Kendrick Lamar is not that good of a rapper. His best CD is GKMC
Schoolboy Q is the best rapper in Top Dawg
The best female rapper is Tokyo Jetz right now
Future has fell off....still believe he can bounce back tho
Young Thug is nice. He is no genius.
Childish Gambino's music is ok at best. Not a genius in anything he does.
2 Chainz is currently King of the South
Kevin Gates has the best flow in the game right now
Drake's been the king of hip hop for the last decade. His last 2 CDs were not good.
Eminem is a top 20 rapper...no higher
Max B would not have blown if he was out of jail and solo with the Coke Boys.
Max B would have blown if Byrdgang stayed together.
Stack Bundles' death is the reason that NY rap has been doing a nomad impression for the last 10-15 years
I don't think that rap's young generation is any wilder than we were at that age (I'm 31); they have better access to technology and more people are aware of the technology
Tekashi69 is trash if you listen to the words. His energy carries him. His types are needed in hip hop.
If everyone would take a step back, they would realize we are in a great era of music....there is always something to listen too and new stuff to find...
That said.....Rich Homie Quan's "Rich as in Spirit" is the best CD so far of the year
Kanye didnt fall off musically until TLOP....but hes cooked
J.Cole is nowhere near as nice as he was during the Come Up/Warm Up/Friday Night Lights run....I'd say he actually dumbed it down a little with the harmonizing
Travis Scott is garbage
DS2 was the last classic that we got...the magnum opus of trap music.....(Yes, better than TM101, Trap Musik, Traphouse 3, No Labels 2, etc.)
If you are over 26, Hip Hop is still yours to love but its not in your hands any more. Let the youngins do their own thing.
I'm here for the discussion, not the smoke
