At this point is no longer becomes "poetry of the street" and down to earth, it becomes essentially rich people telling the poor how awesome they are and it's awful. People lose interest because it's depressing.

Yeah poverty is still and will always be relevant. Murders, life, will always be relevant.
I will probably never understand what it's like to have an expensive ass car or all of this money. Like Nicki even does it. Talking about all the albums she made and how much better she is.
I think that's a huge problem with rap, and people say it all of the time, but it hasn't really gotten better.
I think to really rap is to be a poet, and to be a poet is to understand the world around you. Not just talk about yourself.
