I wasn't a fan of 2Pac or Biggie during that time in High School.
Run DMC I thought was boring.
Yooo, now I'm excited.

Went once through Birds in the Trap... it's aight? A lot seems to sort of blend together or doesn't sound that interesting with way back, goosebumps, pick up the phone and lose being the standout tracks for me. The thugga adlibs just make me wish he took the helm on this project instead. I also liked hooch and yeah yeah better than most of the songs on here. Maybe it'll grow on me over time, not sure. Kendrick feature was 
hew:
Now gonna listen to the new Isiah Rashad.

Alright Gaf-Hop. Help me find some good dark, grimy Trap influenced music. Bonus points if their music is on Datpiff.
This. DBR is one of my absolute faves of the last few years.

The new Goodbye Tomorrow that Des posted months ago was dope, too:

it's definitely not as cohesive and theme driven as Rodeo was, but even travis was proclaiming that this is just the mixtape and Astroworld is going to his next album
He said that last month though, so idk if he changed his mind or not

Cool, I'll check out everything I suppose, though I'm not a Gucci Mane fan. Probably skip those mixtapes.

I always thought Lil' Ugly Mane was black.

catchin up
for real? nelly ain't put in work on that pop-rap lane?
you mean that album with the welcome back kotter sample, and not much else though?
for real, shit was dark ages but he kinda held the crown during the laffy taffy era
#2WOKE
it really is, i revisit that one a lot - shit is also a fantastic intro to that BCC/DITC type shit
32 minutes, though?

there's a lot going on right now, but mainstream is doubling-down on what's already largely considered a disposable genre...outside of drake/drake-lites, a lot of the radio sound right now down here feels like the rap game equivalent of nu-metal
highkey one of the best tracks on a classic album
you make a good point, but there's a downside to the lack of gatekeepers too - culture vulture fuckery and shit like yachty/logic/etc get passes where they ought not, but that might just be me
also if you really think the people are deciding what's hot and not clear channel/etc...ehhhh
2009-2011 particularly was some exciting shit for the genre though, especially coming off a rough patch...gaf-hop was kinda born of that too
some quality anime gifs about but fuck i love golgo 13, he's that dude
fixed for us weebs

Mase was beast with that comeback and then disappeared like houdini once again lol. btw I believe he still is working on a new album

Yeah, I meant excluding 2011 actually, which I would call the "start" of the new era. 2011 was when I got back into Hip Hop again through Lucky Me/Rustie/Hudson Mohawke radio mixes after a hiatus of 3 years or so where I mainly listened to obscure JRPG soundtracks and Electronica like Silkie, Machinedrum etc.
And yeah, maybe there are other gatekeepers now, but still, there's stuff that we never would've heard back in the days because it wouldn't even get through labels. What would you call the modern kind of gatekeeper?

Lil Ugly Mane didn't ask for this.

yeah, we all went through stages of ditching hip hop/branching out i think
mid aughts did it for me, but honestly the late 90s/00's i was mostly out of it too, the No Limit era was like a perfect time for me to explore other sounds
came back years later and decided i mainly missed out on juvie & mannie fresh, still bump them
....damn, this was better
