2017 best year in hip hop since 90s?

[mdunlap3]

Tons of crraaazzzyy new music this year....don't recall a year like this in a very long time. Thoughts?

[firekillex]

would literally say its probably been the worst year of hiphop lol
all these new rappers have 0 lyrical skill and just mumble some dumb irrelevant shittt..
dont get me wrong i like some migos songs for the gym but lil yachty, 21 savage, xxxtenction some of these guys are straight garbage its actually laughable , flows ass,lyrics are worse

these freshman xl classes past 2 years been so garbage ive seen people freestyle at parties better then these dudes... props to them for getting $ but literally 0 rap talent

2010 era with young money , kanye and that stuff was the best music imo , skill was involved and it was good party music

[mdunlap3]

Broooo the new music from the established guys like Kendrick, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Joey Badass, Drake, Future, Bryson Tiller was sooo dope..

Then I guess I am just a sucker for the new music....I penetrating love the music from the newbies like Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Yachty, Migos, 21 Savage, XXXTentacion, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, NAV, Noname, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Young MA, Travis Scott, Tee Grizzley, PnB Rock, 6Lack, KYLE, etc...........

I am ALL IN bro lol

[mdunlap3]

Magnolia - Playboi Carti
XO Tour LIF3 - Lil Uzi Vert

Two songs of the summer.

i feel you with all those top artists you named i like all them... joey badass cant be slept on and the new rnb these days is the best imo with bryson tiller, dvsn, trey, chris brown etc etc

i just cant fck with the new artists for some reason i like migos and young thug is in some decent tracks that pick up the phone song is fire... but 21 , xxx, yachty, kodak i dunno i just cant do it haha , salute to them for getting on and making money i wont hate on them but its not for me..... travis scott he has true talent i like those kinda guys example Russ guy produces his own beats, writes his own track, sings, raps , engineers thats a true artist in my eyes , same as Tory Lanez hes a beast

Russ - penetrate I slept on him, he's really talented as well. Tory is nice too, reminds me a lot of Bryson Tiller.


Bro. Let me share a Spotify playlist with you of the top tracks from some of these young guns. See if I can change your mind.

Mannnn I remember back in the day whoever was the best freestyler used to be the top rapper in the game. My how things have changed. Will certainly check it out. Freestyling a dying art sadly.

A lot of people confuse the phrase "I could care less" with "I couldn't care less". To say "I could care less" means you have some level care so it doesn't mean what people are trying to say usually.

In this case, "I couldn't care less", although accurately saying I have zero level of care about this year in hip hop, isn't quite accurate because it just conveys being uninterested, but no level of disgust that i feel because hip hop actually exists and is called music. However maybe being disgusted does qualify as caring, so "I could care less" might be more appropriate in this situation.

As boring and unimportant as my previous statements may seem, they are still infinitely more ingenious and insightful than anything in hip hop from 2017 or the 1990's.

Lol, not a fan I guess. It's like folk art to me.

[firekillex]

jazz cartier nice to... the one thing ill say is toronto music is the best its ever been by far...
drake, weekend, tory, jazz cartier, dvsn

check dvsn if you like rnb that shit with a girl is the best you can get.... amazing beats and vocals

[mdunlap3]

DVSN is sooo nice. Severely slept on. I remember my colleague introduced me to him last year. Also, don't forget about NAV, he's a Toronto freshman in the game. Got some reeallly nice stuff.

[Jimmy Proffett]

It doesn't seem like any of the new rappers can put together a good hook/sound and meaningful lyrics together. Like this Magnolia song posted in here; I like the beat and all but the lyrics are garbage. Then you have guys like Tyler, the Creator that have amazing lyrics but just bizarre background beats that make it hard to listen to.

And that DNA song sucks too.

ill check em out never heard of him
dvsn is the truth though.. live music he sounds the exact same which is a diamond in the rough these days

belly from toronto la leakers freestyle to, one of the best / deepest freestyles ive heard in a while

Agree Playboi Carti probably not as nice of a lyricist as Tyler, Earl, etc. But god damn that boy's mixtape is flames, and he's like 20 years old.....ridiculous.


Hope you're not talking about DNA by K Dot? The beat on that track though......

[mdunlap3]

Meant to be

We were just talking about freestyling, and then someone mentioned DNA. This happened a few days ago...a lost art.
This beat is so penetrating hard. MY god. Leaaakeerssss.

Kendrick Lamar, although pretty good, is so overrated it's not even funny. Saw him perform at Coachella...meh. All the other rappers today are ok at best but they're not as terrible as I thought prior to 2016.


Without Kanye producing (now that he's been killed), rap will die without another superstar producer.

Metro Boooooomin bro.

[firekillex]

yup that was on LA leakers as well, i went through alll the freestyles on there i like most of them
MGK , joey, belly were my top 3
2 chainz was nice

the one true freestyle on there was audio push from the bay they just go off the top , ton of skill hope they dont get slept on much longer

[firekillex]

[mdunlap3]

Yoooo the first guy who raps is fuuckin doooooope

[firekillex]

yup its sick how they just bounce off eachother, they have a ton of good freestyling videos
the first guy Oktane is my fav dude as well he goes offf

this newer guy rapping Joyner Lucas is amazing too, guy has some amazing videos of story lines with his raps one is the perspective of a $100 bill and how it passes through everybody and it comes back right where it started, or a story of a gang member who befriended some new guy in school and shoots him in the head with a shotgun and leaves him to die but he survived ( true story ) shows from both guys perspectives its pretty great .... plus he has hype songs for the gym to hes a beast of a rapper

[firekillex]

[mdunlap3]

Never heard of this guy, pretty dope. His flow reminds me a lot of Meek. Dope production. Going to give this project a listen for sure. Do you know if this is an album or just a tape?

[firekillex]

think its a mixtape it just dropped...
youtube his 2 videos more of a story , he has a lot of versatility

keep it 100 and ross capichinio

and his mask off remix is fire for getting hyped

[Jimmy Proffett]

I haven't been keeping up with any new music at all, especially hip hop. Been looking around and finally found a guy I like:

Don't even know how "new" he is. I dig this song and he did an updated version of C.R.E.A.M that's real nice.

[firekillex]

jarren benton is a beast....

[firekillex]

[firekillex]

cant forget childish gambino , hes a true artist. sucks hes getting into so much movies and tv stuff which i enjoy him in
but him as a musician hes a beast as well

[kidcudi92]

lol

no
tee griz coming up, he spit
playboi got nothing, just a product of being round the A$AP mob who found a mic and some throwaway beats

uzi doing well

yachty on top of the young
21 has his niche...whatever, not a fan
rae sremmeurd having a great year
but at the end of the day...

right now the trap hip hop scene is MIGOS and thats all there is to it


Rumors of surprise Ye project...a solo or cruel winter, maybe both

[firekillex]

kanye is the truth when hes in the right mind state
migos the only music like that i enjoy tbh those other guys are hot garbage
