i always think of flying lotus and la beat scene as "futuristic production" which i agree is now played out, had been for the past year really.

le1f, mykki blanco, etc. sound more like a$ap mob, odd future or flatbush zombies which is like current hip-hop sound. i hear trap and southern hip hop when i listen to them.

i agree that they are more interesting than a lot of current rap artists. they sound more sinister and badass even if they are gay, lol.
