People who dismiss rap as a genre simply because they have decided it's all worthless just haven't listened to good rap yet, IMO.

On topic: I don't think it's dwindling, it's just, like Rubang pointed out, becoming more hybridized by pop and dance. 'Tis inevitable.

Ok, link me one rap song, whichever you want, and I'll see if I can stand it for more than 15 seconds. So far, no rap song has ever managed to do that

Well if you only listen to ONE rap song, listen to "Pimps in Time."  It's by me and my partner in rhyme.  It's the greatest story ever told, and it's educational.

But I don't start rapping for about 18 seconds, so start your counting from there and see if you stand it for more than 33 seconds.
