One of the standout tracks on this mixtape.
I thought this was an album. What't the difference between an album & a mixtape if this is a mixtape?

I be asking people, lets say the last 5-7 years how much has hip hop advanced? How we consume the music has and business wise things have advanced but the talent and skill of rappers? Umm. Through out the 90's and 00's things advanced because hip hop was very young but at a point around 2014, 15 and 16 things stopped. Being a great rapper, having a high skill level never goes outta style though. From the 90's to now. That's why Griselda is poppin.
Hard to tell the difference nowadays. I would mixtapes and albums usually have different approaches when it comes to the type of production used.I thought this was an album. What't the difference between an album & a mixtape if this is a mixtape?
So we’re assuming pac and big would be relevant these days. Hell relevant in 2010….. also assuming the elite from these days wouldn’t be…..
Hip Hop has DEFINITELY advanced. Y’all lying if your saying it hasn’t.
But like Sports, and another BASKETBALL analogy…the greats will be greats in any era. Like Bird, Magic, Mike, Kareem, Wilt etc still top 10 players. But that don’t mean the game ain’t advance and people can’t knock them a lil further down the list.
We need names
even if he did name some current artist/projects that are technically better than prominent albums from the “golden era”, you and people like you would never allow yourselves to see it bc of nostalgia and the pedestal youve placed those albums on over the years.
its not even about the actual MUSIC for alotta people. its about “xyz is what im supposed to think and anything outside of that is sacrilege”.
s*** is not automatically better just bc it was released during your formative years.

Production has most definitely advanced. Along with the base rap flow. The current standard flow for a long time now has been the “Migos” flow, whereas in the 80s it was basketball is my favorite sport flow. Thank God for Rakim, BDK, and Kool G Rap changing that.
EDIT: yea “changed” is a better phrasing than “advanced” like trynafeelmink said
Advanced backwards.
Your sports analogy is sort of trash, because players are more talented and athletic now, because of individualized skills being practiced and honed.
Now lyricism which is supposed to be at the center of being a rapper is at a early 80's level, because it's about having a good time and having fun.

^bruh i think you’re focusing on the youngsters/trap sound. Im not really talkin about them.
im talkin about the rappers that we currently have that are about 35+. The dudes that are the current progression of said “golden era”.
.... football for instance ain’t advanced IMO. I still ain’t seen a mfer do what DEION and Barry Sanders did. The rules are also different. The NFL promotes passing and offense.
Basketball might be different. Even with baseball. I ain’t seen a dude comparable to Barry Bonds or Ken Griffey....
like I said, hip hop has advanced in popularity? Yes. But as someone said, the consumer has regressed, as have the rappers.
I think dudes need to separate changing and advancing. ****s is going to naturally change. You'll see a 2021 car and the technology is going to be far more advanced than something from the 1960's. Will they long for that 2021 like people do some cars from the 60's? Will a car from 2021 still be drivable in 2070?
Football now is pass focused, not run focused.
I still won't see better highlights than Earl Campbell, Barry, Walter Payton.
The way y'all want to do rap music, I hate to think what you dudes would do with Marvin Gaye, Stevie or even Prince and Michael Jackson.
Would you say some **** like it's time to take them out of the top five?
Do you even educate yourself on them?
Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come, that **** doesn't apply anymore?
