    hip hop good

    the current sound is just getting stale

    compare a beat from 1990 to 2000 and it's a different genre

    compare a beat from 2000 to 2010 and it's a different genre

    compare a beat from 2013 to 2023 and you probably couldn't tell the difference aside from maybe some more elaborate song structure (which you can thank Travis Scott and probably Mike Dean for making trap beats progressive)

    in all irony the lack of centralized media has really crippled momentum towards new sounds and styles; people without direction often wander where they're familiar

    it'll change up soon though. watch Drake spit on a Neptunes or DJ Premier sounding track and people will d***ride it to high heavens and everyone will contort themselves to the new paradigm

    Ok but this is cherry picking. For the most part a 2023 beat still has way more to it than a 2013 beat. People still rapped on Boi-1da & mustard type beats back then. 2013 is pretty much right after the lex Luger era and a little before the metro boomin era. I’d say Mike will made it was the biggest producer at the time but just getting started. The sound def has changed allot but the blueprint is still being utilized, yes. You could compare it to sampled beats and drums in the 90’s and the fairly simplistic drum styles of the 2000’s.

    Idk tldr: I think there’s been enough change since 2013 in production

    yeah agreed, it’s definitely evolved but relative to the other decades it’s not early as drastic of a change

    i’m not ashamed to parrot what everybody else has been saying when it comes to the death of monoculture because it’s true. if you’re an observant person and old enough to have some hair on your balls, then you know that s*** hasn’t really progressed when it comes to mainstream music. it’s just one big circle of old ideas that are tossed around with a new coat of paint.

    why go out of your way to listen to new music when the algorithm can feed it to you? it’s pretty sad to say, but it’s true. people are comfortable with being complacent and once they experience that, they’re not gonna be willing to explore what’s around them

    this is how things tend to play out unfortunately

    when something new comes out early iterations are drastic because it's like a space race and theres more room for innovation

    and then things become stable

    its like how we havent seen an exciting iPhone upgrade in a minute

    it goes back to the idea of complacency really and i get it…if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    but just because it ain’t broke doesn’t mean it ain’t rusty
