Mezzir great post!
btw hip hop can't be dead. It's just mainstream hip hop that dissolved into mainstream music overall. I think the world finally influenced hip hop. It's hard to hear a hip hop song without hearing a sound that sounds like it used to be in a tacky trance track from 5-10 years ago. I even heard my neighbor play this hip hop song today that LITERALLY sampled the lead synth from Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone." I almost killed her.

The lack of a story. I used to listen to hip-hop to hear stories, about struggles, about systems, about injustice. As soon as it became unrelatable, it lost its way. It was originally a music by the people, for the people. It then become something that signified more than the people could afford, but some how wanted.
Instead of showing the real consequences and the disparity over the behaviour in and towards the slums, it glorified these very desperate survival tactics.
I hate to say it, but the involvement of middle America helped to spur on the decline. Instead of being scared and appalled (to action), middle American glorified the ghetto, and poor, not gangsters. Some how wearing clothes that did not fit, walking with poor posture, and speaking incorrectly proliferated in the suburbs, where they had enough clothing, proper nutrition, and competent education.

and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what That life is hectic
Educate. Empathize. Evolve.
