I'll say Drake is on that wave to becoming great.

I saw the potential too,Ima take it you haven't heard the bad news....Dude killed off the 100's pimping thing and became some fake azz Prince exclusively...So I think he don't even rap no more.
well that's a bummer
I hope it's just a Snoop Lion phase
No. the focus is on being fukking mediocre and generic so that you can relate to other generic/mediocre people.
When it comes to flow, atmosphere and sonics, 90s rap is still so far ahead of today's generation in terms of creativity. Yeah, y'all got better equipment and 'mixing' I guess, but most of y'all aren't doing anything mindblowing in the sonics department that makes me go "wow, this is so hip hop but in a different world." Not even close. Your shyt basically sounds like disposable ghetto pop techno.
You think Young Thug, YG, Future, Drake, etc are good sonics? To me, that stuff is straight garbage.
Here's the thing though: I understand your point because it's the reason I listen to Lil B and Rocky, especially Rocky. Y'all really think I'm sitting there rewinding Rocky's rhymes?I already know his shyt is hollow. I've said this a million times. But sensitive nikkas always neglect that part and rush to call me 'stan' when they feel threatened.
I LOVE Rocky's sonics/flow. Same with Lil B. Because that cloud rap shyt is unique as hell to me and it fits my personality. I'm not out here trying to convince you that their rhymes are amazing.
If cats said, "yo, I love Kendrick's sonics. I fukk with his vibe." I wouldn't have an issue with it. Some people like that Atliens/Aquemini sounding shyt. It speaks to them, and I completely respect that. In fact, the only older rap fans I know that fukk with K Dot are major Andre 3000 fans. They like the fact that Kendrick reminds them of Outkast.
But don't tell me that Kendrick has these next-level rhymes, he's GOAT material and that anyone who doesn't see this is stupid. That's just insulting.
You're not fooling anyone. nikkas know.
So are you blaming the rappers for catering to their audience ? Or the audience dictating and supporting only artists they want to hear ?
Either way it's down to personal taste and your lofty standards. I can appreciate 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s without the need to compare eras since they are all unique in their own right.
The fact that in this day, it's easier to make/distribute music means the competition is greater, add decreasing revenues and sales .....I really don't get why you continually sh!t on the new school besides your whole ( I want the 90s back angle )

you're fukking drunk if you dont think Freddie, Curren$y and Kendrick arent great. you dont even have to like them, just respect the fact that all they do is drop fukkin heat, and have the reception to back it up. there are hella people that drop shyt i know is great, but i dont fukk with, but even i respect the fact they are legit good. grow up and accept that shyt, because what you're doing is just childish.

i wouldnt call travis scott GREAT, but i will not lie, i have not heard a bad song from him, and he dropped two sick ass mix tapes.
Future, ye, thugga, cudi clone.
Dope beats but bar for bar he isn't special
I enjoy his music but he isn't amazing
Days before rodeo was a good mixtape...solid 8/10 ... but he isn't amazing and his bars are nonexistent
His vocal effects and beats, imo, carry him

Never listen to music by young people unless it was made 20 years ago.
