Biab offers tools that allow one a quicker, less laborious method to create a 'Today's Sound' song. Give me a couple more years to get all the way to rap with the **** and the ***** every other word. I don't call women and black people the names they are called in those songs, so it would also be badly out of character for me to try. "Today's Sound" that Charlie is referring to is not just rap. In his case I doubt it even includes that. There is plenty of Pop music (all of which is "Today's Sound") that does not go to the places you are talking about. I spent a few hours today creating a loop based song in Studio One Pro, then writing a lyric for it, recording that and mixing. It includes loops that I downloaded today (free loops), loops that are included in Studio One and loops from the BIAB folders. All loops, nothing else.... so that gave me a sound that is totally different than my usual...

Charlie and Floyd, great job stepping up. You both, no doubt, get "it." I think some really cool things may come out of all of this because of people like you. Floyd-you nailed it. Today's sound is NOT only rap. AND it's not even more than just Drake. There is actually a fair amount of diversity and collaboration going on the charts as they become a fusion of many different things...even, at times, within one song. I even considered changing my name to "Featuring" at one point.  I'm curious if anyone from PG Music will respond to the thread at this point. They may not even know what the thread is actually about...how to pickle yams. We seem to have lost the intent of the thread. Wait, is this whole foods? Where am I?

Yep, there's much more than just rap and filth. Good music doesn't just come by once and die away. I ran across these two tunes today on YouTube today and the first song is a fairly recent release of a song first released in 1986. It seems each following generation has had someone release that generations style. 1998 Phil Collins released an updated 90's version. 2009 Adele did her 00's generation updated version. 2016 Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick did this generations version of Cindy Lauper's "True Colors" that has over 54 million views. True Colors That led to "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. These songs, while modern and current, is nothing at all like the number one and number two listed earlier. Perfect

To the vids I posted buddies. Sorry from me. I left after my previous post to cut grass and returned, saw you had posted, but went straight to writing up my reply that posted just prior to yours. I'll be checking out the videos you posted in a bit. Stopping for Pizza at the moment.

Both of the songs have a somewhat timeless quality to them. It's cool to me that they could be a hit now or decades ago. Bruno has admitted that he just redoing sounds from the past. I believe to the point he may have gotten a little TOO close Great artists not doubt.

Yep. Great artists and great songs. That their recording budgets were hundreds of thousands of dollars didn't hurt either. I've found the same as beatmaster, there's some current music that is worth listening to.

Talk about derailing a thread......
If this was facebook, I'd go and delete all off topic posts.....
The thread is about hearing the music created by PG Staff and employees.... not hip hop music and the billboard top 2.

.....or....... the distraction of the hijacked topic gave them the opportunity to simply set it out.
