Does modern day rap really "bump in the whip" harder than older rap? After a whip test, the answer is... (80s not eligible for this thread)

90s' styles:

2000s:

2010s:

2020s..TBD

I'll give 90's production the whip test title. NOTHING to this day bumps harder than hard 90s production. 2010s a bit too 808's heavy and every "hard" beat sounds the same. Though I'll give the 2010s the title of best overall(diversity of production, more influences) and 2000s the worst of the 3. Drums took a bit of a back seat during the 2000s (Neptunes and Kanye influence). 2000s rap/vocal performance might've been the strongest out of the 3--with the 10s being a wasteland of wasted beats smh. 90s best combination of great raps over great beats.

90s=10s>>>>>2000s production wise.

Discuss :word:

@Brave ?

Actually agree with 90s=10s >> 2000s

Yea sounds weird but the 2000s was the most joyful time in hip hop. Beats were sunny, more pop influenced. People were making happier music. 2010s the “make that s*** dark” era and the 90s are just legit hard af in and out of studios lol

Crunk era was crazy tho

I would say the 10s but the 20s been kinda stagnant

90’s because those drums had soul to them. Even if they were played on an MPC or they just straight up sampled the drum break instead of chopping it up. Boom Bap had character to it and even to this day when used right it works so good. @op the neptunes had hard ass drums bruh lol. Kanye struggled with those. But anyways Havoc’s drum are so impeccable. I can see why Kanye wanted to emulate him or Pharrell but Q-Tip’s drums are something else also.

90s on average but the 10s have higher highs.

90s production came from the heart and had the most variety but 10s were when students of the game began mastering the commercial and experimental sounds to a science - big credit to Kendrick, Wocka Flocka, Tyler and ASAP Rocky for that. 20s feel like we’re in another decade of experimentation so far, which could be attributed to the ever expanding and accessible industry of music.

90s, 2000s & 2010s the holy trinity

I was born in 96 I am not bias at all bro trust me

On another note I dont like a lot of 2000s Rap (these days) but I like a lot of 2000s production

Truly the 90s

s*** got crazy past like 5 - 6 years

Yeah I agree the 2000s were incredible in just about every genre.

Neptunes drums hit but the beats were usually more poppy, especially the hits back then. Whereas 90s drums just felt raw af

Imagine BIG or Pac over that "Go" beat from that Huncho Jack album sheesh can even hear the BIG "uuhhh" at the beginning in my head

Facts but we can’t deny their beats were still dope as f***. All the Clipse s***.

2010s for the variety

Then 90s for the quality, but not much variety

Then 2000s because a lotta mainstream production sounded very cheap

2010s not even close

10s>90s>>80s>>>00s

2010s with 2000s right on its ass

2010s
