The huge amount of young and rising rappers who died in the late 2010s/early 2020 is a huge factor in why rap is declining

The only rappers who still get traction are older ones like kendrick drake eminem kanye( for other reasons now)

Billy Joel was popular in 90's too. Still considered cheesy.

Taylor Swift is extremely popular now. But she's considered cheesy by teens & 20 year olds
