Blog era was an incredible era of creativity, independence, and many different collectives and artists coming out

It’s the best hip hop era of the past 15 years overall

I was in college during the blog era
That was the birth of folks like drake, Cole, Kendrick, Wale, big Sean, Wiz, Spitta and others.

Shit was like a new golden age with how many folks came outta that time
