It seems very contrived to name a straight five year streak that an entire genre of music was underperforming.

what in the lyrical miracle f***

We got Ye from 04-09 but let’s not forget that was Wayne’s PEAK too.

Don't necessarily need to be 5 years of underperforming to be the worst 5 year period

This is a really bad take lol. Some of the best rappers came out during that time bro what?

Some of the best albums are in 2015 as well

Rock music from 2000 to 2010 was f***ing terrible

Is this supposed to be camerong or Snoop lion or both

Last five years easily.

-No real promising new guard to lead the way into the new era

-Ye fell off.

-Few truly timeless hits or club bangers that can be enjoyed for generations.

-Very few truly classic albums in the mainstream (underground/indie scene is dope though)

-Production is less innovative and more repetitious

You're lame, dude...

Dead ass was like another golden era. Bro is just trolling

Has to be lol, I swear

You and that huge d*** you carrying around is right. Big brain big balls

Bro underachievers 3rd eye chakra was so 2012

2017 to 2019 felt so long due to all the trash

n/a

05-10

And to think I liked one of your posts, you b****ass nigga

This too lowkey but at the same time 2009 was pretty cool

Hell nah. Way too much classic music in this era. The lows were low but the highs are great. We got prime Wayne, peak Kanye, MOTM, SFG, prime TI/Jeezy, and prime Game out of this era.

its funny because its basically the foundation of Ye's career

but the ringtone and early autotune era was so s***

along with the G-Unit copycats

look below

I'd take soundcloud era over ringtone era any day

I would say the last 5 years however the underground scene saw a lot of new light with dudes like Mach, Griselda, Elhzi dropping some heat, 38 Spesh, even Royce kind of getting in his bag again.

Just depends on what you mean. Mainstream, yeah pretty underwhelming outside of a few albums here and there. We getting some people starting to find their sound though.

Rap tryna transition outta the trap wave, we like almost out of it. I think it’s gonna turn a corner and we gonna have something new and crazy in a couple years that is gonna dominate this next decade.
