I think he’s confusing creativity with diversity. The game is a lot more diverse now which is cool.
Who’s better than Black Thought?
most rappers with an actual personality
Dudes itt saying creativity is better?
What creative songs have come out in the mainstream in the last 5 years? It's all about b****es, d****, dances and money lol nothing like Nas, Em, Pac level creativity. Producers carry rappers these days.
Bollocks
Back in the days the rappers knew how to rap. Can't say the same about the young kids we hear about these days
MY RHYMES IS PHAT
most rappers with an actual personality
That convo wasn’t about personality or any nom-tangibles, it was specifically about rap skill comparing it to things like swimming

gotchu, should have read first
Creatively? In a way yes.
But overall ? Definitely not.
You really don't need to be that good of a rapper nowadays to be poppin
The standards were much higher back then
F*** is so special and creative bout the those songs. They sound good but don't gas em like they walk on water
They got concepts and stories. Something a lot of rappers aren’t doing today.
the art of rapping has insanely improved on a general level but 90's is by far still the golden era
You can have all the flows you want and rap over whatever kinda production you want. It don't really mean much if you ain't really saying all that much to begin with.
lol please. Rappers don't even know how to rap now a days
Lotta lazy basic bars with a focus on autotuned humming/moaning to help them try to ride the beat more.
That's the other thing too. How are rappers "10x better than rappers back in the day" if these dudes are hardly even able to rap on beat these days
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
All those languages and you chose to speak facts.
this is funny bc I was listening to some late 90s/early 2000’s rap the other day and s*** really sounded like a whole other genre.
would have to disagree tbh, feel like rappers from the 90's and 2000's were more in love and enamored with hiphop as a culture and constantly wanted to impress each other with bars.
nowadays it's more about streams, sales, and rappers nowadays would rather be seen as rockstars and venture further away from hiphop.
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
Absolutely not and anyone who says otherwise was born after 2000 or is lying to themselves
