Kanye West released his latest album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” this week, and it’s filled to the top with classic rap beats. If you like classic rap music, then there’s nothing not to love about this album, which features rap superstars and newcomers alike. In addition to hearing the latest that Kanye has to offer, you’ll also hear Rihanna, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, and Swizz Beatz, along with a few artists you won’t always hear about making rap beats like Elton John, Alicia Keys and Justin Vernon.

West Shows Off What He Does Best

To date, the album has received serious critical praise, scoring a mean 93 out of 100 on the Metacritic scale. Metacritic measurements aren’t for everyone, but they do give a good idea of what the critics think of the album. There’s clearly at least one segment of the rap music cohort that favors a move back to the “classic” rap beats. The highest rated rap albums of the year – including Eminem’s “Recovery” – have featured the tried and true. What seem to sell the best right now are classic rap beats and new collaborations among old friends.

That’s a good observation for music makers who are looking to get into the rap music business right now. Classic beats and new sounds are hot fan favorites. That doesn’t mean there’s no room for new artists, though. Rap music, unlike many other genres, is probably the most receptive to new talent. There’s still plenty of room to entertain new sounds, and old sounds made by new musicians.
