Kodak Black is the best artist to come out in the 2010's. Nobody has his combination of lyricism, storytelling, introspect, authenticity, voice, beat selection, image. He has actually quickly become one of my favorite rappers to ever come out the South. He is NOT a mumble rapper and he expresses introspect, regret, spirituality in his music in a way that hasn't been seen from such a young rapper in years.
Troy Ave is actually a good rapper.
Don Q will rap circles around anyone right now, including legends.
21 Savage is actually a good rapper.
What A Time To Be Alive is an absolutely classic mixtape.
Lil Wayne is a top 10 rapper of All-Time.
I don't care if Nas or Jay-Z ever drop an album again. Both have been off-beat for the most part in their last few records, their legacies are solidified and they have nothing left to say.
Cam'ron and Ma$e were as good as Big L in the Children of the Corn days.
Coke Boyz in the early 2010's were what Dipset was to NY in the early-to-mid 00's. French Montana is a better rapper than given credit for. Also, Dipset had a bigger influence and following in the streets of NY than Wu-Tang.
The L.O.X. Money, Power, and Respect album is better than We Are The Streets just based off production alone. Styles P is also low key one of the most influential MC's for the current generation of NY rappers.
Drake has classics. So Far Gone is a classic mixtape, and Take Care is a classic album. Overall, though debating "classics" is pointless. The Coli ranks classics on magazine album scores rather than how an album resonated with the public in real time and how many songs continued to get played years later.
Kingdom Come was actually not a bad album and the production on it is pretty good. Tha Carter IV is also not a bad album.
The beats on Ice Cube's classic albums are ass, the beat on The Predator and Lethal Injection were better IMO, anyone who thinks 80's and early 90's production can stack up to today is out they mind.
