You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Marvin Gaye vocal sample in the background
Exactly. The emcee is the star. There are beats that good for beat battles or impressing production nerds like myself, and then there are beats that are dope but are also tailored to have the rapper as the main attraction. A lot of producers overcook the beat and do too much with it. I like how the beats on this project here have a lot of space and room for Thought to get in the pocket and stay there.Peep what Salaam said about building the track with the MC vs just throwing something already made and putting an over-emphasis on the beat and drowning out the vocals.
Kids dont even get it
I resigned to that fact some years ago.I'm convinced Black Thought could possibly be the best rapper alive.
Like, if someone said "Black Thought is a top 5 rapper", I couldn't even begin to hate![]()
One of the greatest shows I've ever seen. I missed them once or twice when they came to my town so I HAD to catch their set when I was at Soundset 2016. I missed when they brought out Sa-Roc though. Can't remember who I went to see next.I need to see 'em live again![]()
Absolutely not. There are other flips of it I like more that I think I posted in the thread, but it's a winner every time.You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Marvin Gaye vocal sample in the background
