That's a narrow view of Hip-Hop and is really a commercialized version of the music. It's sad, but you have to dig and do some research to get to music that fits the essence of the genre.

cincinnati needs to step its game up. we've got Hi-Tek and Czar-Nok, but i'd like to see the young buck Showtime blow up. he's been on a lot of southern slang mixtapes, and did a couple songs with shawty lo and hi tek.

Vegas is really the only one I could see being possible. There are a lot of gangs there and typical inner city issues... the others ones, not so much.

It hasn't yet and it's been going on for a good 36 years or so.

It's too international and has much appeal with different ethnicities to just fade out.
