why is everyone in The Booth trapped in the early-to-mid 2000s?

Like this :mjgrin:
There is a glut of hip-hop artists producing good music in this day and age, but all they can quote is whatever is spinning on their local radio station :dame:
The same posters also jump between 90s Supremacy, and in a Joey Badass thread complain about his music being "too boom bap." :gucci:
The biggest problem with rap or hip-hop now is it's not diverse.

As a young man I had fond memories, of eight ball, too short, like and the 2 live crew, bone thugs, no limit, bounce music, tribe, Jay, most def, common, 3 6 mafia, outkast, del la,man i can go on and on. These are things I heard on the radio and saw on tv.


If I wanted hear anything close that diversity now I'd have to already be a huge fan of rap and search out artist, as a young teen that's the last thing I was trying to do. Fortunately at that time EVERYTHING got played on the radio at different times and different stations. If it wasn't on the radio I heard it around the block or saw it on tv.


Legit now I hear the same type of songs on rotation for months, I remember when nikka's swore up and down that down south music was the worst. Now if I go back 6 years it almost sounds heavily lyrical to what we have now.


So yeah there are rap and hiphop artist doing there thing now, but when's the last time you heard logic or lupe on the radio? And whens the last time you heard Future or yatchy

Different strokes for different folks
You don't have to listen to them, but you showing you are out of touch as fukk when you act like you don't know who they are period... which is my point. Get it?

One of the hottest songs right now features the words yeah 7x before am actual lyric is rapped. Why is that?

For instant gratification. Mind you, most of these acts will be starving by next year as they get replaced by an even dumber "rapper" who caters to hoes.

this is the only legit "old head" gripe i agree with wholeheartedly. i miss the diversity, it was fun as hell discovering music from another region, even if i didn't like it. now you got groups of artists trying their damndest to sound the same...you got the future group (autotune trap), weezy cohort (weirdo, strange voice mumble rap singing), gucci followers (hardcore trappin), even the "trap & b" lane is full of indistinguishable nikkas - roy woods, tiller, tory lanez...then even nikkas like drake sean and wale make interchangeable songs 75% of the time. i definitely blame the early 00's super producer craze (timbaland, neptunes, lil jon, etc.) for killing diversity, but even if cats were chasing the same beats, they still sounded different on them. now clusters of artists sound dead ass like each other on a beat that sounds like it could've come from any of the same 5-10 nikkas who produce everything today.

But bu bu Drake is a wave rider when he tries to expand his sound using afro beats, house beats, caribbean beats, grime,etc.

Drake pushes this envelope and diversifies his sound no matter how much y'all try to hate him for it.

Drake, Wale and Sean have never made interchangeable music stop that. Other than 2017 Sean trying to using all of Drake's old flows

Nah they don't.

Sean can't make the music Drake can

He tried to make a meaningful, layered album with the last one

And it came off as fake deep and corny

to answer OP question, b/c rap music sucks now, OVERALL.

It's hardly even rap, it's just mumbling over Fisher Price-level beats.

Sure you got your KEndrick, your Cole, sometimes Drake.....but mostly it's garbage and annoying to attempt to listen to.

I give everything a chance until it annoys me.
