Has hip hop gotten better or worse over the decades?
It got increasingly better until the mid nineties, where it peaked and started a steep decline that endures to this day.

With new technologies come new techniques. The art is the same but the sound definitely changes, now we find tools that we don't understand how to use yet we produce and forget the loose.
The tool has never been understood but it's not a problem in the neighborhood, we go around, drilling and plumbin' the earth, creating farms under scientific dictatorships that bring us linear logic thoughts.
So we replace quickly the schools of thought and bring such line that's about "it works, it doesn't work", "it rhymes, it doesn't rhyme" and so get go thinking binary like for everything and forgetting about the details that are so important for our worldview and mental map.
So what?
Storm, earth and fire, heed my call!
