Modern hiphop is hated because of nostalgia bias. They're forgetting that the 90's and 80's had lots of novelty acts and one-hit wonders that didn't work out well either.

And that most rappers back then rapped about weed and sex as well.

I don't understand why people always make this argument any time someone constructively criticizes a current artist. We get that every generation had their share of mediocre acts or bubble gum acts but there is an undeniable increase of them in today's mainstream compared to previous decades.

Bone thugs talked about weed and sex too but I would take them over somebody like Lil Wayne or Drake because at least there was some level of artistry behind it.
