Its been that way for years. The average human knows absolutely nothing about music so they don't want music thats too complex. As producers we brake down other peoples beats and we can see through the bullshit. But Even I have been guilty of making beats really boring and plain. But I've done it on purpose. I've asked for feedback and sometimes I get its lacking this and that. I appreciate that but I just laugh because a lot of beginners over produce and don't realize that the only thing that its missing is vocals and a arrangement ..... I'm not saying this is one of those cases but your right. Alot of music here on this site is better but its all politics and business. Once we all realize this then we can all start making money off this shit. Does it make sense to keep making underground music? NO. There is no money in it. Being a producer means that your involved from top to bottom. A lot of hot songs have weak beats but its the way there put together with vocals and structure that make it appealing. Listen to Dr. Dre beats ( even though he doesn't really make them) They are stupid simple but its the quality of the recording a long with the flawless vocal tracking that makes him great.
