I know for a fact that it's in the media because of the amount of hype and exposure of artists, such as Lady Gaga, receive. Yea, I hear the typical-sounding stuff in stores, other people's cars, etc, but do the songs themselves actually deal with "bad" subject matters?

They do indeed. However, I think your experiences is a good example that many people aren't really aware of it. People really just listen for the beats.
A lot of popular hip hop songs discuss rape and murder in a positive light. It honestly doesn't bother me too much, but I'm so disencitized to it at this point.
