I agree. The last hurrah for me was HNIC and Blueprint, but the 1996 consistency had long passed.

Now let me get out of this thread before I’m quoted a thousand times over and then I’m just repeating myself for idiots over and over again lol

I'm a certified backpacker but honestly I can't put Young Thug in that category. Been fukking with him since 2013's "1017 Thug".
I think he's like Future in that he isn't super lyrical BUT he is clearly capable of putting together cohesive projects which puts him ahead of 99% of Gen Z rappers and most rappers of his generation. Barter 6 is a classic IMO, along with projects like Slime Season 2 and My Name is Jeffrey.
think of something like the chorus for Digits:
"nikka, hustlers don't stop, they keep goin' (yeah)
You can lose your life but it gon' keep goin'
Why not risk life when it's gon' keep goin'? (Yeah)
When you die somebody else was born
But at least we got to say
We ran up them digits, we ran up the money
We ran up them digits, we ran up that money
We ran up them digits, we ran up that money (sheesh, sheesh)
We ran up them digits, we ran up the money
We ran up them digits, we ran up some money
We ran up them digits, we ran up some money"
It aint Nas or Mos but I think it's fairly "deep" in it's own way and shows Thug clearly has at least some level of creativity as shown by his ability to hop on songs from other genres like Jamie XX's I know there's gonna be (good times)

It's needed a reset for a long time. MFers singing instead of rapping. It's acceptable to be a fakkit. Just so many things wrong

nikkas really mad Kendrick won huh
Can you even call that shyt rap
he need to tell his son to stop speaking on rap.
All three got good sounding music and that is just what people accepted. It's crazy tho how people only care about lyrics in mainstream rap only if it's from Kendrick, Drake, or Cole.
The access to get into rap is so easy nowadays that anyone can do it if they tried.

Kiss is right.
But I think Kendrick helped to jumpstart this new reset we have going on right now. Hip Hop's always needed to crash and burn before we get the quality back out of the culture. We take sh*t too far to the point where we have to rebuild again. That's how we got all those classics in '98. When sh*t starts heading in the wrong direction, Hip Hop has a way of burning everything down and building back up with classic sh*t.
I have a feeling that we're in that kind of transition right now. At the beginning of it. This is when the wack sh*t starts getting killed off, and the standard starts getting higher. It's like Nas said, this the "dungeons of rap, where fake n*ggas don't make it back".
Watch.
