    Who are the most creative artists right now? and WHY?

    IMO-
    Kanye - WTT, MBDTF, 808s, Yeezus, all have been pushing boundaries and still good music as well
    Macklemore - doesnt fit in one genre, songs contain important topics, presents songs in creative ways/songs sound different than most of whats out today
    Logic - t-ts (his latest album) whether ur a fan or not of Logic u gotta admit this album is creative as f---
    Kendrick Lamar - TPAB, nuff said

    What yall think tho? Im tryna widen my range of creative artists whose music is good/inspires me of artists out TODAY

    Arca - Definitely bringing new stuff to the table in the EDM world.
    Bones- Multi genre artist known for his unique dark atmospheric & at times lo fi sound, he's versatile af, creative af, & is incredibly unconventional.
    Flying Lotus- His trippy psychadelic music, that's a result of the blending of many genres is definitely different & unconventional, he's a mad creative dude.
    Kanye- dude pushes mad boundaries, especially in the hip hop/pop world.
    Kendrick- showed crazy versatility with TPAB, has potential to make lots of creative s---.
    Kid Cudi- he's been known for changing up his sound the past few years, for better or for worse. You could say he's a multi genre artist.
    Radiohead- is and always have been mad creative & experimental, always changing up their sound & bringing new sounds to the table in the alternative/experimental world.
    Weeknd- Definitely different from most R&B artists, has his own crazy unique atmospheric sound.


    The list goes on, there's a whole lot of creative artists out there, you just gotta scavenge around to find many of them.

    Kendrick because TPAB is extremely creative in a musical sense and in terms of his subject matter and content. GKMC is also very creative as an overall concept in addition to a creative sound. There are many more reasons I could give as to why I put Kendrick up there.

    I know you wanted new and more obscure names but right now I really can't think of anybody else that I would consider super creative that I actually really like right now.

    Kanye is an alright choice

    Macklemore is just a poor 80s revivalist with a decent pop producer

    Logic ain't doing s--- others haven't done first, second, third, etc

    Kendrick shouldn't count either, everything done in TPAB has been done to some extent in jazz or by outkast or dj quik (may be getting him confused w someone else tho)

    Cudi is just doing technically unimpressive renditions of alternative pop rock, notyexactly groundbreaking

    Weeknd was pretty dope with his mixtape run but he's excessively pop now

    In fact I remember telling people Can't Hold Us was gonna be the next hit song after Thrift Shop and I was right. Overall though he's not doing anything new for the genre, he's really really tame tbh.

    Forgot to put a "nowadays" in there, referring to that one single

    I actually don't hate macklemore and think he has a few good songs but he's not doing anything new whatsoever, with the exception of 2 or 3 songs he's basically elevator music

    you said Young Thugg is one of the most creative artists right now..

    His music is making 0 change and he is less creative than Logic and Mack.

    Young Thugg is basically a worse younger version of Lil Wayne
