Soulja Boy is a very good example of the decline of hip hop/rap, with his school yard rhymes and 4 word "raps" if you would even call them that. Happily i have seen less and less people listening to his music, real rappers are like Nyle; look him up on youtube he is a true rapper. Anyway alternative has been releasing some good hits lately, Punk goes Crunk was a cover of once popular songs and was pretty sweet cover.
