I was angry at the general disdain for current rap... then Jester dropped a bomb of classic tunes. Current rap has definitely been influenced by its success, and there are definitely ****ty rappers out there who rely on catchy hooks. If you are willing to sift through the bull**** artists who are only in it to make a quick buck then you will find a treasure trove of great tunes, no doubt. The advantage we have today is that we can look back in time and see that the 80s and 90s and identify the influential albums. We don't have the same perspective today, and to call current music "overproduced and s***y" is to ignore the simple fact that the music is just different.

I apologize for the somewhat bad english, I am a little drunk.
