Glad this thread is back. I was wondering if anyone else feels these beats of today (post 2k5) are missing something? What is it exactly? Maybe I am just too old, but I just cannot get into 99% of current rap, as I can't stand the beats, or heavy focus on bass. I can't put my finger on it, but the closest I can state is that they are missing heart and not telling a story anymore. G-funk spoke to you by the instrumentals. Horrorcore, the same. Southern/midwest rap had their own flavor. Rappers made the lyrics fit the beat. I know little of the Miami bass sound of the 90s....is this an extrapolation with the added east coast vocal style (flow + vocal tone)? I am not trying to belittle anything, I am glad people like it, but I am just trying to understand why I don't anymore. Much respect. VPV There’s not as much as thought and effort put into rap as there used to be. Same stupid subjects (b*tches and hoes, the club, drugs, money, sex), talentless mumble rappers, and overall laziness are all major parts of rap’s rise to prominence, but also it's downfall in quality. Gone are the days of guys like Tupac, Biggie, and Eminem being in prominence, and in are the days of trash like XXXTentacion and Lil Pump. There are some up and coming rappers that are talented (NF comes to mind), but all the talent out there is outweighed by the trash. Until this whole trap movement stops, hip-hop will be in the dumps for a long time.

Unpopular opinion: I actually liked the couple Cardi B songs I've heard. I enjoy Bodak Yellow, and enjoy the remix with Kodak even more I haven't heard that one yet. The ones i heard so far.

The boys from Brockhampton are just too good.
Saturation 1 and 2 were great and Saturation 3 is looking good from the two songs that I’ve heard from it.

Anyone watch Ice Cube’s new video?
Video Editor: “What special effects would you like?”
Ice Cube: “Yes.”

Anyone else checkout that Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana Great stuff It’s an album of the year candidate for sure. My favorite songs are Massage Seats, Palmolive, Flat Tummy Tea, Giannis, and Education. I don’t think there’s a bad song on the project though.
