Jul 23, 2019 So we have the worst rapper thread. Who are the best Rappers? J. Cole Kendrick Boogie J.I.D Joyner Lucas Cordae Isaiah Rashad who else?
Jul 23, 2019 What's the cutoff for current gen? Guys like Cole and Kendrick have been around for over a decade now. If we minimise it to the last decade, then: Noname, Little Simz, Mick Jenkins, SABA, MIKE, Earl Sweatshirt, DaBaby, Ill Camille, JPEGMAFIA, Lil Uzi Vert, Maxo Kream, Vnce Staples, Smino, Young Thug, YGTUT, Young Fathers, Chance, Tyler the Creator etc etc. are some that have had tremendous projects that I've enjoyed
Jul 23, 2019 When I made the thread what this is based on I said current to avoid one specific name being brought up and make the thread derail lmao But yeah u can argue about artists like Cole, Thug etc but on the other hand they are very active right now
Jul 23, 2019 Since you said Cole, I'm assuming it starts somewhere around 06. Lupe Fiasco hasn't been mentioned yet, so that's my pick.
Jul 23, 2019 Hard to say what constitutes “current generation.” Cuz you have people like Future and Thug who are prob a generation prior at this point but have innovated into the next generation so they still feel very current and new. People like Cole and Kendrick I associate with the blog generation. I’d prob consider this generation anyone who had their breakout project maybe like 2014-present. Off the dome: Uzi Carti Greedo JPEG Saba Joey Purp Noname NBA Youngboy Rico Nasty Maxo Kream Isaiah Rashad Drakeo YG Kodak and Gates are kinda on the cusp as their breakout tapes were in 2013 I believe. Thug and Migos too. Future was a lil earlier but still massively important for this gen.
Jul 23, 2019 I guess if we had to try narrow down what the 'current' generation is, I'd say anyone who debuted/blew up in the past 2-3 years or so Melly DaBaby Greedo Gunna/Baby Megan Rico Carti Uzi Tierra Whack JPEG Saba Youngboy NBA Ski Mask JID Dolph 6lack 21 Savage if we're talking about the full decade thats a whole different story though
Jul 23, 2019 I cant fw most the new wave kats that came out in last few years. Most of them lack any originality and are essentially some kind of RIP off of future/thug/keef/migos. The rappers I fw with that blew up recently are more the traditional/raw hip hop type rappers like maxo/benny the butcher etc
Jul 23, 2019 Talking new gen and ignoring Cole and Kendrick and s---, here’s mine of the top of my head now; Joyner Lucas Joey badass JID Boogie Russ - (I don’t want to like him or like to admit it but I quite like some of his s---. He’s a cocky f--- tho)
Jul 23, 2019 i think its very difficult to say what's the new/current generation. With Em it's very difficult. He already is a OG but is still an topic in the current generation
