More modern rap is just more material than territorial.
Rap is an expressive form of music and because of this will always follow a certain beat...the same way jazz is always jazz in whatever form. The context of rap songs are a reflection of the genre so to say they're about the same thing comes off as kind of condecending since the same can be said for country jazz pop blues and many more if you look at them that way.
Nah, I'm pretty sure a majority of rap these days is either about how rich they are, how famous they are, or how many bitches they have. Compared to older rap/hiphop artists like Run DMC, you can really see how it contrasts. Back then people didn't give a shit, and people didn't buy your albums because you think you're ballin.
