i think you got it all wrong. Rap is only going to go up from here although some of the best labels are struggling (so so, no limit) we will still see them come back stronger than ever. Whats ruining rap is this bullshit put out by Dre and Co thats just eaten up by pop culture (everyones on their jock). Murda Inc is also whack but if they can steal Shyne from Badboy they will reastablish themselves as one of the best labels. Bad Boy is going to explode again with up coming releases of Loon and Black Rob. And cash money is still phat, BIRDMAN
