Reads like a title that should be on The Onion...

Beats that were ridiculously ahead of their time?

Posted: 12 Feb 2020 04:38 AM PST

This question popped into my head after discovering Haze.Boogie.Life, a fun, fresh banger by queer rapper Mykki Blanco that came out in... 2012?? That production would've sounded as fresh and futuristic to me if it came out last week - what are some other songs/projects that hit you the same way?

I also have to shout out Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein (2001) that has aged beautifully, and just about every dark Memphis beat from the late 90's (think Three 6) that was basically modern trap way before trap existed.
