I'll actually argue that now is a great time for rap. There are a lot of AWESOME artists out there: Immortal Technique, The ROOTS, Wise Intelligent, Lil B, etc. The only problem is, those guys are underground and have a very political message that mainstream execs do not like.
Rap has been severely filtered over the years and it gives the genre a really bad name. The only "artists" allowed on the radio are people talking about deviance, drugs, money, hos, and consumer products. Rap is still great. Just the REAL artists don't have the avenue to the masses they used to have in the 80's and 90's.
