Mainstream rap is usally just used for hype music or parties. If you want insightful rap listen to artsist like Kendrick, Drake has some good songs mostly about relationships, Eazy E, 2 pac, J cole, Lupe, Kid Cudi
Sick of rap?

I-I don't even know what to say to this. Someone who has been acclaimed as the best rapper ever by many, a living legend in the rap game, who has gone multiple-platinum on many albums, who was the first rapper to win an Academy Award, who went diamond, who has one of the largest fan bases of any musical genre, DIDN'T LAST LONG? I can't even begin to comprehend the ignorance and inaccuracy I've just seen.

About the drugs though, no one told him to go and spend his money on drugs and get addicted. That's his own damn fault. He made a terrible choice that could've been avoided. I've never smoked, popped pills or gotten drunk, because it's a life choice. I've never been on a plane. I die in high altitudes. Also, what mainstream music do I listen to ._.?
I don't *hate* rap, I just hate the people who rap about how their life is so hard and how they worked so hard to get there. Sure, having to write things very often puts on stress, but that's not just for rappers. It puts on stress for any genre. I've seen you freestyle. Yeah, for it to be good requires wordplay and knowledge of the English language, but that's apparently not hard for high school dropouts.

Kendrick is the only ok rapper you posted, you're only supporting the OP's point listing those people.
It depends. It's not perfect. No genre is. But if you're looking for more meaning in the songs, just listen to hip-hop instead. Personally I like some of rap music only a little bit. I don't see anything wrong with wanting beautiful women, lots of money, and all the finer trimmings of life. I think a healthy blend of humility as well as progressive material thought makes for a more complete person. Basically being able to appreciate what you have but also want more. But to each their own

You do realize Eminem got a prescription for sleep medication because he couldn't sleep from touring and working so much, but ended up taking too many and got addicted after his best friend Proof died? Noo, of course you don't, dear.
What's wrong with rapping about how hard your life has been or how much you've worked? First too many rappers rap about b*tches, drugs and money, now you also hate when they're real? Sounds you're just looking for and scraping up any excuse to hate on the genre.
Did you call me a ****ing high school dropout? Are we talking about any genre? No, we're talking about rap, so what is that even have to do with this? Does the fact that it takes lyrical talent to be good in any genre take anything away from rap? Of course not, so why you bringing useless stuff up?

Addiction is just all in the mind. So yeah, it's his fault for getting addicted. But you called me dear, so I guess you can say things are getting serious.
Because their life isn't hard. "Oh boy, I'm tired of touring and making millions, my life is so hard."
No, I'm talking about most rappers that I've heard about. No, but you mentioned how it puts stress on a rapper to think of lyrics. I countered with it puts stress on anyone to think of lyrics. You can't just single that stress to rappers.

1. Yes, it's his fault for taking so many, but it's reasonable to understand why it happened.
2. And you know their life isn't hard how? You clearly see from their music that being rich and famous doesn't automatically make you happy, your life can still be hard.
3. But we're talking about rappers. You're acting like it doesn't take effort to write raps, I was saying it does, it takes a lot.
Well sometimes cursing can be a effective way to show emotions. It just depends how you use it. I just think it's posted to much on the base, which isn't a problem but it seems like people only listen to rap.
You know how annoying you are? Hop off my tits, for real. I don't care for what you have to say.
Yeah, it's reasonable. Never said it wasn't.
Most of these problems that I see that makes their life hard is because of they're stupid choices that resulted in being rich, honestly.
I'm not saying that. Yeah, it takes a lot of effort to write raps. Honestly, if it's a good, well thought out rap, I'd say it probably takes more effort than the music that I listen to. But when every song on the album talks about getting money, etc. then it's not that hard. All I'm saying is, writing lyrics puts stress on everyone, especially when you have to periodically do it.

Of course the majority of the music you hear on the radio will be bad in most genres.
It's all about money, if people keep buying junk they'll keep getting it.
You'll find some of the best artists in underground music, in almost any genre.
