Jan 3·1 replyI don’t think the production styles of today really go as well for it. Just a different vibe. Lots of 90s hip hop was built on funk/R&B samples that are just more “musical” than the beats of today. Just way smoother to just let the beat ride.

people love beats that are minimal these days. not even just minimal in the sense of not that many sounds, either. we still get beats with a million melodies and drum sounds, but beats like that will then be super repetitive and keep the loop short. it lets the artist get more creative and really make the song their own, which i fw. but it also means that an instrumental hook doesn’t rlly make sense. but I don’t think that’s bc producers are less talented these days, it’s just that the sound has shifted.

Smacked VoodooThe attention span of today's rap listener is equivalent to a mentally challenged goldfish so if your hook doesn't consist of repeating the same three or four words or adlibs you already lost them and they are on to the next track.

yungkingRappers realized they didn’t need an R&B/Pop singer to crossover simple as that lol.

Doesn't make sense. Because EDM is one of the most popular genres in the world and it consist almost exclusively of instrumental hooks/beat drops. Blinding Lights, the biggest song of this generation, exploded because of its insane catchy instrumental hook.
Edit: you did say rap listener. So rap listeners just dumb as bricks/impatient?
EDM hasn’t been truly mainstream since like 2015

I remember this guy
His username was El something else, think he was a PSG supporter. Another user was trying to tell him "You're Mexican? You can't use that word" and he got heated. After they went back and forth for a few posts, he told that user he can't do s***, he's going to put it in his username
