Maybe it’s just me but sometimes I listen to Kravens beats and think, “ would’ve looped it here instead of there” . Idk his chops selection is odd sometimes and it irritates me a lot. Felt like this on “Marrero” & “The Whole Shabang”

Kraven sucks. All he does is loop and chop loops

It’s like he doesn’t know what a drum pattern is even called

Me either, lol.

Dude's beats sound mad lazy and uninspired. Like he makes them all in less than 5 mins.
This is such an oversimplification

Y'all totally disregard the talent and ear for samples that you have to possess in order to chop them in the first place

In addition to pitch tuning, drum sequencing and other skills, if it was that easy everyone would be able to do it

I feel the same. As a former soul sample producer he drives me crazy.

With that being said, I enjoy the album. The only bad track is Marrero. I don’t know wtf he was thinking with that beat
