I'm open to new fresh sounds as well, but the thing is a lot of it is GARBAGE. It's hard to take some of this new shit seriously, that's the problem I see with it, I just can't take most of it seriously. Yeah some of it is good for dancing and all, but I think that's it and when I'm a bit faded I really don't give a fuck, if it has a catchy beat, I'll get down to it. Other than that, I won't listen to it or buy it on my spare time. I personally can just relate a lot more to older shit whether it be G-Funk or Bay Mobb Funk, because there's actual stories being told for the most part, real shit. Now a days there's some silly ass shit being said lyrically and some wack noises in the beats as well. Yeah it has it's places, but not in every damn song as it seems to be. Nothing stands out differently. The 90's were just str8 HARD all around, from the West all the way to the East, some real Shit. Motherfuckers are just wierd these days, their trying way too hard to be different. Mother fuckers trying to look hard n shit as well, yet they look like Reggaeton artists. haha, jokes.
And as far as Radio stations in Socal playing nothing but G-funk, hell nah, alls they play is this new trendy shit. LA fell off the map cuz everyone started jocking the South & their Crunk, simple as that. People heard songs like Youngbloodz - "Damn" and people just loved it. From then on, it's been a complete mess with all the same ass trendy shit. Nothing is hard anymore, they hardly ever use real instruments anymore, everything is all synthetic sounding. That's cool for Trance & House music, but not for Rap. Trance music has been using that famous fat "Sawtooth" lead sound for years, funny how some Rap producers act like they discovered it. That's why I still prefer to listen to older Rap, shit is more RAW sounding, dirty n grimey, much better lyrically and a lot better musically. Whatever happened to the piano, guitar, bass guitar, chord usage, background strings, synth basslines and leads from moog type synthesizers,etc... real shit.
