I have always been more into my rock music but I was really into hip hop at one point in my life. Back in the days, there were a lot of artistic rappers, ones that could be considered lyrical geniuses. Sure, every now and then, they would released a song talking about bitches and money and bling. But nowadays, that seems like all it ever is. Are there actually any decent, proper rappers out there these days that actually make songs about things that are meaningful?

Also, one thing that also bugs me is in every hip hop songs these days, they are saying something along the lines of, "Vegas to New York to Ibiza" etc. They always name places they have been or are going. Its so unoriginal.
