Most of the time whenever the 2000's is brought up, it's always being compared to the decades before it like the 90's or earlier when I bet a lot of the music you like is from the 2000's. More specifically the earlier half of the decade, I listened to a lot of rap music at the time and it was pretty good up until 06 or 07 in my opinion, maybe the bad stuff is oversaturated to the point where they think the older years were better but there was a lot of crap even back then, you just don't remember it.
