However, rather than railing against “kids these days” for not paying homage, Gucci brings his decade-plus of experience and wisdom to the track, lending it a gravitas that Migos won’t be able to achieve for at least another five years. Gucci Mane is considered by many to be one of the pioneers of the modern trap rap style that’s been perfected and matured by Migos. It’s the highlight of the past decade inspiring and being inspired by the current rap favorites, bringing the best out of both. However, every so often we get a perfect synthesis of the past and the present. However, we so rarely get to watch rap “fathers” create new music alongside those they’ve obviously inspired, what with the turnover rate for new rappers and hip-hop’s propensity for discarding its older models in favor of the latest rhyme slingers to hit the market. It’s why we love watching Lebron James cheer on Bronny and why Lavar Ball’s shenanigans haven’t quite tired us all the way out yet.
It’s so much fun to watch fathers and sons enjoy their shared interests together. Flexing is all he wants to do now.– Brandon Caldwell It easily won out with thanks to Scott sticking to a very repeatable and believable ethos, “For this life I cannot change.” It’s gotten him this far, why stop now? He’s rich, can dance all through the Hidden Hills and be amongst the upper crust of both music and Hollywood. “Butterfly Effect” came amongst a batch of new songs including “A Man” and “Green and Purple” alongside Playboi Carti. “Bend laws, bend lanes / Been bustin’ bills, but still ain’t nothin’ change / You in the mob soon as you rock the chain / She caught the waves just thumbin’ through my braids.” Scott’s vocals here hum and dance along to the point where they become infectious, daily mantras. “Butterfly Effect” came in mid-May and stands as a sauntering, melodic Felix Leone and Murda Beatz scored track.
If his sometimes growling melodies can turn into subversive riot starters at his live shows, they can have the reverse effect when listening by yourself. Think about it, no song from the Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight rapper has sounded the same, even if the desired result is. Travis Scott’s musical aesthetic can be boiled down to one thing: capture a moment. Rap may not sound the way it did in 1993 when Bone Thugs were an exception, but that’s ultimately a good thing - it means that the genre is adapting, growing, evolving, and thriving, and will continue to do so as long as it keeps changing. Check out Sam Hunt’s “ acoustic mixtape” for your evidence), a rapper must be clever not just with rhyme schemes and wordplay but tunes and harmonies as well.ĭrake may have kicked off the modern version of the concept with his 2009 mixtape So Far Gone, but what was once a novelty and an idiosyncratic quirk of The Boy’s delivery has become the en vogue style du jour of both his contemporaries and his adherents, and even of more traditional R&B singers like SZA. It might seem cliche to say now, but a rapper in 2017 can’t just be a rapper - with the amalgam of rap and pop dominating practically every music chart (including country.
That sing-song delivery, the slow meshing of melody with the spoken delivery that’s turned hip-hop into the culmination of the style originally envisioned by Bone Thugs N Harmony way back in 1993. But if you look just a hair closer, you start to see it. There is tremendous diversity there, so much so that it seems almost like they have nothing in common. Looking for a common thread for the best rap songs of 2017, it almost seems more daunting than it really is.
