Has Latin Rap surpassed American Rap in quality, production, and sound?

Asking because I just started listening to Latin hip-hop/rap and it is spectacular!

I have been trying to find new Latin hiphop/rap because honestly, I have found most new American rap uninspiring and boring.

Once I found Latin rap and hiphop, it’s like I opened a new door to a new music genre! Yeah, it’s bass heavy often times, is beat heavy like all rap is, but these Latin musicians are creating music that is eclipsing what American rap is putting out now.

Favorite artist so far is Venezualan free stylist/rapper Akapellah! His music is so clean, the production is tremendous and the sounds… it’s truly unique there are sounds and instruments put together with top tier vocals; I really haven’t heard this anywhere else. Akapellah’s albums are complete, he’s got great music throughout the entire albums.

If anyone has recommendations for other Latin rappers/hip-hop artists I’m all ears! I also found rappers Veeyam and JordyLongSocks that I enjoy a lot.

Not a Megadeth fan, but “A tout Le monde” is a masterpiece song

I don’t really like any other Megadeth song, respect their ability, just don’t dig their sound much - but, this song is really special. It’s a 10/10 song imo.

Mudvayne’s song (Per)Version of the Truth - such an intense song!

I just began revisiting some of my older stuff, Mudvayne has some really excellent stuff imo. Can’t believe it’s been so many years now when this song came out. 😆

London After Midnight - what’s your favorite song and why?

I love Spider and The Fly, a close second is Inamourada! Both songs are darker toned, but danceable. Great goth/Emo dance club songs! And they never play either songs at the only goth club in my city. 😞

Disturbed’s song Down With The Sickness - triggering?

I always thought Down With The Sickness by Disturbed was an awesome song. Sonically I love the entire first album by Distubed, it’s a 10/10 for me.The album version (not radio version) has a fairly intense segment of the song where Draiman vocalizes being beat by his mother. He claims it never happened and the segment was supposed to be taken metaphorically with how society beats down a person that is different and non-conforming from society. Point is, for years I thought it was literally about a person beaten by their mother… I was wondering did anyone else also think this, and did this ever trigger anybody, or at least take their mind to that place? For the record, I love the song. 🤔
