2017 the Weakest Year for Rap/Hiphop?

Nope.

Next.

I think this is the reason people routinely drop "came and went" on this forum. In yesteryear an album will have a 16-week rollout with four months of adverts, interviews, singles, videos and marketing campaigns. The sheer anticipation for it will have guys expectant for the project and thus more tolerant of it when it comes out.

Nowadays I'm hearing two of my favourite artists Future and Thug drop an album 12 hours before it hits Apple Music. As a result I don't really care for it in any way, shape or form.

Exactly. In the current rap climate, the best type of rollout you're getting is an artist posting the cover to their album/mixtape on IG or twitter, snapping some snippets for it, then dropping it soon after. I think most of the anticipation we get now is simply knowing that our faves will eventually drop something and that's it.

Long term these artists will suffer for it. Rappers from the 90s can still tour because albums stuck back then.

Definitely 1 of the weakest IMO

Nope Kendrick with DAMN, Joey with ALL AMERIKKKAN BADASS. And Dave East starting to get some recognition.
