(Mostly) gone are the days of money rap, "bling bling look at my watch, look at my rims bling bling...." that shit is mostly over now.
There's been an emergence of "grassroots" rappers from the streets talking real street shit and it's been refreshing.

You do you, man. I find nothing "refreshing" about today's rap where it is basically all about crime, killing your enemies, and ****ing bitches. The beats aren't good enough to pull that shit up to any respectable level. Back when Tupac, Snoop, Dre, Biggie, Spice1, Ice Cube, etc...were rapping about the streets, the beats and flow of the music were the driving force and these rappers were well rounded enough to rap about subjects with meaning other than killing a mother****er. Tupac's Do for Love, Dear Mama, and Heaven got a Ghetto were great without being over the top gangster. Nobody can produce like Dre anymore and there are a ton of no talent pieces of shit making money because dumb ****s will buy any music that makes them feel "street."
