But rap (hip-hop, that is) has grown so much that it, along with electronic music as a whole, has become the canvas for popular music evolution. The most interesting sounds come from these genres, and hip-hop has become as musical as it is lyrical, which is something nobody ever expected back in the early '90s.
Maybe I should read more of the argument before I sweep in... But whatever, he seems to be on point as usual to me.

yes, maybe you should read more of the argument before a comment. what you posted was predicted in the 90's. and it's only getting worse for hip hop, just like pop punk was the death nail.
you guys need another genre.
in my opinion if your encouraged to comment so strongly.
don't give me that old "hip hop is the new canvas" because that's old and I've already stated why.
if you live in a liberal part of the country then there's more than a chance you can't compete with me and my opinions. I see it first hand. you maybe see a daydream fantasy.
