I used to be a big hip hop fan. It was the first genre of music I got into when I first "got into" music. First album I ever bought with my own money, during the 6th grade, was Talib Kweli's Train of Thought(Reflection Eternal), second was Mos Def's Black on Both Sides, and third was, naturally, Black Star.

From then on, I got into De La Soul, ATCQ, Pharoahe Monch, Organized Konfusion, Wu-Tang and their solo stuff, Common, The Roots, the Pharcyde, Del, Hieroglyphics, Outkast, Gang Starr, DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, MF Doom, Nas, Mobb Deep, Big L, Az, Jeru the Damaja, Dead Prez, Biggie, Redman, Public Enemy, Masta Ace, Rakim, KRS-One, J-Live, People Under the Stairs, Atmosphere (lol), etc

basically mostly classic, underground, and NYC hardcore hip hop (which is weird cause I'm from LA but I never was big into mainstream west coast hip hop)

I never have a desire to put on any rap to listen to anymore, but if someone (or like a store, gym, bar) plays the artists above, I'll generally enjoy it. But new rap? It's garbage. Even the "good ones" like Kendrick Lamar I dislike. I hate his and most every current rappers' voice, flow, and beats.

Last and only hip hop album/EP/mixtape from the past 7 or so years that I liked was 1999 by Joey Badass. What's weird is most people who're nowhere near as big a hip hop fan as I was can find plenty to like about current rap. Me? None.

Redman doesn't really fit in with your tastes, but I'm guessing you like him because you like Method Man. Shabazz Palaces is something you'll probably like. They just released 2 albums and have a nice discography so far

How does it feel to be stuck in the past? There's plenty of good artists today, Kendrick Lamar included.

thats strange, because I honestly think hip hop is the best its ever been. we went through a rough patch like 5-10 years ago, but now even main stream rappers (like Drake) are kicking it up a notch and sound really fucking good

I don't have to insult you. I have proven that you are a hypocrite and a fool. That's not insulting you, that's exposing you.

Kendrick is the tbh, I can't imagine not liking GKMC and TPAB at least but to each their own. Honestly he feels like the closest modern rapper to the 90's golden age.
Tech N9ne is someone I'm saying more for style, flow, and technical ability over raw substance, but he has that too thrown in his discography, especially when he mentions his personal struggles with religion and stuff. Aww Yeah? Off his last album was good.
Joyner is more on the substantive side but his exact sound and flow might be on the on the lighter side of what you like, that'll either make or break it for you.

Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, and Tyler The Creator are all contemporary artists that I feel have plenty of reasons to be liked by most people.
