I saw Oddisee and Blu mentioned, those were probably the last rappers that I liked, but I was not thinking of them as new artist in 2010s…

What i meant about Lil Wayne is that almost every rapper coming out was influenced by him… i know that’s probably not accurate, just my impression


Some of the others mentioned I have heard before but will take a 2nd listen such as Roc Marciano, Earl sweatshirt, open mike eagle etc. I forgot about Freddie Gibbs, but I can only take so much of his music, I mostly just listen to him when he works with Madlib…

But as a someone said, i guess i got older and the latest hip hop doesn’t appeal to me as much.
