There is good recent hip hop out these days
But yeah it is few and far between. I remember people saying how no good rap came out in the late 90's but looking back on it now there are some gems that stood out.

Good new hip-hop to me at least, would be People Under The Stairs, Q-Tip's album and mos Def's album (no matter how much of an arrogant prick he is). Admittedly you could say those three alone are recreating the best of the golden era, albeit with a modern edge.

I guess it's just hip-hop's overall sound these days that is so different (read: shite) compared to back then...

I'm in a PUTS video for about 0.1 seconds, along with my 'pal' Yeti

Nice
Which one?

Also in my post, I put 'these three alone'; I'm not trying to say they are the only three albums that are any good in that, FYI!

Except the first track, it'a a bit shit TBH.
