If the rappers of the 80s and 90s could see now they would have a good laugh.

I don't even know what mumble rap is. Is it literally people mumbling? Lol
Anyway, society is more materialistic than ever and hip-hop, pop and rnb are full of songs about sex and acquiring wealth by any means necessary. I've noticed a lot of big rap music fans online blame the mainstream part of the genre for giving society a wrong impression on the genre. There's definitely good rappers with deep anf thoughtful lyrics out there, but they don't get much success since very few people are listening to them.
Rock nowadays overall, seems to focus more on lyrics than playing songs for the radio and commercials.
