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

This. Whoever did Eightball & MJGโ€™s production was great, too.

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

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...
