This is what happens when dudes realize "what I'm saying don't make sense".
Speaking of comprehending I clearly I said pages ago hip hop advanced for years but around 2014-16 it slowed down.

.... and he basically summed up these new “advancements” to the production and beats. THE PRODUCERS are the real marquee guys nowadays. Without these new fangled producers, 85% of these new rappers would be lost. The engineers and producers have been more important than the artist for about 5-7 years.
Nas can rhyme on a 1994 premier or large professor beat AND A 2021 Hit-boy beat.
90% of these new cats can’t do it. Kendrick, Drake or J. Cole can. The majority would be LOST if they had to rhyme over those beats and were not allowed to use autotune.....
THAT’S our whole point. These new guys are so sorry that they need all these bells and whistles and pyrotechnics just to be listenable

A long time ago, it might have been over a decade by now, I made a thread asking if Ghostface has the criteria to be considered the goat and I honestly don’t think it’s far fetched but people won’t accept it.
Most people did not agree with me

Being able to flow/rap on the production that has advanced…is a SKILL though, no? Knowing how to catch those beats and pockets. It’s part of music.
Something we’ve witness Nas himself have to adjust/improve upon.
Y’all can pretend there is no advancement in rap music since 1998 all you want. It’s a damn lie. And y’all know it.
Also, idk why y’all keep talking about Auto Tune-sing song trap rappers…like that is the discussion
finessence
.We’re talking about cats like Ross, Jeezy, Future, Wayne, Kendrick, Cole, etc…even Drake and them. And some other cats, who put out quality records and improved on some of their predecessors work/influence and advanced rap music.
You still don’t read.

Nah, we talking about the WHOLE genre. Anyone calling themselves a rapper or profiting off of rap in the past 5-10 years to present.

When the last time a solid good album came out by these new legends? I need to give it a chance.
The Tyler album was solid album. So was Polo G debut album.
Any recommendations?

I think now we're starting to see Ghostface impact. A lot of the upstate _'s are influenced by him. You hear in the flows, the storytelling. Westside Gunn albums flow just like a Ghostface album. The random skits, the r&b samples thrown in there.
Ghost catalog is up there. He got 2, maybe 3 lock classics. He definitely in my top 10.

Not a goalpost moved. The original convo was the parallel between nba/sports and rap music. And how new legends who put in work since both of those respective the “golden eras”, have a rightful place at the top of the rankings. And how some of them have improved/advanced rap music/sports from their predecessors
This isn’t a discussion about calling 25 year old auto tune rappers in 2021 the
. Y’all are intentionally missing the point, to get your **** off. It’s sick.

His music isn’t for everyone but Tyler’s got a Grammy and his own music festival and I think will be remembered pretty well whenever his career is over.
