I feel like there is a place for all kinds of Hip Hop. I think the main problem we have is that we are given only one example of it. Like before Sugar Hill Gang and the many songs we have come to know and love, hip hop was already a living breathing thing. So comments like Hip Hop is dead kinda takes away from the movement. Now if you ask me there are certain areas in hip hop where lyricism and originality is lost because of the way the game is. People want a gimmick and no character development. People want to stay comfortable instead of making people push the envelope or encouraging others to go to the next level. Now rappers will always exist, but as far as MC's they are few and far between. Everyone nowadays can call themselves a DJ just because they own a dj controller, traktor, or what have you--yet none of them even have the grandest idea about turntablism.... this thread can go on for days.
