Is Rap music dead?

[iLLmaticV3]

Rap is nowhere near dead. Mainstream music as a whole is dead(creativity/talent wise, with a few exceptions). If you look for good Hip-Hop it's easy to find, and a good amount of Rap albums released within the last couple years are easily among the best albums of all time. It's pretty much the same case as rock, you can easily say rock is dead, too. But, if you dig deeper and discover the amazing indie bands out there, it'll easily change your view of the current state of the music industry. It's really not as bad as you think it is.
