I'm bout to be 30 soon. This is the worst era in hip hop by far.

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Naw breh the ringtone era from ‘05-‘08 was dope

hell to the naw

just hearing that jibs song again in this thread was like reliving nightmare. The production in that era is easily the woat, shyt ever.

Atleast I still got quality in the ring tone era.

My God this is terrible. It dawned on me when quavo said, "money long like a wide receiver cause it's going long." I'm like wow this dude probably thought that was straight fire.

I grew up in Raleigh listening to dblock, dipset, Ross, Jeezy. All I want is gangster music with some wit and cleverness.

I used to love her, bruhs.

Yep im 31 feel the same. What part of Raleigh you grow up in?

South Raleigh.

Bruh I thought battle rap was Corny

imo Freestyling, Battling and Cyphers was away to filter and gate-keep hiphop.

Without it you have things like this passing

 

[hayesc0]

South Raleigh.

Oh ok im from like the north east part that why i was curious Green Road area.

 

[Wiles]

This is big facts

If there was no Thug Future or migos what would hip hop be right now? Serious question.

They don't want that answer brehs..

 

[Wiles]

Lol, that's literally like me taking a Nelly bar and generalizing the year 2000 with it. Y'all missing out hard. No sympathy here.

The new shyt is trash for the most part get over it

 

[bl2k8]

Ringtone/mid 2000 was worse, but this era ain’t to far off

90s babies really got fuxked when it comes to trash rap

 

[Stir Fry]

There's still god music being made. You just gotta dig a little harder to find it these days.

 

[NormanConnors]

elzhi, black milk, phonte, MED and guilty simpson, skyzoo, roc marciano and a few others all droppes dope projects this year

 

[Barnett114]

S/o to Atlanta for ruling hiphop for the last 15 years

No it wasn't.

The only thing that saved it was the Chicago movement (Kanye, Lupe and Common) and the occasional Jay album.

Now our only saving grace is really only Kendrick.

There were some exceptions but for me its been pretty much downhill post 2007

 

[mobbinfms]

The last, by and large, great year in hip hop was 1996. It’s been downhill ever since.
The mumble sing trap era is the worst yet.
