Will hip hop fade away like rock & roll? Or can hip hop survive?

Where did Rock go? I hear it everyday on XM Radio.

Hip Hop will fade away, just like Gregorian Chanting, Orchestral music, etc

Styles in all things change, including music.

I doubt it will go away though it will evolve like everything else. By the way, what happened to rock & roll?

Rock has not faded away - unless your definition of rock is uber-specific to a genre within the larger of umbrella of "rock-&-roll". I play in a cover band that does classic rock to alternative and I play in an all-original band that is kind of a Cow-punk/Rockabilly/Garage Rock mix. Rock is alive and well.

Rock is not gone. We can only hope that hip-hop and the culture that it cultivates fades away sooner rather than later.
