@dj qb I did and do, actually, there is no inconsistency, a lot of modern and not that modern hip hop artists are quite good. Skepta, Stormzy, The Streets, Kojey Radical, Dizzee Rascal, Context, God Colony`s artists, Ram (from Russia), they all have something massive to show, but GZA`s album is still the bestest in my top, the reference from the (36) chamber of weights and measures. I appreciate your oppinion and I`m glad to know that there are big wave of rappers on a scene who wouldn`t let hip hop become a music for old farts.
