Importantly, this is true of the music in the past. There's ALWAAAAYSSS been a biblical plague of truly SHIT music to filter out.

OmegaZen
nah the ratio of bad:good music is definitely skewed more to bad as more and more content is readily available.
kkanne20
yeah, it's garbage. there's good music being made every year going back to the dawn of music, but you'd never know it listening to the radio
Okay grandpa let's get you back to bed. /s for real though young ppl don't use the radio.
Eh. Even then there are good radio stations. Always the good classical music radio.
unluckyandbored
Odds are good ONE company owns over 75% of the radio stations in your city.
Even XM is really hit or miss depending on the channel
OriginalAndWitty
Cumulus or iHeart radio. Absolute garbage; and they sync ad breaks so you can't even change to change to find music. All ads.
iHeartRadio is owned by the same company that owns most of the radio stations in the US. So yeah it's gonna be just as bad.
cjandstuff
And they don't care what is playing as long as the advertising dollars are coming in.

Growing up in peak hip hop with Dre, Biggie, 2pac, Jay Z, Eminem will do that to you.
applesforjuice
Pretty sure the ones still alive are all producing music now? And Kendrick is just as good as them imo
SpaceTaco22
Kendrick, I’m meh on his lyrical content but I do agree, he’s talented and can spit bars. For sure.
Katateochi
Fugees, Cypress Hill
ihateimgurffs
Ah yes, the classic lines like thirty-eight revolve like the sun round the earth or never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I'm slippin.
Dre was not known for lyrical dexterity but is a production genius. He’s still relevant, 30 years later. How many artists can say the same?
I mean, quite some. And plenty of current artists will be relevant in 30 years, we just don't know yet which. Music didn't peak in past.

Digital Underground & Das Efx for me.
Fuck yes. But I thought Das Efx’s output in the 2000’s was weak/inconsistent. Maybe I heard the wrong things. Any suggestions?
I only ever had their first two releases (on cassette). I didn't know they were still around in the 2000s!

The real question is, how is all this bad music nowadays making it to the top of the chartsssss!
it usually does, although the ratio of good to bad music at the top of the charts fluctuates. IMO the 80's had a better ratio of good to bad
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
There is good music made today, but the tracks picked here is not in that category lol - so much crap rap made nowadays.

There was always crap music and most of that was in the charts. The late 90s was wall to wall techno in the charts where I'm from!
mako925
So much crap (insert genre) made (insert time). Music's always sucked. That anything good is produced is a damn miracle.
NiftyGoblin
Theres plenty of music that is good or sounds like the music we liked growing up, just popularity shifts as kids break away from whats 'old'
So you're less likely to hear stuff that is more your 'style' the older you get because its not the popular style with the kids.
HostMigrationPleaseWait
there was a lot of crap back then too, but rose coloured glasses etc

“Crap rap” I first heard this used in 2001. So… everything is rap crap depending on how narrow your acceptance is for art you don’t agree w/
I first heard the term "Crap rap" in the late 80s. Though it was more against the entire genre and not certain artists within it.
100% this.
Yeah, I always heard "can't spell Crap without Rap", but that's stupidly dismissive.
picselator
We've since made things more accessible and inclusive so that opens the gate to everyone who was struggling before. Like the stupid people.

You can also select whatever fanbase you want now. You can exclusively produce music for the bottom 15% of the bell curve
Yup, "filters" have been removed. Which allows some good to get through as well, but a lot of garbage too :-/
I'm all for removing the filters. I'd much rather have someone blow up from grass roots enjoyment rather than an industry plant.
Me too, I'm good at skipping the crap that comes through, but I love the gold nuggets that make it but would otherwise be blocked.
Run the Jewels still doing fantastic.
Metatality
After like 6 different songs that threaten to shoot puppies or bunnies or other tiny fluffy animals I just can't take then seriously (1/3)

People also like to ignore how crazy easy it is to produce and distribute your own music nowadays. When anyone can do it, obviously there's/
going to be a lot of turds and odds are high a lot of those turds will be huge for a little while. Time will filter it out as it always has.

