K.R.I.T. talks about real issues but mostly his path to making it, and a whole lot of southern street ish.

Drake. . . fuckin Drake. He might have the female crowd and some good moody ass beats but he's "niggas in paris" territory when it comes to being out of touch with current issues, and like K.R.I.T. primarily lamenting on his own story.

Wiz. . . smoke too much.

Mac. . . I dont listen to youngin enough but what ive heard was either rappity rap or bs bragging.

Curren$y. . . not relatable at all, entertaining but he on some street shit most people know damn well they haven't experienced.

J.Cole, again, he might say some real ish but it always goes back to his own story.

I think Kendrick had maybe a couple more topical songs on Section.80, and if not that was certainly more specific in terms of pointing out what he believes is a direct cause for this generations current state.
