Rap just isn't what it used to be...

[Creation]

i would agree with you 3 years ago, but now?? hell naw
even back in the 90's people said rap wasnt what it used to be, the music just evolves
& also, even in the 90's there was shit rappers too

we've got Lil Wayne? Lil B? Big Sean? Waka Flocka? Soulja Boy? Don't get me wrong there are some good rappers out there but it's a far cry from what it used to be.

You Named 5 Bad Rappers, Here Is Some Good Rappers

J.Cole
Hopsin
Tech N9ne
Slug
JellyRoll
Chamillionaire
Kendrick Lemar
Lupe Fiasco

& i can keep going,
its hard to impress me when it comes to rap music, matter of fact, for the last couple of years rap was horrible, but people tend to focus on the negative,
at the end of the day it comes down to opinion

these rappers are ok. But opinion/taste or not. A list with pac, biggie, nas, jay-z, dre, snoop, eazy, big L, Guru, az, wu tang etc is 10000000000000 times beter, and thats the true. Nobody can say its not , even when you have another taste.

Thats the same when saying a Peugot car is faster then a Ferari.

Ofcourse there still good rap these days, but the 90's were incredible, and had so much more talent.

Why did you pick out some of the worst rappers in the game, excluding Wayne? Change the channel/station if you don't like the artists. No one is making you listen. If you're going to bring up rappers of this generation, bring up the ones moving the game forward: J. Cole, Drake, Wale, Kendrick Lamar, B.o.B, Lupe Fiasco, Pusha T. They need time to find themselves before you compare them to rappers who became legends over a few albums.

Id add wiz khalifa, nipssey hustle and glasses Malone to that list

Of course there are some talented guys in the new era.. but it just doesn't feel the same anymore, i woudl give my left nut to hear a new song that can give me the feeling that "100 miles and running" gave me back in the day.

rap has become garbage, i cannot take any new school rapper seriously.

Have you listened to el-p or aesop or even immortal technique? If you don't recognize lyricism and straight knowledge from any of that then your expectations will never be met flat out. There have been independent artists putting out great music since the 90s. Immortal technique would shit on almost everyone from any era.

Once again mainstream rap is wack but if people can't recognize the talent and lyricism in some of these independent artists that have been doing there thing for over a decade than your bar is set too high and will never be reached.
