Honestly, when was the last time Chuck D had something interesting to say about the contemporary rap scene? I do hope there's an answer to this question. I'm not disputing his historical importance here, just wondering about why we should listen to his critical insights in 2015.
Anyway, I posted this in the other/old thread so I might as well chuck (ahem) it in here as well:

i meant it more in that i genuinely would like to see Chuck D's list and just saying someone else's is bad without suggesting other records really helps nobody

except that making a list of records, or naming literally even one or two, is a lot easier than making an album

actually industry plant works bcuz the thread was originally named after an (organically grown) LCD rap trend given that liking such was a minority/contrarian opinoin at that poine on the internet. in 2016 every music writer is going to be jacking off to 21 savage so liking industry plants is now the minority/contrarian stance.
