Why 2017 Was So Legendary (For Rap)

2017 is often referred to as the best year ever for hip-hop. Thanks to the rise of a new generation of talent, streaming platforms such as SoundCloud, and with so much great music released... 2017 will go down as a legendary year.

2016/17 is where i really found myself music wise, X, Ski, Trippie and Juice really made my taste to what it is now and opened my eyes to the whole underground genre at the time and I still follow the current underground to this day.

im start realize that what made that era so special is that everyone had their own sound were bringing new sounds to the mainstream which is something i feel like were missing today

'17 was quite the legendary year, i literally think about this year everyday

[KingTaylorScoot]

2015-2019 was the best years of rap in recent times

[mattyballz]

[wickxd]

[hobo]

I was crying out of nostalgia while watching this. I miss 2017 so fucking much

[hillbomb]

damn actually crazy how many goat albums dropped in 2017, still got so many of these in rotation

[onsight]

Im glad this era of rap is getting the recognition it deserves. It wasn’t the most lyrical or intelligent but it was definitely the most fun.

[mateoconnor]

Honestly 2016/2017 was some of the best years we've gotten in general 🤷‍♂️ and music was definitely at its peak in those times aswell

[sillycat]

I remember when Lil uzi and Carti first started to blow up shit was crazy

[xsyllvr]

This era was so special for me. It's during a time in my life where I was trying to find myself, my style and what I like. Highschool was mostly a miserable experience but the music around this time period will always bring good memories.

2017 was my junior/senior year n man was it a time to be alive, i was 17 w no worries in life n now i'm 23 expecting a child soon. these days now r good but times were simpler n way different back then

[javveyprod]

bro the iphone 6 example at the start was literally mine in 2017😂 same background and everything

[tkyouastar]

it took me until now to rlly think like damn X was only 19 while at the top of his game, nvr rlly thought abt how young bro fr was

[balazs]

It was a transitional time. From all the older rappers that we were very familiar with, a wave of new rappers came and took music and rap/hip-hop by storm. Genre defining period and I feel lucky to have been part of it.
