[uh-oh]

Mainstream hip hop has been mainstream hip hop as long as i can remember. While there was no limit and cash money into the laffy taffys and petey pablos into theblah blah to mumble rap to etc

Before i was sentient enough to follow it there was plenty of wack shit too in the early 90s

Every era has dope people that make it through

There were like two pockets of time when the dopest shit was actually dope. LL/run dmc in the 80s and biggie and pac in the mid 90s

Every other era had immense heaps of trash rising to the top

You are just old and out of touch with what is dope to 13 year olds and think what was dope when you were impressionable is what everything should be. Its life
