bruh im just curious as i was a little kid in the early 2000s and late 90s. When I entered HS rap was by far the most popular music among teens my age. I just want to know when the big switch happened, when rap started to become popular among most young people of all ethnic groups.

yeah but in the 1980s and most of the 1990s, rock/metal was still dominant among non-blacks. Like it or not, as soon as cacs started to fukk with rap it immediately became mainstream. Run DMC was crossover but they was not touching guns and roses, metallica, nirvana, whitesnake, etc

When you say mainstream, do you mean "sellout"?
If so I'd say around 1999 was when being a sellout went in full effect.

The year 1998 is recorded as the first year when Hip Hop became the dominant genre so it would be 1998.
