What are things you don’t see anymore in hip hop?

[5th Letter]

Rappers rapping about how lyrical they are and/or using allegory to describe their lyrical ability.

 

[Mister B. M. Ed.]

Posse tracks. Like 4-5 different artists on a track , trying to outdo each other.

 

[Tessai]

Talent

 

[Word....Life]

New releases on Tuesday….

 

[Stomp Johnson]

Videos with lots of cameos just because. The 'hip hop as a community' vibe.

 

[Shaquille Sunflower]

Mixtapes with freestyles over other beats

 

[AP3.0]

Good uses of soul samples

 

[Mr.LV]

Directors for music videos being a big deal , Hype Williams, Dave Meyers and Little X etc

 

[Playmaker88]

Lyrics

 

[O.G.]

Deejays

 

[RandomOne]

Originality

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Good rap groups.

80s/90s was damn near just as many dope groups as solo artists.

But post 2000 they were few and far between.

 

[BDBOULIBALY]

Remixes with a different beat

 

[BlackRain]

One of the biggest things I miss is hearing different regional slang. It sounds weird as hell hearing up north rappers using Midwest and Southern and West coast slang terms and vice versa

 

[Shaquille Sunflower]

Good uses of soul samples

Are you saying producers don’t know how to flip em? Cause I agree somewhat.

 

[RusselWilsonJr]

A song that doesn’t mention fucking someone else’s girl or haters. Songs actually about shit that’s non recreational.

 

[Nobody]

Beat boxing

 

[Maywood]

hip hop

 

[shutupGabi]

In house producers

 

[Loch121]

In house producers

They still exist.40 and Drake and Nas and Hit Boy now to some degree,but it's not a good deal for producers to sign to exclusive deals
