Is gangsta rap dead?

[lowkey]

I was just checking out the top songs on iTunes and every single song on there is completely soft. Earlier I was listening to the radio and every single song on the hiphop station was rnb or hip pop.

I'm not hating on rnb or soft hiphop like drake etc... But this has led me to bieve gangsta rap is on it's last legs and will be dead soon.

What fo y'all think? Will gangsta rap ever be popular like it once was Back in the day let alone a few years back?

[Common]

no it ain't
It's just not that popular anymore

All things are complicated in the world, if you hear or watch a video of lady gaga U will see that, is music is almost a porn, as well Beyonce videos are also almost all enticing, but their songs and videos are always on the top, but gangsta rap continues to suffer discrimination, thats why is not dominate the charts for much long. I thank to (The) Game who put this shit back and continues to keep this shit (gangsta rap) active in the hip hop game.

I have just posting something around those lines my self But no I don't think its dead I think its being suppressed for some reason but Its up to real hip hop fans to digg and find real hip hop artists and buy there music. Its all about finding talent and supporting it.

music doesnt die out
its either not popular or popular

naw it aint dead nipsey hussle and jay rock keepin it alive but the need to drop their albums quick...

[lowkey]

If nipsey and jay rock drop albums they would probably push no more than 100 000 units overall.

Seems like no one but a small select amount of people support gangsta rap.

I can't think of the last gangsta rap album to go platinum.

Back in the 90s g rap was going diamond.

I honestly see hiphop in general drifting towards a more rnb or alternative sound in a few years.

A GANGSTA RAP ALBUM NEVER WENT DIAMOND U NIGGER

[Three29Design]

Gangsta rap isn't really made for the radio or iTunes. It's more underground than chart topping.

[Alessandro aka Midnight Prophet]

Eminem isnt gangsta rap

And Pac only went diamond recently, so it wasn't rlly a diamond album.

BIG I don't know enough about him to say anything, but I'm sure that was recent as well.
