    Like the Wale/Charles Hamilton generation. The blog era of rap when s--- like 2dopeboyz, okayplayer, etc was at its peak

    Really f--- with Denzel Curry and Cordae lately.

    Side note: blog era rap will always be my favorite. Shoutout to XV finally making a project for the first time since 2012 lmao.

    Side note 2: I remember YG opened up for Wiz and Snoop back in 2011 and he brought out Meek Mill in Philly to do Im A Boss. Pre-DC2 meek at that. Was legendary

    ZUU was f---ing dope. Probably the only new generation rap album that I liked. Other than Revival of course.

    forgot to mention Maxo Kream but you should definitely check his latest album out. I think you'd probably like JID and Saba. DaBaby is absolutely worth checking out if you havent already. If you're willing to venture out a bit then give YNW Melly a chance, his first album - I Am You - is sensational

    'current' generation is hard to describe cause people are listing guys like kendrick and cole
    when they're not from the same time as father or ilovemakonnen
    and theyre not from the same time as guys like uzi or 21
    and theyre not from the same time as guys like ski mask or lil peep
    and theyre not from the same time as guys like 6ix9ine or lil baby
    and theyre not from the same time as guys like blueface or dababy
    hip hop moves really fast these days and a word like generation casts too wide a net

    Exactly this. The rate of change is so fast these days you can have entirely new generations every year. I guess that’s what XXL has been trying to tell us lol.

    I see 30+ people on here calling eachother fa----s and watching cartoons, and 40 year old rappers (and people in general) posting things on twitter so age isn't a thing anymore :)
