LOVE SOSA>>>ANY HARRY FRAUD BEAT EVER.
He was cool at first but I see no development. Alot of bells, alot of bass, his tag playing throughout the beat, nappy ass hi hats![]()

are you really comparing young chop to those nikkas?
a RZA beat didn't have "prince rakeem on the beat" at the start of EVERY fukkin beat ever. producers who ACTUALLY have their own sound don't use drops at the start so you can identify their beats

It's not a who is better than who comparison...
We always talk about the NY Sound and G Funk and etc...How can this be possible if there isnt an element of similarity binding the prominent producers who helped create these various musical atmospheres...?
If Havoc was completely different from RZA and Premo and etc how could that "Grimey New York sound" possibly exist...?
Also, back in those days, beat making equipment was not readily accessible, so those beat makers went a long time without really changing their styles tremendously, and they were able to build legacies based on the fact that you had to be in an exclusive circle or have funds to be able to afford the necessary equipment...
Now that equipment is readily accessible, a lot of the legendary beat makers of the past have been exposed...They are no longer relevant...
In today's environment, it takes a lot more creativity to stay on top, and the sound is changing so fast because of all the various influences from all over the world...
Young Chop may never have the legacy of a RZA simply because, there is a higher and faster turn over rate of who is hot and who isn't in current hip hop...
Look at a guy like Premo, dude been making the same beat for years, and he got away with it, because he had no real competition, more talented people than him just didn't have access to equipment...
Now that we have cheap DAWs, Premo has been exposed...He can't stay relevant with the young bulls...
Basically, a lot of hip hop legendary beat makers are legends because they were born in the right time with the right opportunities...It doesn't mean they are more talented than the young dudes of today...
Think about it this way, a lot of wealthy white families became wealthy because they had the opportunity to capitalize on new discoveries, when the resources to succeed were not readily available to everybody, and today they act like they are somehow better than everybody else because of that, but some of them do not really possess the business acumen that their wealth suggest...
Not all legends deserve to be legends...

RZA didn't use the exact same sounds 80-90% of the time. apparently on Forever, he used the Ddrum drum machine almost exclusively but there's still a variety in the drum sounds because he would still use different compression techniques & layering, etc. the majority of these 808 warriors use the stock standard 808 drum sounds & drown the track in bass.RZA didnt have a tag because that was not part of the style in his time...
Now, if you know a RZA beat, with no tag, as soon as you hear it, then doesn't that mean all RZA beats sound the same...?
If you are okay with recognizing RZA beats as soon as you hear them (because they sound the same) why are you getting on Young Chop for being as generic as the RZA...?

besides the fact that RZA made beats like Bring The Pain in 1991 when he was probably a similar age, the argument is about producers from the past having a sound as their signature rather than making generic sounding beats and having a baby say their name to drop so we know who made it. i don't even mind the drops it's just that it's on a fukkin retail album, why do you need to put your drop all over a song on a retail album? mixtape? yeah, beat tapes to send to artists? of course or shyt gets stolen but on a retail albumwhy are we comparing Rza to an 18 year old kid anyway?
