It's not about the fact that people rap about different things... it's about the fact that people rapping about different things are commercially popular that's new and unique. It was the same way back in the 80's as well but lost commercial significance for many years. True, the Roots and Common did fairly well but they were exceptions to what was generally popular.
And bland rubbish?! Rap is more creative now in terms of topics.
Only now do you see things like a rapper with a concept song set in the Vietnam War:
Or rapping about the obesity crisis:
Or alien visitors:
or the Media:

What does that say about your bourgeois sensibilities?
