While 2023 was marked with historic performances by hip-hop royalty at major events, the newer generation struggled to make a dent on the charts. **SNIP** Or as musicologist and historian Zachary Diaz told Newsweek, there has been a "musical gentrification" of hip-hop which has seen corporations and big music labels...
