What year did the shift begin to the current era of Hiphop?

[ISO]

This from 2011 and is literally every song today, you could honestly say it started then.

2012 when future got hot.
Gucci Mane started his comeback and picked up the artist who would be in the next coming years. The title is when did it start. Metro boomin started getting hot and the trap producers started getting hot, etc.

Nothing sounds like this listen to that beat

 

[Chris Cool]

But music doesn’t sound like this anymore.

future doesn’t sound like he did I’m 2012. The sound of rap changed in 2015-2016

It's still called trap music though. and has way more in common than the previous shift in trap.


I see op mentioning SoundCloud rappers, who are they? Biggest rappers is future and them.

Don't mean the beat. I mean the autotune singing and subject matter.

 

[Love Sosa]

This is basically every song now. And it’s from 2012. Obviously the beat sounds older but it’s basically all the same since then. Once the autocrooners got ahold of the Lex Luger style of production it was a wrap. There’s no other era of hip hop where everything sounded the same for so long.

The production matters for the era and even the way them dudes back then drowned themselves with autotune

Wayne ascension changed everything

I guess 2006-2008

 

[Stone]

Basically that stretch where Migos, Future and Thug really started to break through on a national level. No Label 2 to that run future had from Monster to DS2.

Tha tour vol 1 is included in this too

Yeah i agree the shyt had evolved, but i think that's still where it started. Before that autotune was on that t pain or kanye shyt, and nobody does that. Plus you had nikkas was failing miserably tryna kill it.
But this 2012.


Future still makes this kinda shyt. And if we're being real not all the production from them sounded the same, people just generalized the shyt.

This one of my favorite Future songs

It goes off and I’m not MAD at this type of shyt. I like future, thug, lil baby, etc. I still listen to this music, but I’m just sayin it’s all sounded the same for awhile now.

 

[KingJay]

2015 was a crazy year for rap cause you had shyt on both ends.
One side you had TPAB, Tetsuo, S06, IYTITL, Compton, DWMTM, ALLA, B4DA$$, 90059, etc.

Other end you had DS2, Sremmlife, B6, etc. really ushering in a lot of this new shyt

 

[Sad Bunny]

Future changed the game.

It starts with him.

[Black White Sox Hat]

Drake haters are just obsessed at this point

You can blame Drake for all the singy rapping garbage.

And Migos and Future for that retarded ass sounding flow everyone copies.

 

[rantanamo]

Curious as to what is considered the current sound. Never was into trap, but I like what the younger rappers are doing right now which def ain't trap sonically(though they still rappin about it) As an old head, I'm happy to see it. Would rather hear what Polo G or NBA Young boy got than Drake or Future

2015 - 2016 was when the shift happened...that’s when artists were pretty much blowing up off SoundCloud and early streaming. I ain’t gonna lie I kinda miss those Reezy London tapes on SoundCloud...that’s how I got on XXX, Slump God, Carti, Uno, Fauni, Yachty, etc.
