To be fair, there's a lot of rappers who used to impress me who don't as I get older (too many to name, but a shytload of early to mid 00s ny mixtape rappers). Point being, I don't know if it's new rappers being weaker lyrically or if things just don't impress me as easily anymore. Could be both :ld:. I don't seek to get impressed anymore either, I just try to enjoy the music.

I still fukk with new music, but nobody has had me like :mindblown: from a lyrical standpoint anymore in many years. The last person to seriously impress me was probably Lupe on his debut album.

Im 27 and dont listen to any new music anymore.

It's all "im an average guy" music. I dont wanna listen to that shyt.

Im 32 and i'd say Lupe last album impressed me. Because he fell off and bounced back. I guess with a the layers and hidden meaning kinda made me feel like it was a perfectly executed jig saw puzzle.

The last were

Lupe
Krit
JoeyBada$$
and
Jay Electronica

I hate to say this but Azalea Banks wordplay is good but her songs are trash.

I like A$AP Rocky's flow


conceptually Kendrick (sounds like a washed up Andre 300) and Cole (sounds like a washed up ATCQ member), Freddy Gibbs (sounds like if Dr. Dre learned to rap) are good but it's been done before in the 90's
Good taste. I agree on all these, except Joey Badass but only because I haven't listened to him much yet.
