Why Rap Music Isn't as Good as It Once Was

I actually used to like Rap music i may be a Metalhead but there are some Rap Artists i like however most of them are from the 80s and 90s but anyway i won't be surprised if i get hate for this list but all i'm not hating on the genre i'm just saying why it's not as good as it once was i also put loads effort into this list
The Top Ten
1 Most rappers use autotune today

Hip hop is better now than it was in the 90's. I'm sorry.

Yes. Auto tuned to death.

2 The lyrical themes are mostly about sex, drugs, or alcohol in today's rap songs

It was always like that...

3 Rap dance songs
4 Most rappers only do it for the money today

Back in the 80s and 90s Rappers mad Rap songs for two things making money and the music for their fans Example N.W.A made the music because they loved making Rap songs and they were poor and they actually needed the money but most rappers today are saying they are rich in their songs we get it you like Money do you have to rub it in our face so many times when they probably never needed the money.

5 Some rappers today claim they are poor when they never were

Example in the song Started From The Bottom by Drake in the song he says that he was poor when he was actually on a T.V. show when he was a teenager so he's not truly a poor person N.W.A were true poor people who actually were poor and needed the money because they actually lived in a ghetto and didn't receive that much money.

6 Lots of rappers today become famous for short periods of time
7 Good rap artists get overshadowed by bad ones

Unfortunately, this happens with every genre, but just know that a few bad artists doesn't make an entire genre bad.

8 The generic beats

This is one thing I hate about modern rap the generic beats which basically are always the same and it gets annoying hearing the same beat over and over again I wish rap artist could do something more creative with the beats.

The only Rap song that actually hasn't a generic base or beat is Papercut by Linkin Park

9 The songs are more generic nowadays

It's repetitive as heck too. There are probably some good modern rappers out there though.

10 The fanbase
The Contenders
11 Kids becoming rappers
12 Many rappers nowadays don’t put as much effort into their music as they did in the 80s, 90s and 2000s

Did they ever?

13 It has very little culture

Some people actually call rap their culture. Most rappers are not good role models and kids today still try to imitate them.

14 There are fewer good rappers making good music
