In the 90's hip hop was good. Real good. Artist made sure what they put out was fire. They spent time in the studio and put their hearts in that shit. Nowadays, artist put out stuff that is wack. The love for rap is gone with these new artists. They just want to get paid and really don't care if it sounds corny. As long as the money comes in , they are alright with it. Back in the days you would never see that. Hit after hit and the best rap ever was in the 90's.
