Today's generation doesn't have a single GREAT rapper

[Tommy Sheppard]

starlito one of the best of the new generation easy. he talk greasy and drop jewels, gives you the ups and downs of that street life nikkas is so hype to live. but i feel like most nikkas wont notice lito til its too late

+rep, one of my favorite rappers right now and he drops nothing but solid cohesive projects.

 

[southpawstyle]

OP talking like an old head but I bet he's not even 18 yet.

Shut the fukk up, nikkas are OKAY... Tupac was GREAT, RUN DMC was GREAT, KRS ONE and PUBLIC ENEMEY was GREAT, Jay-Z was GREAT.

Older heads will always be on some back in the day sh!t

[GrindtooFilthy]

now I know your taste is shyt

I can't believe someone actually typed this sentence

travis scott is amazing, he has flow and his producer skills is off the chart.

keep thinking rap is only about bars and lyrics, there's more to it than that.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Trying to think of great 90's babies rappers.....

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

The focus has gone from lyrics to sonics and flow.

and this is what it really comes down to, op doesn't produce so he probably doesn't understand. sonics is now a big part of hip-hop

 

[joeychizzle]

The thing about modern music is that you're exposed to everything of today, along with the literal ease of access - streaming, torrents, etc. So you probably hear more bad shyt than good shyt. Not to say there isn't anything good, obviously.

And then you must consider that only the best music of an era survives. The wack shyt is forgotten and the cream of the cop is immortalized. So you only remember the illest of yesteryear.

Furthermore, personal tastes play into it heavily.

It is simply illogical to apply an umbrella conclusion that ALL modern day rappers are wack.

 

[JuvenileHell]

now I know your taste is shyt

smh at him sneaking Travis Scott in there...saying he's "amazing" to boot

 

[kaldurahm]

I actually agree. Some good rappers but no one that's imo. I liked the Kendrick album but bleh

 

[bdwind01]

No one has stood out from the rest of them to me and I dont fk with drake so i just like a hot beat dont care about whos on it

 

[Higher Tech]

Yall won't appreciate it until it gets worse. There are some super dope artists out there. Gibbs is my favorite rapper of this gen. KRIT is a very close second. But without the media push telling you about their greatness, they just fade to the background.
