If you make the nostalgia argument then I could come back with the argument that you’re a prisoner of the moment. Of course newer stuff seems more creative than old stuff in the moment but in reality, the people who turned the turntable into an instrument are way more creative than people mixing rap with pop punk
I’m not making the argument about who’s more creative just better. creativity is on a individual by individual bases, humans however just get better at everything as time goes on I don’t know how this can be argued
humans are better at running, sprinting, swimming (every sport tbh), cooking, dancing, you name it.
something can be said for people who started everything off but in no way are they better than decades of humans learning from them and surpassing them in skill. the top rappers today are miles better than the top rappers of before.
define back in the day
pretty sure he’s talking about old heads like Rakim and that era
people ITT bringing up music from a decade ago when it’s damn near the same generation

idk the guy from the tweet and idk how old he is but I'm thinking about the music I was listening to when I first started listening to rap and that was like a decade ago

might be the most important point made on this forum (specifically nostalgia vs prisoner of the moment)
All that creativity and they still can’t drop a good album.
That’s why the generation from 11 years old still running hip hop.

Not gonna lie I never really even thought of the point until this thread and I feel like I got one lol
Niggas aint even making songs like
Many men
Jesus walk
Stan
Hail mary
Crossroads
So I wouldn’t even say it’s more creative either
F*** is so special and creative bout the those songs. They sound good but don't gas em like they walk on water
Even if that’s true, he def shouldn’t be the messenger lol
It’s always niggas that’s not really that creative speaking on how much better rap is now
Stop. You heard his song elon musk
All that creativity and they still can’t drop a good album.
That’s why the generation from 11 years old still running hip hop.
because 95% of them including whoever DDG is are :
1 - not good
2 - don't care about rap just want to get famous quick
3 - carried by production
Why's the music disposable trash then
litteraly majority of these guys albums come and go, only album that sticks are from rappers from the previous generation

It a quality problem, but a quantity problem. There’s so much of it it isn’t as special anymore.

But the old stuff is still special and old rappers continue to make good albums while theirs suck ass
