Usually I'm pretty skeptical when someone claims that "there's no good music nowadays" (or there's no good music anymore in such-and-such genre, etc). There's a lot of good music out there and it usually only takes minimal effort to find it, with the internet and such. But one genre that the argument may hold some water for is hip hop...I'm a fan of 90's (non-2Pac) west coast hip hop, like Dr Dre, Eazy E, etc, and it doesn't really seem like that particular sound is around much anymore.
I was listening to a random playlist recently, and "Deep Cover" by Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg, and "Regulate" by Warren G & Nate Dogg came on. And I thought, damn, this shit is awesome. Those were popular songs back in the day & how come popular hip-hop today isn't like this. That was pretty much the inspiration for this thread. So, is there any modern hip-hop that has that kind of sound?
