In each era of Hip-Hop the leaders dictate the energy

The golden era had Rakim and Kane that era was amazing because it had to be we was ruled by the "gods"

Now we have Drake (lol) and Kendrick

Kendrick is a poser, a lame and not half as good as everyone thinks he is the state of Hip-Hop reflects that correctly

I hate that Charles Hamilton had so many issues he was the most talented of his generation by far

Say what you want but the era Kendrick and Drake came up in had dope artists to me.

Kendrick
Drake
Cole
Krit
ASAP
Cudi
Future
Big Sean
Ab Soul
School Boy Q
Joey Badass
Dave East
Griezelda
Tyler the Creator
Meek Mill
Wale
Tory Lanez

theres a lot of range.

Cole- He showed us he ain’t the nikka he claimed to be. Which is fine but it was disheartening to see him bow out the competition like he did
The longer this victory lap continues, he’s been proven to have done the right thing. Y’all need to stop pretending as if hip hop is some fckin bloodsport/ hunger games survival of the fittest shyt

He did the right thing but nobody trying hear him rap about him being the goat and how deadly his pen is. There will be a lot more criticism of him going that route when before the criticism was non existent.

I disagree. I think it’s a changing of the guard. It’s a new generation. Most of the rappers from 5 to 10 years getting stale or exposed, and it’s hella new artists making waves.

A lot of ppl are tired of the bs. It’s not just cuz Kenny either. Remember before the beef, Rap was already waning. The beef was just a catalyst to reignite the energy in the genre. Just give it another year or so. It’s fina look hella different. Too much empty space.

Time will tell if was good seeing Doechii win best new artist especially seeing how the females seem to be dominating rap. But we shall see how the rest fares.

To the folks that care about that dumb trivial stuff. Are the lyrics on point? Do the beats knock? Is the content on par with past works and/or building on that? Should be the only things that matter. Funny to me this is the line for “fans” when they’ve rooted for nikkas who’ve lied about being a CO, got caught on camera kissing dudes (one in particular was suckin another man off), blatantly telling the life stories of other folks and they’ve never even remotely lived those lives. But this right here is the line in the sand. SMH…the “culture”
