IMHO.... Rap has been on the decline for the past 10-15 years. I am a huge fan of old school hip-hop but the new rappers just aren't cutting it. I buy about 20 albums a year and could not tell you the last rap album I bought. It was probably Del the Funky Homosapien/Amp Live's Gate 13 album (2018) with a couple of singles here and there. Rap is dead.

Exactly, when I listen to RAP I wanna hear some actual LYRICS, not a bunch of indecipherable gibberish!!!
Even "Speedy Rappers" like Tech N9ne or Busta Rhymes can still be ~understood~ despite the high amount of words & syllables they manage to fit into a short song. But the Mumble Rappers got me like "The hell did he say????"
Example:
Playboi Carti - Flatbed Freestyle
.....................................................
Here's what ~I~ hear.
Lyrics:
Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh!
Buh.
Buh buh buh buh!

And now for something GOOD.
GREYDON SQUARE -- PEACE, PEACE
.....................................................
...me, I get lost in the music /
Apart from the foolishness I dodge as youth in /
A locked institution /
An animal, far from the humans /
80’s garbage tossed in a huge bin /
... the universe was art for the viewin' /
We are one now but I was scarred in the union /
Every runner up has a Starks and a Ewing /
You just play the part of the chewin'... /
...It’s like, i’m livin' a part in a movie /
This is the scene where I’m sparkin' the doobie /
With the audience arguing and booing /
Partying and mooning /
Grabbin' sexual partners of their choosing /
Why so serious? You won’t be here that long /
And since I’m not, I choose to spend my time makin' rap songs /
...maybe hit the glass bong /
Try to enlighten with music while hopin' that people latch on /
HOOK:
The bottom looks even worse when you've seen the top /
...what we blazin' here is nothing, you should see the crop /
Watch another take his place when the leader drops /
It’s only what you read about, "peace" us when see us out /
Peace peace!
Try to remain in control when you weave the route /
I don’t care if she thinks I’m ugly, music thinks i’m hot /
I don't need to be a star - I just need a spot /
That's why whenever you happen upon me man, i’m peace’n out /
Peace!
.............
Ask people, I’m an asshole when it comes to music /
And i’ll remind -- it comes before you like there’s nothin' to it /
...not doing what you love is foolish /
On the cusp of stupid /
Why would you not, when you love to do this? /
...my dedication you could never doubt /
...Can’t keep a girlfriend, but I can keep putting records out /
These days, i’m only focused where my flow goes /
That’s why i’m no longer nice - to women that I don’t know /
On the road so, much things tend to move in slow-mo /
But so quick - you couldn't take a photo /
Just hit em with the pound G.U. logo /
How far down you wanna go though? /
Load the ship - we now leave for Qo’nos /
That’s why our final gig was a no show /
Cuz we were doin' warp in the promo /
Tryna get as far from the ozone /
As you and your crew are - from a dope flow /
After leavin' our mark on the whole globe /
