Youngbloodz used to feed us a fight anthem and "smooth joint" every year, brehs.
"85" and "u way"
yall talking about that era and always name 1-2 songs, but ignore all the dope ALBUMS (remember... albums? Complete 15-20 song albums of mostly heat)
but ill take the(2005-2010 era, which yall try to label as "crunk era" especially 2004-2006) but look at the artists and albums they was dropping then;
Plies
Young Jeezy
Webbie
Rick Ross
Dream
T-Pain
Lil wayne
TI
era over this
Lil Uzi
Famous Dex
XXXTencion
Young thug
era any day...
yall rather listen to Uzi say "yeah yeah yeah" over a half a verse and the mumble the remaining parts instead of Plies, TI, Ross, Webbie, etc first few albums... says more about you than the music itself honestly
So many dope RNB artists from 2005-2010 as well. they still running the game rather in mainstream or behind writing lyrics (Chris Brown, Trey Songz, The Dream, etc.)
who are the new RNB cats making ANY noise
this is probably the longest reign of RNB artists ever 
Tory Lanez , The Weeknd and Bryson Tiller only "newer" RNB artists I can think off top of my head making any noise
Drake, Wiz Khalifa and J Cole were at the end of that 2005-2010 era as well.. who from that new era class above will be a super star

Lyrical Hiphop has never been alive
Any who didn't like this song is obviously a full blown homosexual
Candy girllllllllll
Seriously though. Even before then you had the crunk era, Nelly, and all of no limit making records of questionable quality.
Master p literally flooded the game with low quality records. There were slouches on the east coast and west coast too. Every now and then a nikka with no artistic credibility will slip through the cracks. I would agree that it's more prevalent now but there has always been wack nikkas since the beginning of hip-hop.

This era is the WOAT.
Don't think anyone is denying it.....but who led us here? We gotta blame somebody. Gotta Blame some era in hiphop when it all went south (
)Who is the cause of all this mumble jumble 2 syllable hit makers of today?
This.......this is when nggas couldnt stop the bleeding
It gotten so bad that people can't remember a 16 bar verse.

You a Drake/Future stan....your 2 cents on this matter is absolute shyt...........
Far from the WOAT era. It's only worst of all time to people who couldn't turn off the radio or BET long enough to know anything else existed. Even then, it wasn't like you had to dig for quality music. Lupe dropped a great debut and sophomore effort during that era. Common was putting out some of his best music. Scarface came back with heat. T.I. was in the prime of his career (outside of T.I. vs. T.I.P.). Kanye was killing it. Jay dropped American Gangster. The Game was still dope. Nas was holding it down. UGK dropped a nice double album. Ghostface was dropping heat right and left. And you can't really use the excuse that this music wasn't selling because while acts like D4L, Shop Boys, Hurricane Chris, Dem Franchise Boys, and other one hit wonder had big hits, their albums weren't selling. It was ringtone music and ringtone sales accounted for the majority of the success of such acts.
So yeah, we can blame somebody: The Fans who let garbage music define an entire era.

Every era has extreme superb lyricism....and just terrible examples of it.........I said before the only difference with this era.....is its wayyyyyyy to a many terrible nikkas rapping and not nearly enough cats with superb lyricism.........Alot of these cats can actually rap....they just don't because ignorance and bandwagon shyt is way more popping

I agree. Even as an 11 year old in '06, I knew what was good and what was trash, and the good definitely outweighed the trash in that period. Internet hip hop nerds just ran with the whole "hip hop is dead" concept throughout the late 2000's, being willfully ignorant of the high amount of quality music coming out. Mainly because folks on the internet were still on that corny "southern rappers are trash" shyt, and hated on nikkas like Jeezy, Gucci, Wayne, ect., saying they "killed" hip hop because they weren't rapping over early 90's boom bap beats, and didn't talk like NY nikkas
Folks like Plies, Jeezy, Gucci, Wayne, Rick Ross, T.I., and Three 6 Mafia were going platinum. One hit wonder nikkas flopped because people knew they were trash. nikkas acted like all southern rap sounded like Laffy Taffy and A Bay Bay. They didn't want to listen to southern rap until the mainstream forced them to. I can definitely argue that the artists I listed are just as lyrical as any other 2000's rapper. Lyrical rap never died, nikkas down south always made lyrical rap, along with club shyt. NY's sound just got stale, and they hated on us, until they started jocking us

laffy taffy is a hood classic fukk wat nikkas talkin about also the south> any other region when it comes to rap music west coast prolly second