I disagree. There was/is a metric ton of great rap songs both old school and new. Not a tiny minority by any stretch.
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
There can be a fuckton of great stuff out there, and it'll *still* be in the minority. For two reasons: 1) people have different tastes. ~
~ My GREAT is someone else's SHITE - and vice versa. And 2) there is SO. MUCH. Stuff out there. And its become easier than ever before to ~
~ get your stuff to other people's ears, so we are being exposed to a lot more of it than before. The classics and potential classics are ~
whatsisname
No, it's still a tiny minority. Then and now. Most stuff is crap, music, books, movies, etc. Just the nature of life.
For every big name back then, there were hundreds of local acts that were popular locally but never made it big. For every one of them there
was dozens that were just terrible.

Yo, I need more recommendations!
Mick Jenkins - anything the man has made (not a song title I'm just a huge fan of his work) The Waters is a great album.
If you like that song. Bones-hdmi, Xavier wulf- Akina speed star, suicideboys- sleep walk. Lmk if you like these and I'll put you on more
zifnab12
Denzel curry. RTJ. Pusha T. Aesop rock. All current, good rap. Maybe Danny brown too but I'm not a fan
TheSleepyTiger
Everything sounds the same, a high-hat tapping on beat and stupid low base over mumbled words about something stupid.
MrStealUrMeme
Man, what I'd give for catchy fast pace music like we had in the mid 2000's to mid 2010's. Everything seems so slow now.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I find it same-y as well, a lot of the same cadences. I guess most genres are like that maybe, and with rap it just sticks out to me more /1
because I dislike it? Same with country. Or maybe because I don't listen to it, all I hear is what's on the radio or on commercials or /2
whatever and perhaps the same kind of sound always "wins" for that? Anyway, whatever it is about it, I can't see much difference between /3
it all. /4
rojelioenescabeche
Underground metal, doom, sludge, and stoner rock is where it’s at. At least for my old ass.
I like both. Action Bronson on my way to work, Weedeater on the way home
Sadly new Hestia is disappointment of the year.
New Konvent "Call down the sun" album is absolute fire.

Clutch. At least I consider them stoner rock. But God damn are they good.
No.

And autotune everywhere
SoftKleenex

MoonPieTown
Or add a shit ton of studio effects that covers up their organic voice. Happened a lot with Jason Mraz and Nellie McKay.

Yeah like tPain?
Absolutely
gljames24
Pitch correction ≠ vocoder. If you can hear it, it's a stylized choice. When you can't hear it, it's almost definitely being used anyway.
paintbullits
I already knew that. I still absolutely fucking hate hearing it.
Its almost as annoying as that tictok voice
DrowningLessons
Yes! If you can hear it it's ALWAYS on purpose.
SeeShark
There's always been tons of autotune. What's changed is more people choosing to turn it up to 11, often as a stylistic choice. Remember 1/
Even Post Malone has blatantly said many times that he couldn't sing without auto tune. He's one of the most popular artist out there.
I agree, but now it's so obvious it hurts. It's like 15 scoops of sugar in a small coffee cup.
that Cher did it, and nobody is gonna tell me Cher couldn't sing. 2/2
WhoReadsPeoplesUsernamesAnyway
This is a very good point. Thanks
Cher did it as a novelty and used it sparingly (go listen again). Now it's just the norm.
Sure; my point is that Cher demonstrates that autotune can be an artistic choice. If people don't like it, that's fine.
xXxSTEVOxXx
People talking about "oh rap today sucks" not talking about Kendrick or Aesop are telling on themselves. Like nah... do your homework
Or the Stupendium and Dan Bull.
Pusha T has had 2 classic albums in a row. J.Cole is amazing. Speaking of which, Pride is the devil with lil baby is a good song with mumble
Exactly! Im about to bump Daytona out of spite so these people know what GOOD music is!
Ahh shit I forgot about J Cole
Aesop been doing it forever though, he just happens to still be making music. Long live Big Bang
Lmao i was struggling for current musicians cuz im totally out of the loop and cuz MF DOOM is dead and not making new music :(
BarryTheCyborg
Kendrick is from the '00s, I think this is referring to newer artists more so than the actual music
Also theyre listening to fucking regulate a song thats almost 30 years old.... late 00s is already much newer than that lol
Kendrick's new album dropped like two weeks ago
FlaccidHamster
Iron Maiden had a new album drop last year but i wouldn't call them modern
Idk is their music still artistically relevant and influential? Are they advancing their genre? Kendrick still is. Very much so.
Most ppl wouldn't really see it that way from the rap community. I mean even XXL put him in the freshman class of 2011. If you rap for >
20 yrs and then finally get noticed. Your rap career just started as far as listeners are concerned. He has put out much more noticed >
Works in the last decade by far compared to the decade before and thus ppl would consider him a modern rapper as he has found success here >

