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.

That's it - nailed.
It's really human nature when you've been successful to in some way feel complacent about it, but the really good rappers will understand that apart from them, the world is still poor and the things they take for granted most people would give an arm for.
