I think your getting hip hop and pop music mixed. It seems like right now we have a really huge dance resurgence on mainstream radio, which is why the staples of hip hop(social conscious lyrics or whatever) are non-existant when only looking there.
Because of its form, hip hop is an easy genre to make incredibly simplistic and juvenile music, so i would agree that much of what your basing your opinion on is an embarrassment, no doubt.