kkanne20
yeah, it's garbage. there's good music being made every year going back to the dawn of music, but you'd never know it listening to the radio
parkerh17
Okay grandpa let's get you back to bed. /s for real though young ppl don't use the radio.
TellusEidolon
Eh. Even then there are good radio stations. Always the good classical music radio.
unluckyandbored
Odds are good ONE company owns over 75% of the radio stations in your city.
dumbledong69
Even XM is really hit or miss depending on the channel
OriginalAndWitty
Cumulus or iHeart radio. Absolute garbage; and they sync ad breaks so you can't even change to change to find music. All ads.
unluckyandbored
iHeartRadio is owned by the same company that owns most of the radio stations in the US. So yeah it's gonna be just as bad.
cjandstuff
And they don't care what is playing as long as the advertising dollars are coming in.

Y'all made fun of boomers for doing exactly this. Don't be like that.

Swang (the 1st one) is designed to shake windows? It's a great tune.

Growing up in peak hip hop with Dre, Biggie, 2pac, Jay Z, Eminem will do that to you.
applesforjuice
Pretty sure the ones still alive are all producing music now? And Kendrick is just as good as them imo
SpaceTaco22
Kendrick, I’m meh on his lyrical content but I do agree, he’s talented and can spit bars. For sure.
Katateochi
Fugees, Cypress Hill
ihateimgurffs
Ah yes, the classic lines like thirty-eight revolve like the sun round the earth or never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I'm slippin.
SpaceTaco22
Dre was not known for lyrical dexterity but is a production genius. He’s still relevant, 30 years later. How many artists can say the same?
ihateimgurffs
I mean, quite some. And plenty of current artists will be relevant in 30 years, we just don't know yet which. Music didn't peak in past.

I was peek baller in the 80s. We rolled from that majestic music straight into 90s rap. It was glorious.

Digital Underground & Das Efx for me.
SpaceTaco22
Fuck yes. But I thought Das Efx’s output in the 2000’s was weak/inconsistent. Maybe I heard the wrong things. Any suggestions?

I only ever had their first two releases (on cassette). I didn't know they were still around in the 2000s!

the old rap in these examples is better (IMO), yeah, but there's good and bad music in every era
ericstern5858
The real question is, how is all this bad music nowadays making it to the top of the chartsssss!
kkanne20
it usually does, although the ratio of good to bad music at the top of the charts fluctuates. IMO the 80's had a better ratio of good to bad
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
There is good music made today, but the tracks picked here is not in that category lol - so much crap rap made nowadays.

There was always crap music and most of that was in the charts. The late 90s was wall to wall techno in the charts where I'm from!

secondtalon
So much crap (insert genre) made (insert time). Music's always sucked. That anything good is produced is a damn miracle.
NiftyGoblin
Theres plenty of music that is good or sounds like the music we liked growing up, just popularity shifts as kids break away from whats 'old'
NiftyGoblin
So you're less likely to hear stuff that is more your 'style' the older you get because its not the popular style with the kids.
HostMigrationPleaseWait
there was a lot of crap back then too, but rose coloured glasses etc

no rose coloured glasses, all that crap is still crap

“Crap rap” I first heard this used in 2001. So… everything is rap crap depending on how narrow your acceptance is for art you don’t agree w/
secondtalon
I first heard the term "Crap rap" in the late 80s. Though it was more against the entire genre and not certain artists within it.
n0n53n53
100% this.
LarvaLamp
Yeah, I always heard "can't spell Crap without Rap", but that's stupidly dismissive.
picselator
We've since made things more accessible and inclusive so that opens the gate to everyone who was struggling before. Like the stupid people.
HiddenSanity
There's always been a lot of fodder, time leaves us with the best while most of what was made then is forgotten.

