Pusha T has been consistently putting out good albums and EPs over the past 5-7 years.

Alchemist & Roc put out an awesome album last year.

Danger Mouse & Black Thought's collab last year was really good.

Lots of rappers in their 40s and 50s are putting out really quality stuff right now.

Rarely have I been more embarrassed about giving up following music than just now when I discovered Danger Mouse and Blackthought collabed?!?!

Eminem has released some pretty crazy shit recently

I agree. I feel like a lot of criticism Em gets is more due to hype backlash than anything he objectively does wrong.

Of course, I think he has misses like Revival, Recovery and Encore. But most tracks he puts out have been enjoyable to me.

Even those albums that were misses had some good tracks on them

RA the Rugged Man’s last album was pretty great.

Ghostface is still dropping fire, Deck is making awesome underground albums with Czarface and Method Man'a guest verses can still body any rapper on their own song.

In essence Wu-Tang is still alive and kicking.

Latest Czarface is probably the best thing they've done since those first three albums.

>When’s the last time an older rapper released anything decent or inspiring?

I mean, when was the last time a younger rapper did?

Sorry, trying to convert me to be a face-tatt'd xanax addict isnt really inspiring.

at least update your rap stereotypes to be more current than 2016

Cool, maybe update the genre so the stereotypes stop applying

the xan addict face tat rapper hasn't been commercially viable since like 2019 outside of a few big artists who blew up during that era
