Long story short my Monster Turbine Copper died and now I have to get a new pair of IEM but I need something with more bass!!! Yes those had some good bass and clarity but I want moar bass!!!:D my budget this time is about $400 and I listen to mostly pop/hip hop/rap with the occasional classical music. Much thanks!

The Sony EX1000+ZO2, JVC FX700, Denon AH-C300(highly recommended if need deep rich punchy bass and huge soundstage) are great bassy yet detailed IEMs.

ie80s would definitely fit the bill.  I'm also looking at the fx700 myself.

Not my ad, promise.
 
I know it sounds ridiculous but they have the most monster bass I've ever heard. I bought a pair 3 years ago for 40 bucks and still going strong and I'm about to pick up a couple backups. I've been trying to find a "legit" set of IE's for at least two years but none of them were better into the $200 range. For $10 they are an absolute steal.

I would personally recommend the Sennheiser IE80s.
 
They really shine with bass-heavy music (hip-hop/rap), and pop sounds great with them. The IE80's detail retrieval isn't amazing at the price point, but the wide soundstage captures classical quite well, too, with great low-end emphasis in orchestral pieces.
 
I also own the Coppers, and for your listening preferences, plus the 'moar bass' clause, I'd say the IE80s will do the trick. You can also tune the bass as you please, and it's surprisingly effective.
 
I bought mine from amazon.de, which will save you a good bit of your $400 budget too.
