for me it was when all of that " I drink Crystal and drive a bently" BS started coming out, that really killed the genre for me. that stuff is basically the 90's "hairbands" of the rap genre. I may not be a connoisseur of rap music, but I know talentless crap when I hear it, and thats whats on MTV all the time.

I still like some rap acts like M.I.A, Jurassic five, and other rappers that don't get radio play at all.....I guess I'll still to my darkwave and metal

 

 Hey, you mean 80's hairbands!! Who pretty much lost their jobs when Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains started broke into the music scene (the good ol days!)
