Modern rap for me. Kendrick is my favorite rapper, with GKMC being my favorite rap album of all time and TPaB being my rap AOTY. Him aside, I think the talent pool this generation is enormous with so many different styles. J Cole, A$AP Rocky, Chance, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Killer Mike and El-P, Joey Bada$$ (tbh the last album was meh), Earl, Vince Staples, Travi$ Scott
that's just the premier rappers I like. There's still so many out there, not to mention all the underground talent.
Before dissing this generation of rappers, listen to Kendrick's whole body of work. If you don't like it, move to J Cole. If you don't like it, move to something else until you find something you enjoy. And then find out their style and look at others who are similar. There's something for everyone in this day's rap. I mean, it could be Yung Lean, but if it's something you enjoy, then that's cool.
Just don't be a defener
