Best Boston mc is Mr. Lif. Alternately Guru who iirc was actually born in Boston if you wanna count him since he never claimed it.

Nah It's really gotta be Reks, Edo G, or Big Shug for best Boston rapper. I legitimately don't know if I would ever even think about Mt Lif again if you hadn't mentioned him. Termonology is pretty good too.

Boston is pretty awful for rap though. I guess guys in the 90s used to hate rapping in Boston because the crowds were way too rowdy and would get in fights with the rappers. I forget if it was Biggie or someone else but I know a rapper got the Diddy Steve Stoute champagne bottle to the head treatment at their own show and rappers pretty much boycotted doing shows in Boston. City still stinks for rap shows and rappers. And related, Benzino apparently had a lot of pull with Boston gangs and was significantly responsible with the crime rate drop in the 90s when BPD cracked down on crime

See, I've talked about this a some before here and other places, but what you call the "golden era" was to a lot of dudes from the 80's a bunch of violent, gangsta bullshit. Like dudes in the early/mid 90's was hearing poo poo from dudes who grew up on KRS-One and PE and Brand Nubian and stuff about how all their music was just about bitches and guns and stuff.

And of the dudes you mentioned, none of them are dudes I'd consider really amazing rappers. Pac is one of the most overrated dudes ever in terms of his actual music-most of his import is actually due to his image and how he was marketed. His music is actually pretty simplistic usually, not much different than dudes like Waka or 2 chains. Biggie had one amazing, era-defining album, and one shiny-suited bloated mediocre album. And had dude not died, you just KNOW Puffy was gonna have that dude selling out more than Snoop. Big L is famous for dying, and Big Pun was purely a pop dude (who was also mostly famous for dying, and being really fat). Like a lot of your opinion is due to that being what you grew up with-separated by a little perspective there's nothing that special about the dudes you named besides them all dying.

Like the thing about most "rap purists" and rap vs. "hip-hop" discussions is they break down into what people 1) like and 2) grew up with. That's why I always talk about rap, and not hip-hop, and why when I poo poo on rappers I try to stick only to their quality, not some "authenticity" debate. As for import to society, I can easily rationalize the stuff that you talk down as being nearly as important (and really, it was only how Pac was built up in the media that makes a big difference).

You're 100% true that a lot of dudes making music right now aren't very talented lyrically or in content...but that's the case back in the 90's. Like, the best stuff ends up standing out, and also just gets built up over time. Flockaveli is flat-out a better album than Makaveli was, but Waka's still alive making EDM to appeal to white dudes and Pac got shot playing gangsta when dudes who didn't buy into their own hype were wisely chilling with that poo poo (i.e. Snoop). Waka has all that story stuff entwined in his stuff if you listen, it's not just presented the same way. 2 chains does too (French is garbage).

Like what you like of course, and I'm not gonna say things are entirely the same w/r/t content and delivery but it's not nearly the big gap you seem to indicate.

They are easily the best rap group out right now though? Black Hippy doesn't do anything, A$AP Mob had an awful mixtap and can't even put together another project, and Odd Future...well...

All the one-off songs they've released since getting back together has been awesome and Beauty of Independence was really good. 50 can still hold his own, Banks never fell off, Young Buck makes Flocka and Meek mill sound like they're on tranquilizers, Yayo is still one of the most entertaining hype men and rappers ever, and Kidd Kidd has stepped it up considerably. One of the best groups ever.

Game will never be part of G-Unit again because it's way deeper than rap. He aligned himself with Jimmy Henchman who had Yayo's moms house shot up and the same guy that got Pac shot in 94. (edit: I misread your post and thought you said you thought Game was gonna be back when they reunited. Yeah it either could have been too crowded or made them easily the biggest rap group of the 2000s even though they pretty much already were)

Yayo wasn't always an eh rapper:

It's overhyped on the internet for sure. It's one of those albums that the really vocal internet music nerds love. It's a blog album. Whether it's intended to be an album that reddits hip hop section or not(almost certainly not) it really resonates with them for whatever reason (which is hilarious). It's angry, anti-establishment, "funny", weird, well-produced, in your face, which is everything internet weirdos love and aspire to be but aren't.

I can't think of a single person who was excited about Jay Z's samsung album (or honestly the 2-3 before that). I still think Jay Z is seriously overrated but that's not exactly a popular opinion I think.

Yeah that's why it sold 500k first week and went platinum after the million digital sales with Samsung. But Jay Z is irrelevant and totally fell off and no one really likes reasonable doubt and blah blah blah
