You know what, I understand and respect that 100%.
I just think that true talent in rap happens when artists go beyond the trivial things that aren't about success and money.

You're also leaving out the intense
misogyny which is only a byproduct of ignorance and problematic aspects of culture, tbh - has nothing to do with fame or success.
