Arguably Pac, Face, and Cee Lo were really talking about something other than being a superman, but not raw like Slug or El-P.

Royal Flush did a song about domestic violence on his album, but El-P's stepfather factory was something totally different.

There's introspection and self examination, and then there's introspection. I think we've talked about a missing emotional component of hip hop for a while, but we can't ever nail it down, cause most rappers, under and overground do take a look at themselves.

But the, 'what has my life become' kinda raps, ...I dunno. Something about Prodigy or Jay Z doing it always seems to be couched in "coolness". Same with Nas.

Or I could just be projecting.
