I agree with it being subjective. I think the one central theme of Hip Hop is authenticity...or the concept of "keeping it real," and being authentic means different things to different people. For some people, rapping about all the money you make and all the bitches you fuck is fake and you're putting on a front. For others, that's their real life (or at least it was) and the backpackers aren't "real" enough.
