Yes you have lol, but it is not aimed at rap, but rather all musical genres in general. Anyhow I disagree, I think we hit peak rap back in the early 00's when rap utilized through R&B completely dominated the pop charts, but the landscape of pop music has been changing over the last few years with the ascent of Lady Gaga in other artists. Don't get me wrong, rap is still immensely popular and will be for most likely the next two decades, but I do feel it has hit its peak, and I think time will bear that out.
