MATERIALISM WITHIN THE HIPHOP CULTURE

Forget about Madonna, singing about being a material girl. The mainstream rappers are constantly talking about the material things. I think it leave the audience on a low plateau, while taking them higher should be the purpose. Hip hop music is the most intellectual music genra there is, because in rap songs you can handle various subjects that is actually going on in the community, but the mainstream rappers are off track with their topics about Louis Vutton, Gucci, Prada or what ever. They brag about the newest car, kicks, ice and so on and so on. What happend to some rich lyrical content.
