Everyone talks about how rapping is dead and all the new rappers suck, but if you actually listen to what some of these dudes are saying, some of these new dudes can spit. 2 chainz is the best example, white people say he sucks but thats because they dont understand anything hes saying. Same with migos, people think theyre just sayin random shyt to cash out, but they really care about rapping. You can tell because of the work they put into their verses. These flows are pretty nice too, few rappers were creative with their flows in the "golden age" but now thats the main thing that sets you apart. Even thugga says some good lines occasionally, although hes not the best example. An we gonna act like yeezy cant spit? Even though he doesnt write his verses they go pretty hard tbh.

most people just ignore the lyrics, because all the relevant mainstream rappers are completely offkey.
which hurts clarity and the listener just tunes it completely the fukk out.
if you are offkey,....
you need a whole lot of payola to make up for your lack of skill.

which is exactly what happens.
payola is footing the bill and why rappers nowadays get on, or any spins.
real talk, all the relevant rappers have fake draws.
as they really do not resonate with the listener.
plus, their spins and chart positions are paid for.

It's easier to sing along to ignorance than it is to decipher another persons intellect. People would rather turn up than come up. Pretty simple.
