"But but it's really there, you just have to go and look for it" Man fukk all that. Most of us aren't DJ's to be spending all day looking for the latest and best shyt out. We do have other interests and things going on in our lives. We count on radio DJ's breaking out new and fresh acts because that's their job. But now, the dj is just another pawn cashing a check.

Are you gonna sit up here and act like rappers in the 90s weren't glorifying violence and sellin drugs :comeon:

Yes they were, there was a balance on what the radio played...now labels and industry fukks want rappers to rap about black on black violence.

Nah bruh, Rap is really better than ever, and as it gets harder and harder to make money from being a rapper the quality of music is going to go up. Once it gets to the point where you can no longer get rich quick rapping, the only people left are going to be the people that make music for the sake of making good music. Plus, there's some incredible music being made already, YG just dropped a classic album that honestly trumps a lot of the old West Coast Classics, Kendrick did the same damn thing a year ago, Kanye is really making some incredibly creative shyt, Travis Scott is following in his footsteps, lyricism is more popular than ever guys like Danny Brown, Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt are really out here prospering. Beats are being taken to a whole new level with modern technology, a lot of creative shyt that no one really thought to blend together or create is coming from producers, shyt is highkey kind of :obama: right now

hip hop and rap is larry holmes status now and have been since like 97'. this ain't to say it ain't been a few good albums here and there over the past 17 years but it's been few and far in between imo

it continues to get shytter and shytter and the bar continues to get lowered as the years go by to the point where the shytty music comes to be acknowledged as great music, lol. it's a fukkin' a joke now

i'll always have my hip hop and rap albums from the late 80's into the mid 90's (96' to be exact) to go back and listen to on occasion but i'm done with all of this new shyt. hip hop and rap music as a whole equals pure shyt now :camby:

the black community is :flabbynsick:

that's why hip-hop is in such a terrible state. it's a reflection of the mindset of a broken people. and black are broken. there's no pride in our community, no love for ourselves and those around us. we've become a superficial class of broke pretenders obsessing over material goods we can't even afford.

@OP ... all the way with you breh.


Music just outright fukkin sucks and is uninspiring now....


After 50.... After Wayne... Rap is pretty much over.... it's a wRAP.... no pun intended.


All I listen to now and then is some old gucci...


What happened to Jeezy? What happened to Tip? What happened to those mid level, semi-iconic rappers, that didn't quite reach Jay-Z type status?


Rap is just fukkin pathetic now.... It's over.


Just spend your time getting money and try to find out how to get money..... Rap dying will be better for you.

What a pathetic, losers, throw in the towel mentality that you have :snoop:

Plenty of people breh. That is why he's one of the highest selling artists. Mainly people who aren't worried about what others think.

Personally I think hes one of the corniest people to ever be in mainstream rap but he makes catchy music :yeshrug:

Lets be honest, it's mostly white people buying the music whether it's Drake or anyone else who is selling but I don't really have an issue with Drake overall.. I can listen to a song like "I'm on One" and be good :manny:
