J Cole and Dreamville are great current artists, in my opinion. There are a couple that aren't coming to mind. Of course, most modern rap is shit, so I agree.
I saw EB & War at Statsop Check out all the bands that were there..... Satsop Riverfair 1971Festivivalhttps://www.festivival.com › Festivals › History
I still have the "4 Channel" version of the album of War "The World is a Ghetto"...unbelievable sound and mixing. And yeah, that list of bands/artists has many of the same ones that were at Woodstock. . .
War's live album in the 70s is one of the greatest live recordings ever! I saw them many times. They are now split into two bands with the main lead singer and guitarist and Lee Oskar having formed the offshoot band...I think it's called the Lowrider Band or something like that.
