LOL its 5 years later and the sound described in OP is now the mainstream

Yeah the 2010s have been really impressive in how much the bar has been lowered.

 

Also LOL'ing reading back at "at least it's not as bad as juke" which is now all over the fucking clubs in NY.

I've been living in Atlanta for 2 months and I'm already sick of this shit.

 

Lil Wayne, Gucci Mayne, and the thousands of other wannabees vomitting autotuned, lazy, unintelligible vowels over an 808 beat need to fuck off forever.

 

Get this shit off my stereo.

 

 

Virginia had some perks

Why was it necessary to make a topic for this? Yes, Atlanta rap, like most other rap not made for white people (MF Doom, Odd Future, Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon, etc.) or listened to primarily by white people (Tribe Called Quest, Biz Markie, Beastie Boys, Sugar Hill Gang, etc.) can be vapid and pop-ish. You don't have to love it, and you don't have to endorse what it stands for, but it's not necessary to whine about it. No one will ever force you to listen to it, no matter what you might think.

Tribe Called Quest, Beasties and Sugar Hill Gang are quality - what talking about lol? ;p

Counter-point:  Southern rap (esp. what came from Atlanta in the Freaknik-era) is vital music and should be heralded without the ridiculous region-based stereotypes. 

 

Another counter-point:  Metro Boomin' is the most interesting producer in hip hop right now. And has been for about 2 years...

I'm not sure how interesting Metro Boomin is. Why do you think that? 

 

I like his specific take on the horror sound. The Without Warning album is one of the most consistent hip hop albums I've ever heard (which, imo is surprisingly rare). He managed to get people to appreciate 21 Savage's style/delivery, specifically on an album with Offset killing every verse he had.

 

I guess I was being a bit hyperbolic but out of the big name producers out right now, he's certainly my favorite. I personally think that him, Southside, TM88 and all the way back to Lex Luger have a very great ear for atmosphere in tracks. Metro to me is like an amalgamation of all their styles with more talent (save for Lex Luger, who's career trajectory is a tragedy).

 

edit:  And I'm specifically staying within the range of about the last 10 years or so. Going back further obv. the Memphis stuff is the origins.
