This is the turning point, not the zenith. It will get stronger for the next few years then wane for the next few after that.

how is lyricism back when nikkas give the business to nikkas but they too holier than thou to respond to the lyrics being sent their way?

They could just make tracks without words at all if lyrics didn't matter. Since they choose to include some type of vocals, why shytty quality? It is called Rap Music by most people.

The genre is bigger than one type of music. Same people like myself will be at the club or in a car banging Ross,future, or 2 chainz . Would be at home listening to Kendrick , Nas , Jay , andre 3k

I think their is certain hip hop for certain times. I am a big Charles Hamilton Fan but im not gonna play his music at a get together.

The newer generation is much more diverse most people i know have Migo and J cole in their ipod.

The genre is really well rounded.
