Most mainstream rap music is actually about having lots of money and spending it not wisely. Violence in hip hop is usually more metaphorical and euphemistic these days, as opposed to late 90s early 2000s. I know this because I listen. And nothing you said refuted my previous point, pop music is consistently vapid throughout the decades. Hell, at least violent hip hop in the 90s was reaching above some bubblegum pop nonsense and showing people an American existence they were generally unfamiliar with. AFA Kardashians, these people have also always existed. The royal family, the Olson twins, basically any pop star who was famous without talent (boy, there really are too many to count). I don't agree with you. I don't think anything has fundamentally changed, save perhaps the mediums these people use to reach the masses
