With pluggnb being as popular as it is producers are starting to combine the smooth 90s style melodies from this genre with actual 90s style drums instead of the typical trap plugg drums. combine it with melodic soft autotune vocals and you got a template people like drake and lil uzi could use as inspiration
examples

with the recent nostalgia wave of the 80s I think this is the next step

Drake, Summer Walker, Hit-Boy have been doing this on their latest releases.

id take this over another drill song that samples the McDonalds jingle

Summer walker is a different style to what I'm describing, and I don't remember drake hopping on these typa beats but hopefully he does it cuz he fw the underground

Does some of the production on Take Care - the most defining rnb/hiphop project of the last ten years - not fit the description of “modernized 90s style rnb production” in hiphop?

Like we already seen it lmao, plus every rnb artist and producer that took direct influence from it and is still going strong (ie Summer and her producers)

Brother... are you 14?

the way he stans Yeat and hates on Kendrick he must be

Feel like you’re a little late to this convo

my bad , i didn't read the rest of the post.
I'm pretty sure theres been songs like that.

Body - Summer Walker
Drake - Fire & Desire

just off the top

they been doing it in rnb I'm talking about mainstream hip hop, seems like the only mfs doing it rn in hip hop are the former pluggnb mfs

This guy called regular acoustic drums "90's drums"...

that's a whole different sound they pioneered but its def influenced in some way, shoutout 40

great songs but they fall more into sampled 90s rnb songs with trap drums subgenre that Bryson does.
if you listen to the songs in the OP they sound super different to those songs.

if anything lawsy resparked a interest in this style
hotel blew up like crazy I can see a wave similar to the 80s wave in 2020 with these beats

Holy f*** those pluggnb songs are ass

you old

Which songs?

Casual music fans really have no idea about s*** lol

Had a friend who thought the drums in trap beats were played on a actual drum set

I'm almost at the point where I think "mainstream hip hop" is just synonymous with "trap" and it won't ever change

underground hip hop is trap too

Need to learn this style

It's not synonymous at all with underground trap though, like If you say underground hip hop a lot of people might immediately think billy woods

i could see how tbh. i've seen motherfuckers use their electronic drum set and load up the samples to the drumset and just play. I think it's pretty cool. but yeah your friend don't know s***.

they call it sexnb for some reason
its just pluggnb melodies with drums from a timbaland kit from reddit s***s crazy fire tho
