's peak as long as the 808 minstrel music phase won't die. The edge is gone,the rebellious nature of hip hop has become a tested marketing ploy for children to buy into it instead of creating their own.Youth culture as a whole is 100% manufactured,marketed and sold back to a generation of probably the most gulllable batch of humans we've seen.

This is an interesting statistic. There are probably more rappers than singers or bands at this point. There are people that will never leave Hip Hop, and a huge amount to choose from. With streaming its not obvious that Hip Hop fans don't just listen to Hip Hop more than Jazz fans listen to Jazz for example.
It does feel like Hip Hop has less pop appeal than it used to. Less influence on pop culture.
Thats how rock has been for the last 20 plus years.

Stand on it. Only reason you can't enjoy the new "bum ass rappers" is because they aren't the rappers you grew up on. Same ones your parents called "bum ass rappers"
This is why shyt will never change

Breh, this is not a new topic on this board...or even on SOHH.
y'all blamed the south,ringtones,microwave generation, lack of positive messages, blame the glorification of street dudes who happen to rap and their antics etc....and usually spam these threads with a gang of rappers nobody listens to cause they're boring as hell or hoping that one of us will listen to your lil music.