You can also select whatever fanbase you want now. You can exclusively produce music for the bottom 15% of the bell curve

Yup, "filters" have been removed. Which allows some good to get through as well, but a lot of garbage too :-/
parkerh17
I'm all for removing the filters. I'd much rather have someone blow up from grass roots enjoyment rather than an industry plant.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Me too, I'm good at skipping the crap that comes through, but I love the gold nuggets that make it but would otherwise be blocked.

I disagree. There was/is a metric ton of great rap songs both old school and new. Not a tiny minority by any stretch.
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
There can be a fuckton of great stuff out there, and it'll *still* be in the minority. For two reasons: 1) people have different tastes. ~
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
~ My GREAT is someone else's SHITE - and vice versa. And 2) there is SO. MUCH. Stuff out there. And its become easier than ever before to ~
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
~ get your stuff to other people's ears, so we are being exposed to a lot more of it than before. The classics and potential classics are ~
whatsisname
No, it's still a tiny minority. Then and now. Most stuff is crap, music, books, movies, etc. Just the nature of life.
whatsisname
For every big name back then, there were hundreds of local acts that were popular locally but never made it big. For every one of them there

was dozens that were just terrible.

Mick Jenkins - anything the man has made (not a song title I'm just a huge fan of his work) The Waters is a great album.
Itslukus
If you like that song. Bones-hdmi, Xavier wulf- Akina speed star, suicideboys- sleep walk. Lmk if you like these and I'll put you on more
zifnab12
Denzel curry. RTJ. Pusha T. Aesop rock. All current, good rap. Maybe Danny brown too but I'm not a fan
TheSleepyTiger
Everything sounds the same, a high-hat tapping on beat and stupid low base over mumbled words about something stupid.
MrStealUrMeme
Man, what I'd give for catchy fast pace music like we had in the mid 2000's to mid 2010's. Everything seems so slow now.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I find it same-y as well, a lot of the same cadences. I guess most genres are like that maybe, and with rap it just sticks out to me more /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
because I dislike it? Same with country. Or maybe because I don't listen to it, all I hear is what's on the radio or on commercials or /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
whatever and perhaps the same kind of sound always "wins" for that? Anyway, whatever it is about it, I can't see much difference between /3

Underground metal, doom, sludge, and stoner rock is where it’s at. At least for my old ass.

And autotune everywhere

I hate when they auto tune people who can obviously sing

Or add a shit ton of studio effects that covers up their organic voice. Happened a lot with Jason Mraz and Nellie McKay.
AnyJester
Yeah like tPain?
SoftKleenex
Absolutely
gljames24
Pitch correction ≠ vocoder. If you can hear it, it's a stylized choice. When you can't hear it, it's almost definitely being used anyway.
paintbullits
I already knew that. I still absolutely fucking hate hearing it.
paintbullits
Its almost as annoying as that tictok voice
DrowningLessons
Yes! If you can hear it it's ALWAYS on purpose.
SeeShark
There's always been tons of autotune. What's changed is more people choosing to turn it up to 11, often as a stylistic choice. Remember 1/
MrStealUrMeme
Even Post Malone has blatantly said many times that he couldn't sing without auto tune. He's one of the most popular artist out there.
TiredSnowball
I agree, but now it's so obvious it hurts. It's like 15 scoops of sugar in a small coffee cup.
SeeShark
that Cher did it, and nobody is gonna tell me Cher couldn't sing. 2/2
WhoReadsPeoplesUsernamesAnyway
This is a very good point. Thanks
LarvaLamp
Cher did it as a novelty and used it sparingly (go listen again). Now it's just the norm.
SeeShark
Sure; my point is that Cher demonstrates that autotune can be an artistic choice. If people don't like it, that's fine.

People talking about "oh rap today sucks" not talking about Kendrick or Aesop are telling on themselves. Like nah... do your homework

Kendrick is from the '00s, I think this is referring to newer artists more so than the actual music

Also theyre listening to fucking regulate a song thats almost 30 years old.... late 00s is already much newer than that lol
xXxSTEVOxXx
Kendrick's new album dropped like two weeks ago

Iron Maiden had a new album drop last year but i wouldn't call them modern

Idk is their music still artistically relevant and influential? Are they advancing their genre? Kendrick still is. Very much so.
