As for criticisms
-notion that "hip hop is dead" when in fact, it's only getting better
-similarly, associating 90's hip hop with "good", simultaneously assuming newer hip hop is shallower
-Copious consumption in mainstream hip hop.
-Though it has deflated, the "punchline" rap from a couple years ago was ridiculous. Incessant formulaic bs, "he ain't even go to class, beuller".It was bad
-Homophobic attitude still very persuasive, intrinsic in gangster rap.
-Female rappers,though equally talented, are, for no apparent reason, constantly getting ridiculed. Azealia Banks rap's better than a lot of equally successful male artists.
-Hip Hop, and metal (?) are really the only the only genres i can think of as male dominated as hiphop
