Vinnie Paz is top 10 all time as far most influential rappers and he won't get his just due because he never fully broke through as a pop artist.
Shit is sad.

The synching with cartoons like SpongeBob were admittedly funny. Though more dubious was watching nerdy white guys trying to dance the Soulja Boy.
that's actually double platinum, my brother, but that's what dr. yakub don't want you to know

J Coles career is sad
Gucci really is top 10 most influential tho that's a hella easy call to make. Dude is beasting too ever since getting out of jail. Best verse on champions, one of the best verses on my name is Jeffrey too

Jeffrey the best thugga project since the barter so that's cool. Possibly better, his flow is flawless. Harambe is super saiyan thugga

Tha Shiznit may be my favorite Dre beat, or at least up there. Whew!
Honestly, if you think Hip Hop is dead NOW, you should just stop listening. It won't get better than this, and this is coming from the dustiest dust head. At no time in Hip Hop did we have so many different styles, flows and blends of genres. You have your Kendricks, Thuggas, Chances, Yachtis, Azizis, Gibbses, Denzels, Browns etc. all at the same time. How is this bad?
Watching that video, some good points. People always forget that we only remember and play the classics from the 90's, which skews the perception that there was only good music back then. Also obviously there was a larger threshold because artists at least had to be good enough to get a studio session and record professionally. Now you get thousands of unfinished, unmixed tracks every day on the internet, that you have to sift through and curate more to find the gems. No gatekeepers anymore who decide more or less how the current sound should be like. People decide now what's hot.
You know when Hip Hop really was, though? 2006-2011. In retrospect Nas might've been right, lol.

Nah, 2006-2011 had good stuff, despite Soulja Boy being the face of rap.

yeah it's incredibly out of touch. to say that there aren't more than like 2 (or whatever low arbitrary number) current rappers right now that are good. with all the music at their disposal too, from mainstream to indie.
whenever i hear that i just think people are being willfully deaf or have just moved on from the genre itself.
I think I asked the same question last year, but can anyone name 10 great albums from those years? I'd actually say that MBDTF started the "new era" in 2011 (late '10), just as a reference point (it's not even that much of an all-time classic for me).
Below the Heavens
Game Theory
Food & Liquor
What else?
I agree with you, but there were definitely more than that.
Graduation, The Cool, OB4CL2, KRIT Wuz Here, Pilot Talk, Bastard, Man on the Moon, Live Love A$AP, etc.

renegading only really happens when it's rappers of comparable popularity and skills.
