Most of the ones lamenting will just nitpick modern day artists like redveil and not give them love

The older hip hop gives them nostalgia so they aren't even open to listening to the new dope shyt

The real problem has never been with quality. The problem has always been the quality not being advertised like the bullshyt is

Especially since social media rose to prominence. The microwaveable catchy toxic shyt is popular

There's so many dope artists out there. Most of the people who've posted in this thread don't care to look or give them the time of day
Can you name a few of these dope artist that people are sleeping on? :jbhmm:

There's so many more. This is only for you. Alot of the complainers in here will see the list and look for flaws with every artist. Instead of just appreciating what the artists bring to modern hip hop. Innovation, lyricism, musicality, artistry, flows, style, cadences, everything. They won't listen to it with the same ear they did back in the day. When they listened to the music of the "good ol days"

I have a thread showcasing the dope newer shyt that comes out every week

Very few of the older posters with gripes go in the thread. But they make threads like this to have the same "hip hop isn't the same" discussion with each other all the time. Seems like the threads get made twice a week at this point

It is what it is

I’m the biggest Nas fan and I love the KD Trilogy but idk if im giving them “classic” status alongside Illmatic, IWW,Stilmmatic, etc.
Top tier lyricism and production and replayabillity...whats not classic about them?

Also i've never understood why we constantly compare current day projects against projects from 20 plus years ago, its apples and oranges.

Pick any general consensus classic r&b album from the 90s, is it not a classic anymore if you pit it against Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye?

Social Media is the reason why music regardless of the quality doesnt have any staying power. Everything comes and goes.

Its a sensory overload. Attention spans are shorter. 2 min songs are pretty much standard now. Different times.
Valid point that often gets overlooked when this kind of discussion happens.

And the revered artists from older generations still make great music to this day

Nas put out 4 quality albums in the past 4 years

Redman has had heat over the past few years


I won't even go down the list. But I don't understand why the emphasis is on complaining rather than discovering good new music with an open mind

This is the internet age. We can look up anything we want to, including music. There's something out there for everyone. Old and new

Facts on facts. Just like newer jazz acts never surpassed what John Coltrane and Miles Davis put out we in the Kenny G era of rap.
No, we're in the Robert Glasper era of rap. People just like to complain and are unwilling to dig for new music that suits their tastes.

Also, no music is really gonna hit the same for you individually as the music from your formative years, half the reason we love certain songs or albums so much is because of the connection it has to moments in our lifetime. A ballad of today is never going to hit the way a Boyz II Men track you caught your first grade school slow dance to will.
