i will give you that bro.... about the good songs, but the fact of the matter is, is that there are way fewer good songs now a days...... you got good beats and catchy hooks with no real skill to back it up.... at least 15-20 years ago there was more skill presented even if the song was shitty as a whole..... theres almost no more storytelling ability anymore in mainstream just a bunch of niggas that can rhyme the end of their lines..... and its really sad.
