So the underground rap scene is still alive and kicking. But to mainstream America, Rap is basically Dead. I just had 4-5 people tell me the same thing, but at the same time say it is not dead. Compared to how it was in the 90's-lets say...2010 rap is not what it used to be. To actually make a name for your self and make some money you need to be a pop-rap star. Is that accurate?

Rap had more of a message in the 90s than in the 2000s.   2 Pac strived for change in some of his songs (hell he even had a changes song).  Sure he had his "hardcore" songs but at least most of his songs actually had a message.  Rap past 2000+ = fuck sluts and whores, get fucked up, avoid gold diggers, sell out to bitch made songs (aka girl songs),  etc
