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
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 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
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
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

Wait, it is? Where?

Right here holmes
And here
I’m going to see Wu Tang and Nas in a couple of weeks. Until they all die off, I’ve still got hope.

Thank God for this thread. I was floundering for new stuff for my long commute.

God bless
Appreciate the recommendation man!! Thanks for sharing!
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
