Rap in general

I don't know why but lately I've been listening to rap of all kinds and I wanna blog about it.
Sadly when you turn on the radio you won't hear alot of depth or meaning in songs today. It's just a dark age that we are passing through today. No rapper since 2009 I would say, has made songs with meaning and has gotten rewarded truly for it. Now that might have been a bad statement since every song has meaning. But there has been to many songs of the same meaning. The whole "Good Life" fantasy of girls money and drugs is what the public craves to hear because it's something most of us don't have. But sometimes the public is fucking stupid for making songs famous. Just because of the catchy hook and mediocre lyrics.
What's bad is everyone is blaming the wrong people in the rise of bad rap or "hip-pop" In my mind Lil Wayne and Drake are not the cause of this. The people themselves are responsible. We can't hate on Lil Wayne when just 4-6 years we were worshipping him for The Carter III. And y'all bash on Drake when he is actually pretty talented with lyrics and singing. But you just gotta know that any song that has to do with love and has a catchy beat.... it's a number one hit. And you can't get mad at the rappers doing this also because they are rapping about what they know. Yes it's a peice of shit and is probably really repetitive... but if y'all would actually listen to the words y'all would catch these things and maybe it could be fixed? And maybe Pitbull would'nt be concidered a human being?
And it's obvious... rap in the late 80's-90's was the best. Not any of the "These are the breaks!" shit. Just voices of rebellion telling stories of their life good or bad. There is some of that still today... you just have to stay away from the radio and search.
Now when it comes to the best rapper... I would say BIG because he made two albums and was compared to Pac who had dozens of records by that time. Now I can totally see an arguement that Pac is best because he was literally the voice of the streets during his reign. So I would say it's BIG, others say Pac, so they should probably be tied.
