    2017-2022 ain’t been that bad, y’all just love complaining and being stuck in the past. We’ve gotten hella quality albums from top dawgs and hella artists that have become mainstays for many people

    The quality overall definitely dropped after 2018 and especially when the pandemic started but we still got some classics in that time

    It's slowly getting better too lately so we will be fine

    if we talking peak drake commercially, 2018 washes 2016. he was at #1 for 29 weeks that year, most of any artist ever.
    also was an amazing year for rap in general:

    • wayne releases c5 and has a major comeback
    • rocky and skepta drop the biggest song of both of their careers
    • kanye has his biggest song since 2011, produces daytona, and drops kids see ghosts and ye
    • travis drops astroworld and has smash features like zeze
    • migos have several hits both as a group and individually as features
    • lil baby and gunna have a breakout year and drop a diamond song together
    • mac, earl, saba, jid all drop great albums
    • carti drops die lit
    • future has several amazing features and drops beastmode 2
    • WSG drops supreme blientele, benny drops tana talk 3
    • frank drops moon river and has amazing features on purity and carousel
    • vince staples drops FM
    • bino goes #1 and drops some great singles
    • drake has 7 songs with over a billion streams each, his 2018 work adds up to over 17B streams, more than most rappers entire discographies

    i could keep going

    TLDR: rap fans got fed that year

    00s washes. Peak Ye, peak 50, peak Em, peak Jay, peak Usher, peak Luda, peak TI, peak Wayne, peak Jeezy, OutKast, Snoop, Cube etc..

    Not to mention pop was top tier and rock had its last legs of mainstream success too. If anything the 10s are the decade with the least amount of timeless music. Pop dried up, rock is dead, rap is declining. Only this current decade looks on par

    It isn’t bad but there’s just a lack of mainstream diversity nowadays like you cannot deny that. Majority of the people in @ops list literally peaked in this time period too.

    Name a better era in the 21st century

    To be clear, 2000 is considered part of the 20th century, so 2001 onward.

    Anyone is just gonna say the best years were the years that they were an adolescent in.

    In 15 years, 35 year olds are gonna be saying their favorite era was 2018-2023.

    That’s just how it goes. There’s good stuff in every era though

    What? No song from him in 2018 was bigger than Famous/FSMH from TLOP

    Also Yeezus had Black Skinhead and Bound 2

    speaking charts wise “i love it” was technically his biggest since 2011 (yes i know tlop songs didn’t chart high because of tidal release)

    That's what people wanted to listen to in 2018 and people still pretend it was a good year for hip-hop

    The fact that JT's FS/LS, Nelly Furtado's Loose, Fergie's The Dutchess, Beyoncé's B'Day, Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics, John Mayer's Continuum, Amy Winehouse's Back To Black all dropped one after another from June to October in 2006.

    Beyonce's self-titled is her best album, Christina and Fergie were never all that, Continuum was cool but it's not holding up to the best from 2011-2016.

    Back to Black, FutureSex/Love Sounds, and Loose are incredible albums but nobody was ever denying that the mid-2000s didn't have slaps. There's just more pop slaps between 2011-2016

    I'm talking about the music

    Drake 2011-2015 was insane musically. He's good now but back then man Drizzy was just at a different level
