death means gone, no more, deceased, never to return. Rap is far from "dead".

What your saying is rap is too glamorised, theres too much money behind it, theres alot of candy ass bullshit being made due to radio and airtime creating a huge amount of competition.
If rap was "dead" then there would be no need for rappers to sell out, we could simply keep makinbg music for us.

rap is not dead, rap is at a all time high in the way of commercial music success.
