One of the most interesting parts of one of the videos is that there’s a youth Philly football team named O-Block :heh:

I listened to 6 of those songs in the original post and they were all terrible except the second one. Every beat sounded the same and the rappers attached to those beats sucked. I’d love rap to have that element of fun again and actually be conducive to dancing, but this ain’t it. No wonder Afrobeats is thriving. And the content in those songs is still violent btw. You’re just being fooled by the light production and the rappers looking like overgrown 14 year olds.

How did the beats sound the same?

The second track I posted is a guitar based beat while the third track which is a freestyle had jazzy horns one of the tracks samples “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore". One of the songs samples J Holiday and there's another that's a collaboration between a Bronx drill rapper and Philly club rapper where it's a straight 808 drill. Another of the songs samples Jhene Aiko. So how did the beats sound the same. :unimpressed:

Sonically interesting. Doesn't sound like music for the clubs of today, but do people even club like that anymore?

I'd also go crazy listening to this for an HR unless the bpm was slowed down a bit.

As far as the club sound going mainstream Cookie Kawaii kinda laid the groundwork for that with "Vibe" a couple years ago, that shyt was all over tiktok/IG/twitter. Can't really remember NJ club popping outside of its circle in years before that track blew up. Tbh alot of the nikkas posted in this thread are just riding a wave and sound like shyt.
