is that what you look for in music? shit to chill to while in your apartment? what happened to music that was supposed to make you get up and dance? get excited? get hyped? we've been reduced to wantin' to chill? i thought that was what rnb and other soft music was for? niggas wanna chill listenin' to hip hop now? i blame weed smokin' at least, when everybody was on cocaine and doin' hip hop shit was hyped now, everybody is all slow and got the munchies and movin' slow and makin' drowsy ass music
even tempo wise remember when Bone Thugz hit the music was very slow
even the chopped and screwed stuff
what u have now is the byproduct

you dance around in your house (or long to)? by yourself?
i get the idea of wanting music that gets you hype....but not to the end that you can dance around your place of residence (unless it is @ a houseparty).
i can also get with idea of examining the "slowdown effect"
>what happened to music that was supposed to make you >get up and dance?
the music that was supposed to make you get up and dance got soft as shit.
if you're talking about hip hop, this is especially true.
but to answer the question asked... eh, you go to different music (artists) for different things.
If I wanna get up and dance I put on some old funk/R&B records
I don't really listen to hip-hop to "chill" so much as to... listen. There is some "chill" hip-hop I listen to, but really, I like hip-hop that is high energy in a different sort of way, see this:

There ain't nothing chill about that kinda hip hop. Sure there's lots of hip hop that's chill but there's always been, I'd sooner blame MDMA than weed for the sound of a lot of current hip hop (IE// Drake, Kendrick Lamar, A$Ap Rocky, etc.). There is a big divide between whee hip hop is at what's played in the club but that started a long time ago and drugs has nothing to do with that.

I go through fazes where I don't listen to rap and I'm in that faze right now. Shit I might just stick to what I have and discover new music in other genres.
