Benny just floated on the second song, Buffalo really got the whole state on it's back right now, can't decide who I like more between Conway and Benny now.

i love lil baby.

i think most of us are older NY guys. a lot of us hold onto that classic NY approach and sound. i like a diverse array of hip-hop and have tried to at least understand a lot of the younger guys. i've also accepted the shift to atlanta as the epicenter of black media and culture. it is what it is.

all i can say is keep speaking up for the other stuff you like. the board gonna do what it do. i appreciate all the stuff that gets shared that i don't know about. most of us were "put on" to our favorite stuff.

i like uzi too. i need to re-listen to lil baby's new album. my expectations were really high and it didn't grab me at first. but i see he went with a more sentimental touch. i appreciated that, but i didn't feel the bangers.

some young(er)/newer guys i fugs with: lil baby, gunna (drip too hard might be my favorite song of the last 5 years), roddy ricch, dababy, uzi, a boogie... feeling lil durk's new approach more than his older schidt. and i wouldn't call myself a polo g and lil tay fan, but "pop out" is my schidt.

on the more heady side, i'm feeling cordae, all them cats on dreamville, saba... i'm sure there's more on both sides.

my wife is a major traditionalist. so she gets bothered by how open i am to listening to the newer ****. sonically it's just not for her, which i completely understand. it's been an adjustment for me. but i just look for high quality stuff that sounds like effort was put into it, no matter what. i think older heads have a hard time finding the artisty in less lyrically dense and topically diverse rap music, which i understand too. clearly there's stuff i don't see, but i also accept that i'm probably not supposed to get it. i'm damn near 40.

I listen to all those guys you just mentioned as well. Roddy Ricch stands out the most cause his style is different than pretty much everyone. He's gonna be big for a long time
Theres a lot of new guys that just sound like garbage to me like Lil Pump, Blueface, etc. They dont put no efforts in their songs and it sounds very repetitive with no substance. They make my generation look bad lol

I agree that once you get older it gets harder to understand the younger people though. It happens with every generation and I am sure once I get older I will be doing the same thing

I didn't know Da Baby had the kind of support I've seen in this thread. I live in a lily white conservative region in NorCal, and Da Baby is the rapper all the middle school/high school white kids whose parents begin sentences like, "look, I'm not racist, but..." listen to. I'm not trying to be funny at all - that's what I've known him for (well that and the WalMart shooting & IG bravado back and forths) since I started hearing his name.

On another note, I came here to post this visual which is more my [old head] speed. RTJ released it a couple of days ago, and it's great. Got Greg N-I-C-E to rep his sample, and the end with Preemo is just fire. The whole thing is crazy beautiful and made me bop and smile for a minute in this madness we've got going on now.

it's not really about east or south to me, it's more the sound of the actual music. i actually like different sounds but when it gets too commercial it aint for me. like i liked 21 savage's first mixtape with red opps & skrt skrt but eventually the music changed and it wasn't for me as much. i understand though, get that money.

anyway. right now i like duke duece from memphis. he's signed to qc. i don't feel like too many people in ny are aware of him for whatever reason.

Just got done with the vibes of Jill Scott and Erykah Badu (along with 730K other people), and Verzuz wastes no time in dropping this in the aftermath:

Read on Twitter

Off top that seems like Luda easily, but I think Nelly's banger catalog might be deeper than that.

Just finished up with Luda/Nelly and Swizz and Snoop are on the Live talking about a Busta vs Snoop matchup...now THAT is a party/celebration! WHHHHEEEEEWWW, Busta probably technically "loses" but he has a DEEEEEEEPPPPPP catalog that will have him in every single round.

Snoop also talking about Cube vs LL...
