Yeah, rap/hip hop has lost alot of it's creativity. That doesn't mean it's on the decline. Now it's more about style, personally that's part of what I've always loved about it. It's not always about what they're actually saying, alot of it's about how and why they say it. Now it's gotta look good, feel good and sound good. Not so much the lyrics but the skill in rappin' and the showmanship, the hype in it if you will.
