At the end of the day, the people who loved rap have all grown up. They don't bang anymore, they got a two bedroom in the burbs and are worried about getting their kids into the good school.
It has also become clearer in the last few years that there is a break between the mythical "thug life" and the reality of street gangs and their members.
Essentially, rap (especially the more more hardcore "gangsta" and "pimpin" rap) has almost become a parody of itself, and that scares people away. When people don't relate, they don't buy.
