Similarities Of Modern Day Rappers
The biggest modern day rappers share a few similarities, one of those being their use of similar producers. Most of the biggest modern day rappers use the same producers as each other, the biggest well known ones being Tay Keith, Murdabeats, Metro Boomin, and 808 Mafia. These producers sell their beats to multiple of these top named artists which results in all of them having similar esque type beats. Another similarity between them is their use of heavy to kinda heavy autotune. The rap industry revolves around auto tune now, with rappers like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and Kid Cudi evolutionizing the rap game and the different types of auto tune levels they use for songs. Someone listening to modern day rap who didn't know anything about it would most likely say that all these top charting songs sound the same. Another similarity between top artists is usually their flow, some of them never change it up which results in each song also sounding the same. A good example of a popular rapper was Da Baby, he declined in popularity due to the fact that he never changed up his flow on his songs. This caused people to stop listening to him due to the fact that every song practically sounded the same.
