I personally hate all these new silly artist purely for the lack of talent. It doesn't take any skills to come up with some trash like that. Real talent and hard work are a thing in the past according to this new, modern, shitty music industry. People get record deals for the stupidest songs. Theres real talent and people that are dedicated to what they do whom are out there. Check youtube for example, theres tons of artist on their that have actual talent. They write poems, meaningful lyrics with a message. I like those songs because I can relate to them, I have a connection with it. Old Eminem is the perfect example. He rap'd about his life, his hardships, the good but mostly the bad. I grew up listening to him and really related to a lot of his work. His new stuff is still up to par lyrically but the beats are his rapping style are changing. My bad for such a long response, but it's just how I feel. These talentless artist disgust me.
Basically, old music is 1000x better than this new shit, and I think artist like 2pac were the truth. They can never and will never be replaced.
Thank God someone else thinks this way. All the new rappers rap about cars, money, bitches, stupid shit that doesn't matter, when all the old school rappers rapped about the truth and reality and what they had to do to survive while rapping, and ACTUALLY living in the streets hustling and shit.
