It has come back into mainstream popularity since then but objectively speaking it's garbage. Mumble is fun when you are drunk and partying but serves no other purpose to me. The worst is people who argue it is superior to "old rap" and give a blank stare when you mention the likes of Nas.
I have a buddy who is a DJ who gets really heated when people criticize Mumble lol. Makes sense as it goes hand in hand with partying.

Agreed.
Hip-hop died a while ago.
I haven't listened to the radio in years.
Can't forget about
Big L and
Big Pun, legendary IMO.
Actually,
Fat Joe's early albums were pretty darn good too, got that flow.
Nas' early works were also pretty good.
And then, there's the unforgettable
Mobb Deep.
