this... but then you need to consider the fact that Rap has changed. I don't know how old you are but it sounds like in your time was when hip hop was now on the rise i.e when it was coming out of the slums and young MC's were really hungry to make it and get out, not too mention the time when the drug trade swept over the US especially the East & West Coasts.

My point meaning, most of the rappers around your time had nothing, therefore thats all they could have rapped about: Drugs, hustling, dirty police, murder, gangbanging, jail, beyotches, can't wait to get rich etc. Now that they have it, what sense would it make rapping about being poor and being on the hustle? Would you want to hear Drake rapping about being a rich kid from Canada? This is why "braggadacio" rap disturbs so many "real rap" lovers cuz its out of their time period and not what they were introduced to. This gets quite repetitive and stale though, especially when its in every music video, money flying around n sheit

What bothers me is why Drizzy Drake singing about catching bodies and Officer Ricky rapping about being a coke dealer when he aint. (still fcuk with Ross doe).

Summarizing, Jay-z said it best. (No shots fired)
Jay-Z :"Hov on that new sheit, niggas like how come? Niggas want my old sheit, buy my old album
