The secret sauce to the success of mumble rap is most definitely beat selection, and that's basically the creative input of music producers.

Hence, without ear-catching beats perhaps music listeners wouldn't even bother to try to decipher what the mumble rapper behind the mic is trying to say. Lawd, ain't that the truth?

But once the audience is captivated with the crazy drum patterns, the melody of lead synths and finally the ambiance courtesy of synth pads, that's it. You better believe it's a wrap.

The audience will vibe with the track regardless of the fact a mumble rapper is struggling for punchlines - just saying.

Hip Hop culture has evolved to the point were at some point in time-conscious music and lyricism were admired and subsequently had a huge fan base.

Now in current times, you have a diluted Hip Hop scene were microwave rap music is definitely the way to go, thanks to easily disposable mumble rap.

One could argue by saying mumble rap is now more mainstream than what lyricism used to be.

So in those regards, we can make a proposition to say the Hip Hop culture has shifted from cherishing the art of lyricism to a state were future Hip Hop fans will start paying homage to contemporary modern mumble rap. Hmm, yet another illusion or a future reality what do you think?
