Modern Rap versus 20th Century Rap

Before I start I would like to say that the title of this post can be misleading. I don't by any means consider myself a rap fan but I am very opinionated about this certain subject. I hate modern rap. I seriously hate it. I think it is one of the most pointless genres of music, if you could even categorize it as such. All it consists of is reciting vulgar lyrics in a swift monotone with a bass booming obnoxiously in the background. I'm not completely opposed to rap, though. In fact I like it in certain situations. One of my favorite songs is American Boy by Estelle and Kanye. The rap isn't too long and there is some actual music in the background. Another kind of rap that I don't mind is older rap, which brings me to my point. Rap in the 80's and 90's was so much better. There was funky background rhythms and the rap wasn't so monotone. Take the theme to Fresh Prince of Bel Air for example, the lyrics are indearing and Will Smith's tone of voice shifts to match those lyrics. Another example would be Me Myself and I by De La Soul. Notice the super funky music in the background. So much better. Also the lyrics are not completely disgusting and crude. So that's the end of my little rave.
