Modern Hip Hop production is amazing

[Still Benefited]

idk how to explain it, im not talkin bout trap im talkin bout fire beats. But anyway, making those beats is hard as shyt an they are ridiculously massive and evolving productions. Gfunk an east coast beats were pretty simple i can make something like that in a hour or less, but beats like these take time to perfect, a lot of time. Gettin subbass that deep like in all me, making everything fit in the mix, all the effects and modulation they got goin on, idk i think this shyt is amazing in terms of technical complexity. No music has ever been made like this stuff, it goes against a lot of traditional production standards

Alotta beats I'm sure are easy to make now,just bcuz the templates already been laid out...same thing people coulda said about the older beats that were heavy on samples....so this ain't even some "90's was better than now" shyt I'm sayin....Bcuz a lot of those beats was them takin samples from the 60's,70's,80's and just building around it,and you didn't find out til u got older....so I'm not even knocking the originality of today cuz that would be hypocritical....you probaly appreciate it as a producer....I'm not a producer just a listener....I just know what I like to hear and older beats had more of a human touch...and I give most props to the generations before the hiphop genration.

AND THIS IS WHY 90S BABIES ARE THE EPITOME OF EMBARRASSING

OP its probably wise to back up your claim with good examples

This is a quote from The Fader interview w/ Trent Reznor by Noz

"When I see what’s accessible today, just on a laptop, even in just GarageBand or on your iPad, the scope of sound design and compositional tools—fukkin kids are spoiled today! There’s a limitless amount of shyt you can do with that stuff. But back then, you didn’t look at it like, I can only make one sound at a time. When you invested in that piece of gear, you—or at least I—spent years learning every trick you could learn with that thing and exploring it to its fullest. Today, it’s kinda like the consumption of music: you have access to so much, and I think people rarely spend as much time as they used to getting what they can out of it."

I think that's what most of you old people are trying to get at but you're incorrectly dividing the argument into real and live instruments versus digital, synthesized electronic etc

Honestly, read the full interview cause dude is getting at the REAL crux of the issue that OP didn't quite capture

I wasn't referring to you. If you read the thread, you have older heads in here who are dismissive of what we were stating. I think we are on the same accord.

LOL name the last time those songs were used in movie credits?

Also, none of can predict what will stick in the future so your claim is kind of useless.

Music in general was flourishing, not just rap, and not because of some golden-age aesthetic that isn't available now but because people have the means to get it for free.

Aphex Twin is a better producer than any live instrument player of the last 50 years.

[KushSkywalker]

LOL, I bought the standard edition of NWTS, just so I wouldn't have to hear All Me.

I agree. Production, these days, is nothing short of inspiring.
