G.O.O.D. Rap

So it's apparent that the meaning of good rap/hip-hop music is ambiguous.  Here's what I think good rap music should contain: catchy hook, thoughtful rhyming, intelligent lyrics, and a beat that won't make the listener fall into a deep sleep. Here's what a lot of "rap" is nowadays: annoyingly repetitive lyrics with a somewhat catchy hook that eventually makes your ears bleed because of it's overuse, and lyrics that a 10 year old could understand. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good modern rappers who still make great music, some of which include Childish Gambino, Chance the Rapper (this dude is the next big thing), Kendrick Lamar (yeah), Hopsin, and occasionally Drake (although plenty of his songs are meant for swagfags with emotional issues). And then of course there are the legends who will always be the kings of rap like Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and the old Kanye.  Now this list contains 11 rappers, all of which had/have some serious talent in either producing and/or rapping, but there are countless other "rappers" who are popular for being catchy but whose music is neither dense nor meaningful. In other words these artists will not leave a legacy behind them. Rappers like this include 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Lil Wayne, Trinidad James, and plenty others that I can't think of at the moment. Without them though we would not be able to determine whether or not a song or artist has some quality. Contrary to popular belief I don't think rap is currently facing a depression, I think it's a time where new rappers are starting to make names for themselves.
