Today's hip-hop lacks that groove/funk from previous eras

Spoiler: Examples

Type of shyt that makes you wanna get up and hit a 2-step

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Too computerized, all these pre'programmed hi-hats and 808s don't exactly make for a groovy bassline

 

[Take It In Blood]

Modern hiphop sounds like it was produced by R2D2 and C3PO

 

[8.TRES]

New generation of producers doesnt listen to the classics that premo n the neptunes n other legends grew up listening too, so their music doesnt have that type of soul. More similarities to EDM in modern day hip hop production than anything else

Iono bruh, some of the computerized stuff from the early 2000s had HELLA bounce.
Edit: you're right about the bassline part

Reminds me of Future's music.

This. Whoever did Eightball & MJG’s production was great, too.

And of course Organized Noize laid it down for the South back in the day.

As a duo, those boys are highly slept on.

Painting by the numbers...not by the feeling....nagas had fun making music back then...u can hear it...it wasn't all bout money...was just about making the best song...

This is due to the tempo...

Most hip hop today is at 160 bpms

A funk bpm is around 120...

You slow down any Trap beat...it'll sound like something you can step to...

I think beats today are actually funkier than anything that was out back in the 90s or 00s..

Got way more pockets in it...
