Big Boy: Is there anyone that keep you on your toes and make you want to do better music ?

Jay-Z: "Kanye, Drake, J. Cole, and that Kendrick Lamar album was insane", "It's a good time for hip-hop. I mean, think about the year that's happening, all the albums that's dropping. It feels like '96, '92. ... hip-hop has done so much for racial relations, it doesn't get the proper credit. It's always demonized and people point out all the bad things about it, but no one talks about how hip-hop has brought all different races of people together."

In Young Hov’s opinion, the trend of quality albums dropping these days has him feeling like hip-hop is back in its prime.

He also downplayed plans to rush out a follow-up to 2011's platinum-selling Watch the Throne album.

"We don't have any dates lined out for it, but we definitely spoke about dropping solo albums and then going back to do Watch the Throne 2, so we'll see what happens."

Todays hip-hop is decent but the last really great year was maybe 2008 or even 2011 if you drop the bar a bit.

who hes worked with..or are signed to him :beli:
Which is essentially like saying, Kobe only gives props to Durant, Lebron, CP3, D12 etc because they play with him in Team USA :heh:.
The only newschooler who is poppin who he doesn't acknowledge is Asap and the rest of tde(who aren't poppin to a point where they should be getting the highest of highest props). Big Sean might've been left out this time but he gets props too and Meek.
