Kind of sucks because only a few decades ago the airwaves were filled with wholesome (not all) vibes from artists who actually were writing music to allow us to understand one another.

We'll see where this one goes.

thanks for your feedback a head of time.
I usually don't bash entire genres or movements... and I usually am pretty open-minded to mainstream stuff. But I couldn't agree more that mainstream hip-hop is in a very sad state. There are a couple of gems now and then, but the majority of it seems to be so-called RnB (which today means hip-hop without rapping) or... for lack of a better word.. hip-pop (yes I made a pun), which seems to fuse pop singing with modern hip hop production.
