I don't understand the emphasis put on hip hop having to be serious and political.

Your not supposed to take souljah boy serious, its just goofy pop music. Is it insightful? hell no, but its fun to listen to with a group of people.

I think what you are watching on tv isn't as accurate description of what people are listening to as it was in the 90's or beginning of the MTV generation. With the internet,file sharing etc people are listening to a hugely diverse amount of music.

At least we don't have rodney dangerfield and other celebrities making rap albums like they did previously, or, you know...
