I mean how many of today's artists can really be the diamonds of the past without the necessary pressures and restrictions of previous eras? modern music is made with a heavy assist from modern technology and computers.
It's not about how the music is being made or what the influence/direction of the music rather It's who is making that music. I believe that the quality of mainstream music is so low because many of the artists are not genuinely artistic or creative. A label can find a good looking model, put him/her in a studio with the best writers and producers and still get a lack luster product but it will still sell cuz of the marketing and budget involved until it eventually flops
Thug and a few others pushing boundaries. The rest of these bozos making the same s***
I love thug but he has NOT been pushing boundaries with his recent projects
people still refer to Silk Sonic as 'Bruno Mars'. Nobody outside the internet really cares about Paak
who refers to silk sonic as just “bruno” I have not seen that at all
nothing too drastic yet, wait until we get to 2024/25 to start seeing massive changes
Detroit & Flint, Carti’s WLR, Young Thug & Future, sLums/Earl, Da Baby, Griselda, Kodak/NBA Youngboy, XXXTentacion influences

Yeah idk how people are eating it up. The themes and flows aren’t even that different. First thing I hear is the beat I guess that’s why I’m not digging it.
Nothing has changed since 2018/2019 at latest
Trap is way different and there’s way more drill
Nothing has changed since 2018/2019 at latest
