Gen Z claims Hip Hop is “Progressing” so Name one thing current rappers do better than past MC’s?

[Majestyx]

90’s rappers would need an R&B artist to do these chorus

 

[Apprentice]

Of this era? Too many.

Of the late 90s? A whole lot. If you were reading The Source Magazine, a lot of 3 and 3.5 mic albums were dropping.

One hit wonders are sumthin of every generation don’t let nostalgia fool u

Partially true, but a lot more 1 hit wonders in this era

Song writing/stucture and subject matter is way better

rap has evolved past 3 16 bar verses about how well the rapper can rap

Name some I can go bar for bar wit u

 

[Thanos]

I still like lot of artists this era but my main complaint, nikkas who can't sing should not be singing. Y'all getting diet rnb with some hip hop on the side.

This is exactly why “posse” cuts don’t happen anymore.

In'shallah

 

[Shadow King]

Pick better beats

Beats are way better than most of the boom bap era

Beats are better. That’s it

Beats are about producers evolving, not rappers.

And to the thread in general y'all can't say "more versatile" when they can only do the harmonizing but never impress with a traditional flow. That's just being different.

probably because what happened "this summer" has been happening and nearly everybody i listen to does it on a regular so no need to do it to be in line with whats trending. plenty of conscious artists and songs these days. this was literally played live on tv when biden won a few years old but still most relevant this last year.

yeah idk what more people want, these nikkas must want someone to talk like a coli nikka and be on some "fukk cacs, fukk chinese, fukk mexicans..." type of time.

a number of rappers make mention to events in their songs if not have a whole song about

 

[How Sway?]

Cassidy's new album shyts on 90% of these goof balls in the game smh.
