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

[Rozay Oro]

A white rapper will bring back the groove/funk and the coli will explode

Not a rapper but still lol

 

[Rozay Oro]

A lot of channels on YouTube breaking down popular white music and how to play it. No brehs or brehettes on YouTube really doing the same for classic black music. Soooo can't be too mad

Agreed! Generally, today's Hip Hop is too synthesized & rigid for my taste. That Note Repeat, machine gun hi-hat gets on my nerve quick.

Prior eras were more influenced by earlier R&B & Jazz. Today's seems to be takin' cues from EDM.

I agree the groove found in that 90s sound missing, can’t two-step like you used to...

On the other hand, a lot of modern hip-hop based on the 3:2 clave rhythm so still has that bounce

 

[Stir Fry]

Ant Banks on that bass though

Y'all seen how much they charging for samples these days?



I blame Biz Markie.​

 

[Heafcliffe]

Preemo

That bass line

Original...

After a long day's work, I'm prepared to sit on the front stoop, throw these on and look to the skies on some ish.

, brehs.

What makes you feel good about the future of r&b?

Maybe it's wishful thinking .I've just been impressed by a few new artist and songs this past year.
H.E.R. ,King, Daniel Ceaser, SZA, others......
I just wish male R&B singers would step it up more. Stop trying to be a rapper/singer with lazy ass talk singing. The ladies are really doing their thing though.

No lies told

Pick this up if you're still looking for old school funk.​

 

[Knicksman20]

You can't mention funk w/o mentioning Larry Graham. He's on the bass & turned the original rock sounding track to a funk track



Kind of Funk that has you making this face
