I disagree. The best albums we’ve ever had came from major labels.
Hiphop is so dead right now ..it’s actually sad

Plenty of dope hip hop drops, most people just lazy about finding it.
the actual music hasnt been exciting in years. I blame Lil Wayne for birthing the wackest generation of rappers of all time.
the Podcasts like Drink Champs interviewing icons gets more buzz than these wack ass nikkas droppin new music.

True... but those albums took good rappers out the cyphers.
The fame hit and cyphers where showin' and provin' was law disappeared:
It wasn't about proving your skills anymore, it was about getting a deal.
Rap City freestyles?
Rappers had to always stay ready and barred up.
Then this dropped:
Labels, phony rappers and hustlin' the culture created this.

This. Mainstream been cooked for like 10 years almost (it's been bad for longer but still had solid releases).
Underground/indie got plenty of dope artists. Mainstream is now just "urban pop"

Yeah Coli nikkas getting old. I realized the older I get the more I grow out of hip hop. I don't be wanting to hear most of that shyt.
What the young kids would call glazing
But if you know who drop
Hiphop will get a much needed shot in the arm
Haters can hate all yall want but yall know its true

How Sway? So Carti and Drake are the barometer of whether hip hop is alive or not? You mean mainstream hip hop is dead, it has been for 20 years breh. Real hip hop is far from over. Roc Marciano, Griselda, Rome Streetz, RJ Payne, Boldy James. I could go on and on.
Larry June is the only "mainstream" modern dude I fukk wit besides Kendrick, and even he's not really mainstream like that.. I also like glorilla's music..
the juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore.. why grind to make pennies off the millions these big corporations make off your shyt, and then perform in front of wack crowds that want to film everything on their phones instead of enjoying your shyt in the moment..? gotta take hip-hop's power back from the c-suite algorithm ghouls pushing wack drake songs and put that power back to the streets, parties, and word of mouth roots that made hip-hop blow up in the first place..

No creativity. No new perspectives. No new subject material. Rinse and repeat from these new rappers when all they do is the same shyt.
I seen Kendrick, Kanye, Drake, and Travis mentioned and those dudes either had their own lane (or the master of it) or they continued to evolve and adapt.
