I would that the internet provided an opportunity for not only different genres in rap to grow but also become mainstream. A good reference to this is OPs metal - the genres within metal are vast and have grown over the years from sabbath/thrash/black into a hundred genres all more nuanced. Hip-hop and rap are similar and it allows for more individuals to find a niche they like.
