If, by authenticity you mean manufactured gangster rap by actual gangsters signed to try to appeal to a broader audience that is begging for an tilted view of ghetto life, then yes. There has been.
But if you mean, there's been a quest for authentic ghetto and hip-hop-culture voices who speak the truth and don't necessarily glorify materialism, violence and misogyny, then I have to disagree.

Good distinction. Most of the latter group I've heard has been being played on alternative-type (non-commercial) stations, for some reason.
