That's where you are wrong. Rap is not about what he's spitting. He's just as fake as the rappers talking about how many cars and boats they have. I guarantee you he's never hopped out of a car with a AK and killed someones whole family. I mean really, is that what you want to hear. Rap music is no different than any other form of music. It's self expression and putting YOUR life or YOUR thoughts into words. A little fantasy is fine to throw in there, but it's when you go overboard that it becomes too much. IMO rap music is headed in a good direction right now because the lines are being blurred and there is no distinct path or style to follow. Before it was east coast style and then the west jumped in with their own style that slowed things down a little. Of course you have the south that just brought the beats and club bangers. The best part now is you can listen to a rap song and not be able to tell where a rapper is from and that allows you to just listen. I was listening to a track earlier today by a rapper named J. Cole out of North Carolina and a friend heard it and was like "damn, you stay getting that good NY shit." When I told him the guy was from NC he didn't believe me. Here's the track I was listening to. This is the kinda rap music that I enjoy. I can give you some other stuff if you really want it.
