I still listen to a bit of the hip-hop, but by and large I tend to keep my interests in older material. I think the tricky thing these days is finding an artist who uses the current technology to enhance what's already there, instead of going overboard on production and then just throwing some lyrics together.

meh not everyone is deep into the world's problems and knowledgeable about it

People that say they don't listen to rap because of the lyrics the same argument could be said for whatever music they are listening to. Each genre has artists that don't go into very deep lyrical content.\

Most rappers write songs about things that they know or that's around their immediate self. There are a few that like to be creative and do some story-telling but most mainly rap about where they live and how proud they are that they made it out of where they came from. So if you can't relate the how they used to live or how they are living now then you won't like a majority of their lyrical content.

For example , I really like Maino's Debut album because he basically goes through and gives you a story about his life over all of the tracks. He actually starts the album with the first track talking about the end and then on the next track he goes and starts from the beginning.

It's hard to give one generalized statement about where Hip-Hop is today. Of course, the majority of people hear the Top 40 "hip-hop" and that's where most generalizations come from. But there's so many artists out today that are very good at what they do, and keep Hip-Hop alive. (i.e. P.O.S., Dessa, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Del The Funky Homosapien, Slug [of Atmosphere], Murs, etc)

There's a lot of GREAT Hip-Hop still being made today. You just have to look for it. Nine times out of ten, it will not be on the radio.

I don't think there is such a thing as a genre with no positive qualities.

With the exception of screamo.

Right now I'm particularly fond of Dangerdoom.
I'd even go against the grain and say it's better than Madvillian.

I'm one of the few that doesn't see why DOOM is so great.
He bores the shit out of me.
