For a genre that is so young i would hope that, as a whole, it would elevate more by now.
Because it's a form of music based on samplin and combining sounds i wish it would take more influence from some more interesting sources.

In the 90's for a brief while you had a period of really cool positive jazz influenced hip hop, that was really great, and still consumed by the masses. Then for some reason that dissapeared into club and gangster tropes again.

I do have some hope, with ODFWGKTA and various self-aware, hip hop-parodying artists coming up and getting recognition, but as a whole I still think hip hop is incredibly immature and stupid when represented on commercial mediums.

Rap is the music equivalent of reality tv right now.

Hmmm I need to stop you there. I think you mean MAINSTREAM rap is the music equivalent of reality tv.
