IMO There are hardly any real lyricists in rap these days. "Soulja Boy" and **** like that. What is that? The same phrase over and over again. If you asked half of these rappers to spit something straight from the hip they would look at you like you were stupid. No one is in it for rap music itself. They are in it for the "bitches and money." Actually, while overplayed, it is nice to see someone who still makes good music getting recognized in this fashion. It's kinda too bad it has been done to the extent that it has been, though.
