You taking it too literal man. Ppl just tired of hearing copy paste s*** with a slightly different vocal delivery over the same beats lol

people are replying saying navy blue and s*** but i think what op meant were these 20+ track albums where its just autotuned freestyling on a selection of beats which barely differs from their last project and is forgotten about after a couple months. that to me is quite different to someone like Push.

I'm a huge Future stan but im already dreading his first new solo album in nearly 2 years having the same f***ing producers and features bro. He gets a slight pass cuz he pioneered the style but still

Youngboy has rapped over a 90s r&b sample before

42 duggs feature on Tyler’s album was straight weak compared to his actual music. He’s a great rapper. Tyler fans hyped it up because they never heard of him or gave him a chance prior to that song

This is terrible

Hip hop is a reflection of its listeners
It’s commercialized and homogenous now because that’s what the masses like
If it were still niche we wouldn’t be having this talk

Basically nothing will change until the listeners change and they won’t because corporate America has stepped into the culture now

future’s music from 7 years ago sounds fresher than his s*** from 2 years ago lol, that tells you all you need to know.

Big disagree
Proper mix and a few tweaks would go a long way tho
What do you dislike about it?

Billy woods album is better, and he's like 44/45

Id buy this but I mean just look at Porter. Electronic music is even more homogenized and focus tested than hip hop is, yet he went out on a crazy limb and made a massive departure from his previous work to cook up something new. And he's a major, major artist in that scene. There will always be 1 though I guess. Hope Kendrick delivers

This is groovy af, sounds like some s*** Kendrick could slide over

I was more so talking abt that dude saying WLR is aging well when 2 years is not enough time to say something like that, we're literally still in the same era of production

AOTY LOL

I don’t get it but hey different strokes

Falconia soon come

Beat just doesn’t match the pocket gunna raps in. A more animated rapper would be better on it. I feel like rappers choose beats that match them for a reason.

This absolutely matches Gunna IMO dude has a really nice laid back voice and that beat compliments it nicely

Rap

I’m not too tapped I but o electronic rn but I don’t feel like it’s as mainstream as hip hop is at this point. Like you got rappers doing food commercials and McDonald’s combos n s***

Electronic has that awful festival s*** but for the most part it seems like a niche enough genre. Again, I’m an outsider so that’s just my perspective

Also, artists who have made a name for themselves in the past are sorta “grandfathered in”

I don’t see a newer rapper getting the same leeway as a kendrick or drake would have back in the old days

I think the last decade spoiled fans. Rappers being super innovative nshit doesn’t happen that often. U mentioned Kanye and it makes sense cause he’s a producer.

I think we give rappers too much credit and blame. When an album that shifts the culture is released that’s really like a WHOLE TEAM effort. From the A&Rs engineers producers to rappers have to be on the same page. Then u Gota get the label to accept it.

Idk to me it sounds like he’s floating on it he got his own lil pocket and everything. It even has that signature smooth gunna sound but just a new production style

Like I said with proper mixing, I’d believe you if you told me he went in the studio to record over this

Maybe the mixing and maybe it’s just cause I really like the song they used even tho most gunna fans hated it lol I had it on repeat.

But gunna had some 90s R&B samples on ds4 and he will prob keep going in the old sample direction because his producer Taurus has been previewing s*** like that lately.

I know a lot of young producers and I always tell them it’s on them to push the sound not the rappers. Producers set the tone. I don’t put blame on rappers shoulders like that. Idk

Big agree, rap is all about production after all

Push dropped mid and its not even close to album of the year
