Mainstream rap will forever reign. Hip Hop, in my own opinion, died long ago. It died the day 2pac released "Hit em Up". From that point on, beef became "cool and profitable".

As long as suburban kids rebel, rap will exist. Kid have rebelled for decades now... and I don't see it coming to an end. Not to mention with the net, I don't see a "hardrockbattles.com" appearing anytime soon. The day it does appear, I wont be living...
