with artists incorporating singing more and modern pioneering in vocal mixing into their ability to mold rhymes, do you think modern flows are vocally the best/most diverse they have ever been?

no

No

Actually yeah but they aren’t necessarily better vocalists

post examples

fr because I'm not really sure what OP is referring to exactly lol

Thank God for autotune/melodyne/pitch correction

name some mc's who were better vocally back in the day then someone from today

Yeah I think so.

WLR best vocal performance from a rapper in a long time

dis what im sayin, the youth goin crazy wit how they coming across vocally. s*** hits different

Snoop, biggie, DMX, ODB, Pac, Dre, ghost face all had elite delivery, charisma and vocal presence and could go head to head w anyone

Diverse yea you can say that

It sounds like you just prefer singing and melody to rapping, cause if there’s one thing that’s declined over time in hiphop in the last handful of years it’s the vocal performances

And in no way are flows rn are the best they’ve ever been in hiphop lol

Ofcourse, the technology is doing most of the work. You can record studio quality vocals on a usb mic now days

i love rap i'm not talking about pen game/lyricism, but strictly variety of flows and styles/quality of vocal performance/mixing and engineering

I’m talking about flows and vocal performances - they are not the best the genre has ever seen rn.

And ofc the mixing is gonna be better, that’s because of technology

i agree these are all incredible lyricts/performers, but compared to all the other rappers who weren't so influential in their era they are outliers. in the game now their are way more flows and lanes than their used to be

I think biggie flows better than all these guys today besides 13-15 thug.

alright name a era/rappers from a time period then

i can concede to biggie but i'm just asking y'all to look at overall. and u real for that comparison

lowkey thug is one of the main reasons i made this thread

Real. Thug was on some other s***. You could see his impact because more half of the new generation are influenced by him directly

yes, simply because there's probably soooo many more artists now. maybe mainstream isnt as good as it used to be in some people's opinions, but vocalists in general gotta be better now right?

No that would be found on E 1999 Eternal
