I don't know if it's a prediction, but it's an interesting thought for sure. I never really considered that, but you're right. Every decade or so there tends to be a need for hip hop to shed its skin and distance itself from what it has been. IE: Young kids coming up and want to be unique from their predecessors. In many ways, "not cursing" would be the most un-hip hop move. But isn't that what rebellion is all about? If you think back there was a time when you'd never imagine any rapper wearing skinny jeans, or singing, or skateboarding, or wearing shirts w/ pictures of cats on them. Etc.
