Mmm no.

On a mainstream level we had some of Kanye's best music (Grad/808s and MBDTF), So Far Gone, Kid Cudi was doing great things and Carter 3 ofc. I can't in my right mind call that a disappointing era.

17
A collection of nightmares, thoughts, and real life situations I've lived
17 is the number tattooed on the right side of my head
My own personal number
Soon to be explained in future interviews or instances
By listening to this album, you are literally
And I cannot stress this enough
Literally
Entering my mind
And if you are not willing to accept my emotion
And hear my words fully
Do not listen
I do not value your money
I value your acceptance and loyalty
Here is my pain and thoughts put into words
I put my all into this
In the hopes that it will help cure
Or at least numb your depression
I love you
Thank you for listening
Enjoy

2009, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020

The last 5 years

Examples

Xxtentrashcion era

J Cole era

OP's pick is good. Some gems but a lot of trash and honestly a lot of the whole vibe/scene was awful.

Imo the last few years have been solid but the couple of years where soundcloud rap and sixnine and s*** like that were big were really bad

Unironically

:kanye: pick a date you soft ass nigga

Clb awaiting your b****ness

2016-2021
Hip hop is stuck.

STUCK.

Ur birth year b****made f***er

If you talking year after year then yeah 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021

1900-1905 cuz it didnt exist back then life musta been boring as hell

I'd say 2018 till now is a hella stagnant era

09 was trash tho outside the underground

Scorpion release year. Awfully telling
