Eminem has an extreme facility with words, Kanye's contradictions are fascinating, Clipse and Mobb Deep are like hip hop noir - these are just a few of the shades of hip hop today. Sure if it was all Li'l Jon I'd agree with you...

Nothing stays the same and it would be pretty bland to stay with songs from the era you are describing. Even back then you had your good and bad hip/hop and rap; just like now. As music evolves it usually does so with the way the culture is too. So I think it's just as good, if not better, than before.
