I think that's a broad overgeneralization. Sure, a
lot of the commercial crap is like that, but that
doesn't comprise the whole of US hip hop. Take a look
at some groups/artist such as tribe called quest, gang
starr, genelic & memphis reign, any of the quannum
collective, j-live etc etc. And of course there's
antipop consortium, and who knows what the hell they
are rapping about. In any hip hop culture you'll find
the people with the egos rappin about gats and
bitches, and you'll also find real mcs who tear up the
mic without referencing all that shit.
