sorry to disappoint you mr shaq

Vast Aire is the most underrated rapper to ever come out of NYC

The only solid years of the 2010's was the first 5.
You can't even compare the dogtrash that was 2016-now because it took such a downward spiral right into the gutter

Anyone trying to argue it's on par with the 2000s is a f***ing dumbass or a contrarian

Even then it’s a hard sell tbh

2000s had

Dipset
Prime Kanye
Prime lil Wayne
OutKast
Clipse
50
NERD
Nelly
Common
The game
Missy
Jay z
Prime Eminem
Early Cudi
Early Drake
TI
Boosie
Gucci
Jeezy
Soulja Boy

B-B-But MBTDF and Yeezus came out in those years.

(Not even realizing the irony that a 2000's artist practically carried the 2010's alongside Kendrick and Drake)

Edit: And to solidify my point, we're now living in an era where Kanye is officially past his prime, Drake is washed, and KDot is on a hiatus and we're high key seeing the ramifications of it.

tbf this is like saying will rock ever be as good as in the 70s

90s is really close

they shouldve killed it after this

The late 80’s, 90’s and 2010’s are all better eras. And it’s not close

Mid 2000s-mid 2010s >>>

yeah that’s why the 2010s is better

thanks for the list

U have bad taste

The saddest thing is that niggas will still argue against this like Thug criticises Andre smh

nah, this just proves that the 2010s was pretty much.....MID.

To tell you the truth, all the classic albums came out only in the early to mid 2010s.

After that, all quality went down the drain, and then a lot of s*** became just ass.

Miss these days tbh

Debatable

You wrote ‘prime Kanye’ but didn’t include drake

Which means you don’t include 2010

And IMO MBDTF, WTT, CS, YEEZUS, TLOP run is definitely better or at least equal to at least cd, lr, grad run

Nah.

Besides Kendrick, name me 3 rappers who blew up in the 2010's who had a comparable run to Wayne(04-08), 50(02-05), Hov(00-03), Em(00-04), T.I.(03-09), Ghostface(00-06), Kanye(04-08), or MF Doom(03-05).

I'll give you the 90's/late 80's as the lows weren't as low as the 2000's lows.

But there were just too many great runs in the 2000's compared to the 2010's.

2010s ye >>> 2000s ye

Nah, album format becoming outdated. Music being less profitable means less studio budget, next to no video budgets, add attention spans of today's listeners

It is what it is at this point across pretty much all genres

Take out WTT, CS, and don't include KSG, because they're all collaborative projects. The only classic solo albums that Ye had by himself in this decade was MBDTF and Yeezus.

TLOP was the last great Kanye album that he released.

Ye and JIK were just ok.

You will never live through prime Coke boys era

We forgot Prime T-Pain
