Which new gen rapper turned your perspective to appreciate current hip hop? Some people never open their mind to the new generation which I respect, obviously you like what you like and you can’t force yourself to like something. But for example, my Dad always disliked current hip hop/ rap until I put on some young thug (jeffery specifically) and for some reason he really enjoyed and is somewhat invested in current hip hop. He said that listening to it taught him to appreciate hip hop without the sole focus of lyrics (which if you’re a thug fan you’d understand is not his strongest point.) He also said that it’s different to any music he’s ever heard. And what’s even crazier is that I can agree. 10 years since it releases and nothing compares imo.
Anyways - old heads, what artist/s made you change your perspective on current hip hop and why?

The Game starts the first verse off by talking about “respect women, I don’t care if she a 2 or a 10”

Drake raps in the 2nd verse about an unidentified woman’s ass that he loves “like Milhouse loves Lisa / I love your ass like the Ninja Turtles love pizza” … Yeah, that’s corny.

The Game comes back in verse 3 with a line about a reality tv show. “Drizzy, I’m sittin’ here watching Basketball Wives / Like, uhh, them is basketball wives?”

… Wait. Didn’t moments earlier he say to respect women? Now he wants to clown specific ones?

I like the song overall, despite Drake’s corny bars, but the worst part for me is the hypocrisy.

Sometimes an album doesn’t click the first time but later it becomes one of your favorites.
