whoa whoa whoa..

Im not sold on this being the NEW golden era.

If so, it aint becuz of Kendrick. I dont care how y'all think of Drake, but dude started this so called NEW golden era.

and who are the leaders of it, besides Drake?

Saying this a Golden era is just Charlmagne talkin, but there is no question the quality of hip hop is on an upswing. That said, the reason why rap sounds so good now, is because it creatively and artistically bottomed out in 2006-2009.

If you wife up and fck a fat, nasty, smelly bytch for 3 years, and you drop her for some solid puss, that next chick gunna feel like Halle Berry in her prime to you. Rap fans were abused with that snap bullsht.

Really, this era begins and ends with Kendrick. There are some dope artists now, dont get me wrong, but Kendrick is the best MC to come along in 20 years since Nasir Jones.

I wonder if Ab Soul will be able to deliver, He is talented but very limited, can't se him dropping a great album... I don't want him to fail but I just don't see him being able to release something "great"

Tthx god nobody is talking about drake anymore, ppl have finally understood that he isn't talented enough to release quality albums

The interviewer is a lame. Dude has no taste in music. Charlamagne gets it.

 

[L. Deezy]

Drake definitely got the talent to release soomething good man,

but I agree, his first 2 albums are bad & above average

I agree with everything EXCEPT the Kendrick part, I really believe it started with Lupe Fiasco. Lupe really was the lyrical breath of Greg air that mainstream needed back when he dropped in 06. F&L and The Cool really set a lyrical and creative paththat artists such as Kendrick, Cole, and even Drake could follow down. Lupe doesn't get NEARLY enough respect for being one the absolute dopest artists in Mainstream Hip Hop the past 6 or so years...
