Yes, rap was around long with a few big songs here and there... like when grunge was mainstream, there were still puffy songs on the radio and such, but now rap fills the Top 40 radio waves. I'm saying, rap will stop dominating soon and the songs that do dominate for the time being will be forgotten in time, just like the rap songs that were big in the 90s, all forgotten. (While Nirvana is still highly regarded as one of the best bands ever.)

Rap is a NOW type of music. A rap song comes, it is big for like 3 months, then it is GONE. A rap songs life is around 6 months, while real music lasts forever.
