!

More or less

i miss stuff like Take Care and GKMC and Rodeo but there’s just as much good new stuff. It’s just different

older artists are still putting out good music

Kanye
Drake
Nas
Cole
Tyler
Isaiah
Cudi

It's not as good though is it.

U mean the site that keeps getting shut down? Lmao

yeah but they legit

I know you are u f***in c**

*me when i dont listen to rap

2018 was terrible outside of baby gunna Travis and Carti

Wrong

2018-19 was dog water

Not good ones

not bad quality just boring nothing really happening and all my goats peaked and im ok with that

unironically the best thing to ever happen to rap bro

OP def ain’t looking hard enough if his staples are Durk and future

Honestly you can’t complain that culture hasn’t stood still to placate your own tastes that haven’t evolved in nearly a decade

That’s just on you. Isn’t this just as dumb of an argument as rap fans from the 90’s complaining about the 2010’s?

Ye in his 5th prime. how is this a bad era?

This era is not nearly as bad as that weird 2018-2019 era when the industry was trying to recreate the soundcloud era with juice wrld and lil peep clones

Yup. And probably even dumber today now that it's so much easier to find a niche of music u enjoy compared to actually having to dig in the blog days

the underground is in a good spot

mainstream rap is probably in the worst spot its ever been. there's nobody thats satisfying all the rap fans the way drake, k dot, cole, ye, wayne, hov, etc. did. i dont think its ever been this long

Kanye: hit or miss right now, unfinished songs and music that lacks direction makes his music take a hit

Drake: past his prime, struggling to capture the spark again

Nas: great vet comeback story

Cole: (I've never been a Cole fan so ima reserve my opinion)

Tyler: arguably one of the most exciting acts out, getting better with every project, but a lot of people are gonna struggle to give him a chance because of his past and his fan base

Isaiah: idk why more people don't fw Isaiah, didn't strike while the iron was hot, lost a decent amount of hype, and his last project didn't seem to re-captivate people

Cudi: as much as I love Cudi, man's an icon, he has very big "hello, fellow kids" vibes when he's kinda past his prime, but he can still punch in a solid verse and make a solid song here and there

KENNY: everyone knows exactly what's coming

There are a lot of younger acts doing something unique that I think get unfair hate/don't get their proper dues, but I definitely think the McDonald's music that's been coming out (due to the streaming/influencer era) definitely outweighs pure craft. Was listening to some 3k last night and it's insane how such a small % of artists could even hold a candle to 3 stacks at his very worst, let alone prime Outkast, as far as artistry. Then again, pandemic era probably really responsible for a lot of it.

scarlxrd jashiah and all those other guys lol

Ngl i haven’t had that mix of funny/real bars in a long ass time. Lowkey never

The 10s just set the bar too high, 20s not being able to catch up
