At least you can say Hip hop progressed both lyrically and musically from the 80s to the 90s.....

The fact that with all the shyt that went down this summer, the music doesn't reflect it is telling. All we got was a half assed Lil Baby song and WAP. Ain't a soldier amongst this new breed

They don’t need to things “better” they do things differently.

Meld with the beat?

Most of the more popular rappers today are great at harmonizing with more "poppy" beats, and blending their flow with the beat. Some great examples are Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, and Lil Baby. Trippie Redd is another one.

They're great at blending more melancholic topics (like depression, drug use, suicide, etc.) into hard-hitting songs, which is one of the reasons why the shyt that they say goes over so many heads. Juice, Mac Miller and Lil Peep all rapped about addiction and such, yet it still came as a surprise when they died.

Lets see if they make tribute albums of them in the 2030s.

In the meantime, I'm still waiting for a tribute album or a basic cover of the Snap era

This is music “better” is a subjective and not a requirement

But to play along they are better at riding beats, hooks, melodies and adlibs

So 16 bar verses with coherent voices now a bad thing? Or is it no longer required?

They don’t need Mariah Carey, R Kelly or Even Chris Brown or Beyoncé in order to make a song accessible outside of their core fans

The only thing that you can give this generation credit for is further advancing the genre globally, and culturally.


They killed the baggy cloths era to the point you can’t even cop baggy cloths in the latest styles.

they also innovated how their content is consumed by taking advantage of new/current technologies.
