When will mainstream rap die?

Oh god, as quick as possible!\n\nBut seriously, rap grew very strong in our pop music culture (where i assign thw words "pop music" with popular music). It doeasn't mean that the majority of people like mass gansta-rap productions, with mass of jewelery on necks, naked "chicks" and guns/drugs/similar. Those things are breaking the common limits, and are staying on the top only becouse of that. Well, I don't know if many people would call that type of art "beutifull" or "catchy", but surely controversial. However, those things are slowly dying out. The first major step was the ban of the game "25 for Life" in UK, where in this game you were playing as gangsta-type person, killing everyone on your way to revenge.\n\nI hope that people will get bored of controversions, and will want to go to the normal, quite calm life, and start to appriciate things that we really need, and that should we respected.

Definitely rap and hip-hop. Rap is misunderstood these days, thanks to wankstas like 50 Cent.

Because most of the popular stuff now is that rap charp, it's hard for anyone to listen to.  \n\nJust try and listen to some normal music and you love it.

Lloyd Banks went platinum, with over 4 million sold world wide.\n\nYoung Buck also went platinum, selling 2 million world wide. Of course G-Unit no longer has a stranglehold on mainstream rap, so don't expect any of their future cds to be this popular, unless they are truly prolific.

YES!!!...I mean look at rap today, all the talk about, ALL THEY EVER TALK about is guns,sex, and violance. Some rappers even pride themselves over their "gangsta" past lie it were some trophy. They talk about how the media is bringing them down when in fact they themselves are bringing the blackman down with their hate music. Thats right I said hate music, why..? Go to any music store and look for any black rappers album and play it, you'll notice at least one reference to how the "white man" did this to him, 'the white man" did that to him, worse some even claim "the white man" forced him into selling drugs and pimping. Nigger please, I'm black and im sick of rappers today. i used to enjoy rap music back in the old days when the rap was clean yet addictive. Everything the rap industry once stood for is now being destroyed by narrow minded fool who still got their mind in the ghetto eventhough their living in luxury now.

Rap is over-rated. It is too commercialized to make money, and there is no heart in it.

in my opinion, it depends on which kind of hip-hop . i would love to see Aussie hip-hop flourish and make a huge impact around the globe. \ndeviating from the topic, i would love to see rap's demise in the next 2 years, at most.

I don't listen to Rap or Hip Hop music. It's too image driven. The same goes for just about every style of music that is popular now. The music itself often takes a back seat to how the artist looks or behaves. It's a shame too because the music should be about the music. I'm sure there are very talented artist out there who the general public will never be exposed to because a music executive doesn't feel they fit the current image trends.

Rap sucks these days... 50 Cent is such a joke and he's so ugly. All these "lil" guys are retarded and need to think of more original names. "Rappers" these day aren't even rappers... you hear them on pop stations all the time, not the real rap stations. And they just use all the same lyrics and beats as old school, good rappers. Obviously, Biggie and Tu Pac were fine. I also like Ma$e, back when he was doing good music with Puffy.
