2017-2022 ain’t been that bad, y’all just love complaining and being stuck in the past. We’ve gotten hella quality albums from top dawgs and hella artists that have become mainstays for many people
The quality overall definitely dropped after 2018 and especially when the pandemic started but we still got some classics in that time
It's slowly getting better too lately so we will be fine
if we talking peak drake commercially, 2018 washes 2016. he was at #1 for 29 weeks that year, most of any artist ever.
also was an amazing year for rap in general:
i could keep going
TLDR: rap fans got fed that year

00s washes. Peak Ye, peak 50, peak Em, peak Jay, peak Usher, peak Luda, peak TI, peak Wayne, peak Jeezy, OutKast, Snoop, Cube etc..
Not to mention pop was top tier and rock had its last legs of mainstream success too. If anything the 10s are the decade with the least amount of timeless music. Pop dried up, rock is dead, rap is declining. Only this current decade looks on par

It isn’t bad but there’s just a lack of mainstream diversity nowadays like you cannot deny that. Majority of the people in @ops list literally peaked in this time period too.
Name a better era in the 21st century
To be clear, 2000 is considered part of the 20th century, so 2001 onward.
Anyone is just gonna say the best years were the years that they were an adolescent in.
In 15 years, 35 year olds are gonna be saying their favorite era was 2018-2023.
That’s just how it goes. There’s good stuff in every era though

People just forever stuck in 2011-2015, sad to see
New gen is so bad

kanye has his biggest song since 2011, produces daytona, and drops kids see ghosts and ye
What? No song from him in 2018 was bigger than Famous/FSMH from TLOP
Also Yeezus had Black Skinhead and Bound 2

speaking charts wise “i love it” was technically his biggest since 2011 (yes i know tlop songs didn’t chart high because of tidal release)
Nah this is probably just the time period where you were in high school
Got this thread out the way quick

That's what people wanted to listen to in 2018 and people still pretend it was a good year for hip-hop
The fact that JT's FS/LS, Nelly Furtado's Loose, Fergie's The Dutchess, Beyoncé's B'Day, Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics, John Mayer's Continuum, Amy Winehouse's Back To Black all dropped one after another from June to October in 2006.
Beyonce's self-titled is her best album, Christina and Fergie were never all that, Continuum was cool but it's not holding up to the best from 2011-2016.
Back to Black, FutureSex/Love Sounds, and Loose are incredible albums but nobody was ever denying that the mid-2000s didn't have slaps. There's just more pop slaps between 2011-2016

I'm talking about the music
Drake 2011-2015 was insane musically. He's good now but back then man Drizzy was just at a different level
