Slightly off topic

Do you think modern hip hop promotes more negative stereotypes than "old school" rap did?

One on hand you have a emerging underground/expiremental scene, while on the other you have more blatantly comical and obscene hip hop then ever before

While in the 90's you had a bigger focus radical politics, now it's more about swag and loose punchlines.

That being said, mainstream hip hop has always had a few main subjects:
inferiority of women
gang life
ass in general

Over 20 years it really hasn't changed a whole lot from sir mix a lots "i like big butts"

Is the pop side of hip hop going to be like country music, where we just hear the same recycled **** from now on?
