I read an interview with Young Thug where he straight up said he didn't like Jay-Z (?!) ... He "recognizes his influence" but that "wasn't his era." And in a lengthy editorial I found on Flipboard not long ago titled something like "The Old School I Killing Hip-hop," some kid ranted for several paragraphs about how Wu Tang Clan and Tribe and Biggie didn't matter anymore, saying that the current marble-mouthed jibber jabber of Future and Young Thug represented an all time peak for creativity in hip-hop.
Sorry to get off topic, but I felt compelled to point out that "boom bap" is probably already considered as ancient as the Eagles.

I meant ALL the boom bap, the very concept of hip hop, a beat and a rhymer, will seem as dated as a jug band or a harpsichord.
