Beg to Differ. Hip hop now has a very expansive roster of artists with staying power.

The genre is now filled with very creative out of the box thinking artists new and established like Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Future, Rick Ross, Wale, Kanye West, Homie Quan and you can even add Nicki Minaj.

I admittedly stop listening to urban radio after the endless run of auto tuned tracks of years back. ... and now I think rap music has found its place again much like how EDM has its place.

The Beat and 99 Jamz have started a radio war that will last for years. We as listeners are fortunate in this market to have two stations competing for our ear.
