Back then we didn't have garbage rappers like Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, too many to name. Back then Lil Wayne was good. Before The Carter 3 he was one my top rappers now hes just plain garbage.

Also, alot of producers back then (Preem, Dre, and Pete Rock to name a few) grew up listening to jazz and 60s/70s soul and funk that were some vital influences in their creativity.

But songs from back in the day did have more feeling and meaning to them. Its like they rapped with a passion. Now they just rap cause they think its cool or have a few minutes of fame. At the same time I have to disagree with you on the topics rapped about,because back then rappers talked sex,hoes,and drugs BUT they told a story along with it. Now in some songs they'll repeat over and over again I f*cked that b!tch, I f*cked that hoe. No creativity at all.
