Artists/people: YBN Cordae, J Cole, Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Jay-Z, Denzel Curry, Wu-Tang, Outkast, DMX, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Biggie.. Lyrics: Rappers Born In the Wrong Generation, even when Cordae was with YBN, his flow was pure 2000s like early J. Cole meets Lupe Fiasco. He name-drops Nas, studies Jay-Z, and actually cares about punchlines Denzel Curry sounds like three eras at once. he’s influenced by Outkast, Wu-Tang, and Rage Against The Machine. if he came up in the 90s, he’d be moshing at underground rap shows with DMX. if Kendrick Lamar had dropped good kid, m.A.A.d city in ‘96? he’d be listed right next to Nas and Biggie by default. the storytelling, the skits, the full concept albums are crazy #rap #rappers #shorts Description tags: rappers born in the wrong generation cordae lyrical rapper denzel curry rap style kendrick lamar storytelling modern rappers old school rap evolution moments 90s rap influence real rap fans only lyrical rappers 2025 hip hop throwback energy rap storytelling masters rap legends influence cordae rap skills denzel curry lyrical good kid maad city legacy shorts rap rappers music cordae denzel curry kendrick lamar shorts viral rap short video lyrical hip hop rap fans vs trends
