You're an idiot. This "Gangsta" era that according you we've just come across, was was initailly sparked hip-hop as we know it. Fads simply cycle back and forth and it's finally made it's way back... But that could never ruin hip-hop. Just because you only see surface/mainstream rap and don't like it doesn't mean the end of rap is near. The end of rap only exists in the mind of kids like you who close yourselfs off to hip-hop in its entirety. Hip-Hop is mainstream, underground, poetry, art, history... I suggest you venture off into some other forms of hip-hop before you completely discount it due to a lack of interest in a very minor part of a much larger whole.
