How did rap change over time, specifically in lyrical form?

Rap had many changes over time since it first started in the early 1970s in the south bronx. Before millions could be made off of rap, it was about the daily struggles of life in the south bronx. With out the incentives of money and fame rap was about anything that happened. It was about reality and not the "the life".[| Here's and example of good lyrics.] They talk about more of the common life at the time. Rapper's Delight by The Sugar Hill Gang has become an anthem for an example of early rap. It has been the called the anthem of hip hop. If you listen to what they rap about and think about what is talked about today you can hear and extreme difference.
