It's hard to give one generalized statement about where Hip-Hop is today. Of course, the majority of people hear the Top 40 "hip-hop" and that's where most generalizations come from. But there's so many artists out today that are very good at what they do, and keep Hip-Hop alive. (i.e. P.O.S., Dessa, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Del The Funky Homosapien, Slug [of Atmosphere], Murs, etc)
There's a lot of GREAT Hip-Hop still being made today. You just have to look for it. Nine times out of ten, it will not be on the radio.
