Although rap music was always violent, the violence portrayed with your old rappers tell a story on what they had to do to survived on daily basis on the streets versus modern day rappers show violence to portray dominance and to sell a dream to listeners of a life that is not real. Alongside drug influence was more about how they sold the drugs to make money it was there way of making money but rappers today or more about how they use the drugs and the influenced the listeners to use drugs. The gang related activity was something that is carried on in both generations but was promoted more in the older generations.
