I try!!! tysm 🫶🏽

gosh tysm... I could use some of that right now tbh

Honestly I'd be lying if I said anything other than the 2010s. Ik lots of people have nostalgia for the bling era but I never EVER fucked with a lot of that shit, so going from that being the primary sound of hip-hop to the emergence of trap, cloud rap, and the alternative hip-hop explosion was such a breath of fresh air. The proliferation of social media and music hosting sites like Soundcloud, as well as easier access to music production tools, led to imo some of the best music of the past 25 or so years.

Growing up I deadass just didn't think I liked hip-hop unless I was listening to the big east coast names from the 90s and early 00s like Biggie or Nas. Obviously there is always good music around, esp hip-hop (my current favorite hip-hop album and 6th favorite album of all time, Madvillainy, released in 2004), but I think the 2010s were such a landmark decade due to that perfect confluence of technology, sociality, and hip-hop being about half a century old at that point.

It's a dhost
