    Hip Hop is far from dead. When 10 years pass alot of fans will look back at this time and consider it a golden era. There's more balance than ever, more innovation, and more artists to gravitate towards. There's something for everyone nowadays. I'm genuinely suprised OP has this sentiment when there's artists like Kendrick, KRIT, Chance, Earl, Vince and many others that are carrying the torch


    And Btw f--- all the dustheads dissing artists like Young Thug and Lil Uzi Vert. They flow at a phenomenal level and are bringing fresh new elements to the game

    dustheads are fundementalists, I'm on the fence because i grew up on 90s rap and it's the sound that always stuck to me most, But im finding constant guilty pleasures in this current era.

    I've heard all 4. Lil Big Pac is his best and thats a 7/10 to me. He has a 10/10 song here and there but his projects are always weighed down by filler. I won't write him all the way off until the debut though

    Please don't word things like Young Thug & Lil Uzi. I'm a Uzi fan, a big one BUT he can't even grab at Thuggers toes. Young Thug is an active icon and future legend not just in rap but music history. Uzi can never have the impact thug has. h--- Uzi gained most of his attention from Thug calling him sexy

    This.

    Without a doubt its a generational thing.

    I'm over 30, i don't like the new stuff. Does it bother me? No. I just enjoy the stuff i do like and legends are still making music. I got Dre in 2015, Snoop in 2016, i'm happy.

    We've been in a second golden age of Hip-hop since 2012. Why would we be worried about it? Anyone who says its dead is probably irrelevant. Even the older 90's producers in hip-hop would disagree.
