Thats true. It took rock 50 years to run its course, into something that wasn't as high quality (Recycled, pop-rock).
Hip-hop is very close to that, but it seems that since it passes onto the 'pop' phase, it only gains strength with the mass market. The simple fact is, most people do not go out and actively pursue 'good' music. They are content with that is being given to them. Its almost as if, hip hop has been on an accelerated time scale.
Record execs will not change the content, because they know their business is over inflated anyways, and any downturn in sales will really hurt them. They know they are pushing crap, but people are buying it, listening to the radio, and watching music videos. They have the power, and they are just saying a big f- you to consumers.
