This year has been great for hip hop so far. I've haven't heard any trash lately and it looks like things are getting better.

Lots of dope albums been released lately. If only the mainstream can reflect this though....

I don't th mainstream will

With so many newer rappers actually being complete artists and being able to sing as well as rap basically having a melodic sound and singing the hooks them self as well as more and more actually singing in their verses hell yeah
And u have to give credit to the likes of Eminem, Bone Thugs, Z-Ro, Devin The Dude, ? -C, DMX for paving the way for this for the newer rappers like Rich Homie Quan, B.o.B, Wiz Khalifa
It's creativity rappers that are actually artistic>>>>>>>>>>> -

? that got airplay was still flashy and materialistic, about females/? or of little substance. U get those exceptions to the rule every now and then.
Hit the googles n check the top 100 radio songs of every year and what were those songs about?
The genre evolved but is still the same. The generation that gets older ? on the generation coming up. 80s cats did 90s cats the same way. The cycle continues. -
Other than bronson album, I havent been disappointed so far

Are these guys equal to,
early 80s; Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee, Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Spoonie G
Late 80s; Rakim, KRS, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Slick Rick
Early 90s; Ice Cube, Snoop, Treach, Tupac, Method Man
Late 90s; Jay Z, DMX, Biggie, Ma$e, Nas
Early 00s; Eminem, 50 Cent, Cam'ron, Jadakiss, Ludacris
Late 00s; Kanye West, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Drake, Ghostface
Seriously, do you think the guys you listed can hang with the GOATS of other generations? -

When i say fave i'm talking about as far as song making, melodies, personal connection to the music, just musically they as well as some of the melodic rappers u named like Eminem, 50, DMX are what i like as far as hip hop the whole package. But as i said in another thread for me song writing>>>>
But i will be the first to admit Nas, Jay Z, Rakim, Biggie, Ghostface, Treach, Bigg Daddy Kane are the best lyricists ever
But people listen to hip-hop for different reasons u gotta remember not everyone favours technical lyricisim first
It comes down to taste and what u look for in a song -
In the mainstream no, nas and em are the last 2 greats still in the mainstream, everybody else aint really doing ? to impress.
-
I'd say it is.
The fact it's not the biggest genre sales-wise means that cats get to be more creative with their efforts. The different venues available for music distribution (soundcloud, spotify, etc) mean artists aren't beholden to major labels either. The future's looking good. -
Yes it's in a better place than it was in 07 - 10 when the south was running ? with their garbage and bootleg teddy pain autotune. There is really only one direction to move from the dumpster and that's up.

Why does anyone truly care about airplay In 2015, with the internet and being able to find music on our own these days I feel like it's less important
The end of last year and begining of this year has put out some quality material...a bunch of us remember the impact of a lot our favorite rappers, well there's a whole generation looking towards the likes of krit, Cole, and Kendrick as their scarface, Jay-Z, and ice cube
I think if the promising new artists keep putting out good material then hip hop is on an uptick from where it may have been a few years ago -
overlookin legit lyricist for clown shows
