Possibly.

But my main point is I vaguely knew who A-Trak was prior to Ye, solely because I was a fan of a few underground acts in the 90's.

But if you look at the second half of the 90's....Wu, BONE, Outkast, DMX, Master P....I mean....you know who was making noise.

Meanwhile A-Trak was hanging out with Non-Phixion and Peanutbutter Wolf. :dahell:

The funny thing is I don't even mean to diss A-Trak, but it's funny how this hip-hop shyt only matters if it props up an artist people stan. Like when Premiere said Drake was a great lyricist. They couldn't make that thread fast enough. Did they mention Premiere prior to that? fukk no. Did they make a thread after the ghostwriting shyt, when Premiere said Drake is Milli Vanilli if he don't write his own shyt? Of course not.

It's more about how disingenuous people are, than A-Trak or even DJing specifically.

Fred.
Dude you are creating a straw man.

The guy that made this thread is laughing at the comparison.

What Drake stans are championing this guys opinion.

You have an enduring desire to shyt on Drake stans no matter the circumstance but fail to just how lame and stupid your old ass looks by keeping with an agenda on a fukking message board

Nope. Not at all. I would describe the beats on Drakes album as plodding and boring. That album is a real chore to listen to. Hell on Earth is wall to wall classic production. I didn't find the Drake album dark either.

Given your track record with Timbaland, I'm not sure you know what "dark" actually is :troll:

Yep, kept the simping to a minimum and came with some of his best records yet. shyt actually is reminiscent of Me Against The World than anything else. If he actually wrote it in its entirety, this album would be a classic already---up there with The Tour and whatever YT tape y'all dikkriding currently. Perfect soundtrack to one of the craziest years in rap.

Who knows. Just spur of the moment.

I thought it was all about WATTBA considering that's the heading title, and he goes on to talk about Metro Boomin (who wasn't on IYRTITL)





that dark cinematic sound that was kinda popular in 90s hip hop was mostly the result of RZA. and Havoc. I'm not saying it's a 1-1 translation but most of the new cats going after that sound have some RZA/Hav in them. It's kinda impossible for them to not have it.

I listened to the first two minutes of that sky fall song. It didn't remind me of 90s Hav or RZA at all.

This sounds ridiculous until you realize that Metro Boomin (arguably the dopest 'trap' producer ever) makes the most gutter-sounding dark trap.

A-Kak has a point but as usual, weak-ass hip hop journalism won't ask him to clarify what he means. They know him putting "Drake" in the same sentence as "Mobb Deep" is clickbait so it's best to leave it vague and stimulate fake outrage.

Why Mobb Deep and not 3-6 Mafia or even Live.Love.ASAP (as I said before, let's not pretend like Drake wasn't inspired by the dark hard shyt that Yams/Rocky were doing)
