Respect for Spitta featuring G.T.

I wonder is Spitta copped one of these hats

I don't know what it is about Harry Fraud, but imo his beats are always missing something lol

Truth. No soul.

Always felt like his tracks felt super generic. One thing about production is, you can't fake having soul or depth with your level of funk. Harry's sh*t has always been stale to me. Very dry beats.

Never been a Harry Fraud fan but I disagree because this beat is

& his album with Benny was also fire

I think Benny carried him on Plugs.

They had a couple joints on there that had really dope samples, but that's what I meant by "soul". If you gave those same samples to another producer, like Ski or Alchemist, they would've made some crazy sh*t. Harry will take a fire sample, and just throw a drum loop under it, lol. No swing, no funk. His sh*t sounds heavily automated and robotic, like he's just dragging and dropping files into a DAW and letting it arrange for him. There's no feel to it. If you get what I'm saying.

I understand what you’re saying and I agree somewhat. It’s like I do agree that he’s clearly below the tier of guys like Ski or Alchemist, Hit-Boy, but even tho Benny carried him on Plugs 2 I feel as if his production flowed together tremendously. Not necessarily great beats on their own right but they fit the flow of the album greatly. I guess I’ll say that’s his best attribute as a producer. He can catch the vibe/feel of an album and create a certain sound that collectively flows.

Harry when he’s on, is on fire to me, but like i said earlier, this 80’s Miami feel, could have went so many different directions but it felt like multiple different versions of the same beat

Why couldn’t The Great McCarthy be longer ? What have I done for this injustice , Spitta
?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

It's funny because I think Harry Fraud is just an ok producer but he does his best work with Curren$y

His best work has been with French Montana

 

[Khadafhi]

I don't like his drums generally. I find them stiff and they never sit properly over the music. He picks good samples/loops tho

That said, the Outrunners tape he did with Spitta is some of my favorite work from both of them.
