As i said, not everyone in the rap industry is as big of a clown as Lil wayne. Some rap has meaning behind it. Just listen to some of Eminem's, or Nas's tracks. They put heart into their words.
Every generation seems to love their own music, and claim the future gen's music is garbage. 
oh yeah, meaning. i get the meaning of it alright.
it's ok to hit women.
it's ok to shoot someone, even cops.
it's ok to do steal.
in prison but it's someone else's fault.
anything illegal is cool.
you really want to use that eminem poop as a good example of "meaning"? still crying about his daddy left his momma and that's why he acts like a loser. i like the meaning behind "a-s-s like that" better. he has done a lot of funny tracks that are entertaining if you can listening to it.
want to talk about the message public enemy, nwa, wu tang clan, snoop dog or busta rhymes were sending?
rappers could be considered entertainers, but not musicians or artists.
