Sure sounds always change. Even faster now than ever.
I don't think rap/hiphop is just the "evolution" of rock music into something new. I think it's very different, just as country is also different from rock. it's a different musical form, just as blues is very different from classical. It's possible to have some overlap, but the core genres are very different structurally.
That's why "if you miss rock, just listen to hiphop" really doesn't work for a lot of folks. Most classical music fans won't get into country just because they don't have a local orchestra.
