    Probably early 10's I would say 09-12. Not much quality released in that period except from a few great albums. 2016 been pretty weak so far too. Early 90's, 90-93 wasn't too great either except for a few albums...

    Meme rappers aren't a real thing and people need to quit pretending they are.

    If you think meme rap is real and you're under 25 you're a f---ing nerd who doesn't actually have any friends who listen to relevant rap and assume everything that's popular on the Internet is a joke (which in itself is a bad meme.) I can excuse guys like myers cuz he lives in another country and isn't in tune with what the youth find interesting.
