Shitty patriot country music has always been a thing and there are still tons of Outlaw country artists right now. This is literally just like those "rap in the 90s vs rap today" memes that ignore the fact that trap has been a thing since the 90s and old school hip hop is having a Renaissance right now
old school hip hop is having a Renaissance right now
Wait, it is? Where?
JPEGMAFIAs newest material is clearly inspired by 80-90s hip hop. As well as 70s jive.
Pretty much all of Griselda and the dozen or so artists under their umbrella. Billy Woods & the rest of the Backwoodz Studios group are incredibly boom-bap inspired, not to mention all the "lofi" artists rn who are pretty much just old school rap. Turn off the radio and stop listening to algorithm-created Playlists and you'll realize that there are still active artists in pretty much any subgenre of music you can think of
Also wanted to add that I keep lo-fi on at my house constantly at a low volume just to set the mood
Also there aren't only American artists, listen to artists from different countries and you'll find a lot of great stuff, some of them even rap in English. I'm biased towards the French scene myself but there's loads.
That's true. French hip hop in general is really good, Gasoline's album A Journey into Abstract Hip-Hop is one of my favorite instrumental albums of all time
Griselda is top tier boom bap👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 The Butcher Comin!
Ayo

BOOM BOOM BOOM!
I too am curious about this. I still have some old school hip hop that I listen to. Living Legends and their songs “Never Falling Down” and “Moving at the Speed of Life”.

This is also ignoring The Alchemist and all of the artists he works with, who's basically doing what El-P did in the early 2000s
Appreciate the recommendation man!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank God for this thread. I was floundering for new stuff for my long commute.
No worries, I'd personally recommend Billy Woods's album from last year Aethiopes if you like more serious and lyrical stuff. It's one of my favorite rap records of all time since listening to it
God bless
Check out NAS's Kings Disease 3(my fav). The man is 50+ still putting it down. He even got Lauryn Hill on a track, smh. Dropped another album yesterday and has another one coming soon next year. Crazy
I'm going to see Wu Tang and Nas in a couple of weeks. Until they all die off, I've still got hope.
The good stuff is still out there. You just have to know where to find it. Commercial radio and things like that are driven by what the younger generation want to hear, which is fine for them but it's just not my thing. Im into rap that has substance and lyrical content
I assume they mean new artists using the style?
Yeah, see my other comments. Plenty of new artists in the past couple years have come up with a old school/classic hip hop sound
