I know there’s some truth to the whole new music sucking as you age thing, but I think most of today’s rap artists, to use the term loosely, have zero talent. Sad but true.

Rap and the supporting tech were in their infancy back then. Today‘s hip hop “artists” had all of that history to lean on and are producing verbal papp. Have this fool call me when an artist from today drops social commentary like Poor Righteous Teachers, TuPac, Talib Kweli, Graydon Square, Lauren HIll/Wyclef, or Goody Mob; sick flow and rhyming structure like Eric B. & Rakim or Slick Rick, the cleverest lyrics and turns of phrase like MF Doom, Eminem, Kanye (before he went full-on crazy) and Busta Rhymes; and on and on. There were too many really, really talented artists to name them all, not to mention the also-rans most of whom had more talent than today’s rap hacks. Oh and by the way, your submissions may not employ overly repetitive lyrics, autotune or be backed solely by weak-assed beats picked up for $3.00 on beatstars. I think your list is gon’ be kinda short. j/s🙂 In fairness, I think there are some recent artists that are legit, talented, and actually care about their craft like Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and a few others. However, 95% of the so-called rap today is made up of the same 12 lyrics repeated ad nauseam backed by a simplistic, lame beat for which the only requirements are bass deep enough and loud enough to drown out the autotune and weak lyrics. Other than that, today’s hip hop blows that old stuff out of the water. Edited July 19, 2021 by The Sisko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Gave you my old-guy like there, Sisko. My wife listens to new stuff, and the big thing I get hung up on is that so many of the current artists PHRASE the same way. I like some damn idiosyncrasy in my rhymes, dammit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I mess with this. Lil Fade, Taking Trips, and The Shining will get a lot of spins with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 New album from Rome Streetz. This track is insane, that horn sample is so crazy. Ransom goes in, he has been on a lyrical rampage recently. Two of the best MCs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Is this really a Kanye West album? Or is it a compilation of a lot of rappers/artists that are featuring Kanye every so often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If it’s full of Jesus rap then you can count me out. I’ll give it a listen tomorrow and Tuesday. I was ok with TLOP, Ye was weak, JIK wasn’t for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't make it past the first few songs on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
