A-trak on Drake's 'IYRTITL. "It reminded me of Mobb Deep’s 'Hell on Earth."

[Tetris v2.0]

Energy and Madonna have a grittiness to the production sure but hes reaching like Dhalsim. The rest of the album sounds nothing like 90s era QB-Queens, at all LOL. Its clear that Drake wanted to make a "winter" album but HOE was gritty sample-based street shyt the whole way through, zero compromise or attempt to appeal to radio.

Just because a pop artist harmonizes over a piano loop in 2015 dont mean they the new Mobb Deep

 

[SummerNights]

coli mad as shyt

 

[Jx2]

Ya and Take Care is basically Drakes It Was Written

man if you nikkas don't produce....

This kind of logic is retarded. It's like saying nobody can have an opinion on football if they aren't in the NFL.

i'm not saying you can't but the way you will hear and process music will be different from the way a producer hears and processes music, a lot of y'all are giving atrak shyt but i understand where he's coming and what he means exactly, he many have said it the best way but i get the gist he was going for

 

[Deafheaven]

this track was so dope

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Jew-tang clan aint nothin to fukk with.

They always support their own, regardless.

Breh it's A-Trak, not Quik. It's not like dude spent a 30 minute video breaking down the minutia of of each song, and how they're similar. He explained his point about as well as a random Coli member.

Regardless, let's put it like this....if you took the instrumentals of "IYRTITL" and played them for someone, with no prior knowledge of who the project was....exactly zero people are going to say 90's era Havoc.

bruh he's not talking about the breakdown of the song he's talking the sound design aspect of it as in how each thing was made from scratch from the synth, to the kick drums, and the snares, etc not the actual arrangement and piecing of tracks

those drums are not something you can just rip or sample from vinyl that shyt had to be made from scratch which in itself is hard a thing to do and the fact that it sounds so crisp is what a trak was giving them the well done for

 

[NoHalfWay]

@ gritty raps

I see what he's saying tho some of his beats has those dark sound with some hard ass drums.

It ain't fukking with HoE tho. That's the grimiest rap album of all time.

nikka, no where in that article does A-Track mention nor imply that he appreciated the sound design of the album in the sense of how they created their own synths and shyt like that (which is highly debatable, you can find many synths that boi 1nda and 40 use as stock presets in many VSTs). lol @ you reaching for that nonsense.

I'm that he actually explained it better and more in depth than A-Trak.

i've never been so disrespected with a thread title as i have with this one.....get this nikka a-trak the entire fukk outta here

son...shyt this is why i said if yall don't produce you're not gonna get where atrak was coming from shyt, he didn't say that verbatim yes but that is what he was alluding too :snupe:

the main focus revolves around sonics, don't know how else i can tell you this in a way that would make sense to you

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

I produce, my beats are probably WAY better than yours, and I have respect enough for the culture I'm a participant of to know this was a dikkriding reach of a statement @GrindtooFilthy
Please, show us your expert ear and beats.
