There is no nice way to tell somebody they like Childish Gambino.

"Sir, you may want to take a seat for this. Having looked at your records, we can confirm that you like Childish Gambino. We'll do all we can, but it may be terminal. I suggest you spend some valuable time with your wife and children. I'm so sorry."

Lol I prefer "mainstream" modern hip hop to any other type or era

I've been listening to a lot of Death Grips recently. I don't really know what the BEA consensus is on them (if there is one), but I think they're amazing. If you look past their abrasiveness you can find the most incredible lyricism, it's unlike anything I could imagine on a hip hop album:

"Dismiss this life, worship death
Cold blood night of serpent's breath
Exhaled like spells from the endlessness
In the bottomless wells of emptiness
Channeled to invoke what we represent"

Listen to modern hip hop albums on my chart

I don't know, I kind of dislike most of the "golden age" hip hop artists, so my preference is definitely in the newer stuff, but I can see how people say the old stuff is better.

However, if you say that there isn't good hip hop still being made, (which I'm not saying you are) then you're not looking hard enough, there's still plenty of amazing hip hop albums. (the top 2 albums of the 2010's on RYM are both hip hop albums)
