I’m not even boomer or a “get off my lawn” type, shite just sounds like loud noise..

To find anything of decent quality you have to dig far underground.. Hopsin, Freddie Gibbs, Logic, etc are good. Some of Tyler the Creator’s stuff is okay. Other than that rap as music seems like it’s dying on the vine.. it’s devolved into beats with mumbling and yelling. No substance or meaning

I guess Rap died around the mid 2000’s? Maybe earlier?

I know I’m getting older but the mumble rapping just isn’t in the same league as the west coast hip hop of the 90s or the down south stuff from the 00s. The beats and crafting of the songs just so unimaginative and repetitive now in comparison.

Rap died in the mid 2000’s and even that stuff wasn’t good.

What you have out there today is image and expensive production.

Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are worth a listen.

I know I’m getting older and I’m no longer part of the target demographic for any genre of modern music, but I’ll be damned if most of it doesn’t suck. It’s just not good!

Oh yeah, these are great lyrics...

I got my black shirt on
I got my black gloves on
I got my ski mask on
This shite's been too long
I got my twelve gauge sawed off
I got my headlights turned off
I'm 'bout to bust some shots off
I'm 'bout to dust some cops off
I'm cop killer, it's better you than me
Cop killer, frick police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your family's grievin' (frick 'em!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, haha!
I got my brain on hype
Tonight I'll be your night
I got this long-assed knife
And your neck looks just right
My adrenaline's pumpin'
I got my stereo bumpin'
I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'
A police stopped me for nuthin'!
Cop killer, it's better you than me
Cop killer, frick police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your mama grievin' (frick 'em!)
Cop killer, but tonight…

This type of shite is partially why we are where we are as a society.

P.S. - Get off my fricking lawn.

Not to mention those lyrics are from Body Count, which was Ice-T’s ROCK band, it’s not a rap group.

By "modern", if you are talking about pretty much every single rap song released in the last 25 years, I'd have to agree.

In his defense, those lyrics are better than 98% of the stuff coming out now

Modern rap, as well as most pop music, are just dumbed down garbage for teenagers and imbeciles. So much in common with hair metal and bro country. Zero substance.

Tom MacDonald is pretty popular right now. He put actual thought into his lyrics to deliver a message.

I’m not gonna lie. I used to live in this camp. But damn. I keep finding stuff I like. I mean brockhampton, RTJ, spillage village, freddie Gibbs, droog, JID etc etc on the alt tip.

But I’ll be damned if I don’t like Polo G and Da Baby and Cudi and a ton of other stuff. I dunno. I was old and cynical but I’m comin round.
