Did Hip Hop when sampling died? Did southern producers kill the genre?

[SEX!!]

travis scott and lil uzi are saving hip hop

and its all repetitive garbage....ppl should be tired of trap beats

all southern rappers don’t rap over trap beats tho.

 

[Dontay Flaco]

Y'all get on my nerves blaming the south for every damn thing. Like a poster above the said the south is arguably the most musical region in hip hop especially back in the day. And a lot of producers and beat makers still sample even in trap.

I'm kinda am since I was born in Texas but still

Publishers and Technology GREATLY reduced producers ability to just sample and release retail projects.
Sampling is still used by all regions but your chops and crate digging ability is at a premium now.
Producers like Jake Uno and G-koop make major dollars replaying and chopping samples for artist ALL THE TIME.
Bad and Bougie was a sample replay by G-Koop then the beat was chopped by Metro Boomin'

The "(insert region) ruined hip hop" is a played out and weak position by folks who have a preference to a certain region or time or sound and dont like the shift in styles/influences.........

Bingo. So many of those old producers and artists don't get much residual money because they had to give up all their publishing due to samples. Fabolous & Just Blaze had to give up 100% of "Breathe." Same with Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq "Uptown Baby."


It's like being in a group in 2018: doesnt make financial sense at all.

To be fair breathe was leaked to the radio before the actual sample was cleared and Peter guns and lord Tariq didn't even try to clear the sample but I agree with what your saying

Sampling took much skill, creativity and some musical knowledge.

These trap beats are disposable. They're like the drugs these motherfukkers do. Temporary high and unlistenable.

fukk outta here.

You're trying to erase 20 years of music history to make your retarded point.

Southern producers used sampling and also elevated Hip Hop production by bringing in real musicians and composing original tracks.

Southern producers were REAL musicians, not some nikkas playing around with their parents record collection and drum machines.

You don’t even know what a trap beat is

I disagree with the sentiment that hip hop is in a bad place. The mainstream/pop-rap/thug stuff is cancerous but overall hip hop has never been so sonically diverse and artistically varied. I enjoy what the South brought to the table and listening to the current waves of “indie” and “alt” rap I can’t wait to see where the genre goes

Watched about 45 seconds and it all sounded awful :PPicard:

UGK and Short ain’t Trap.
Short was replaying a lot of samples with a band. His shyt was real funky.

 

[mobbinfms]

making a generic 90s boom bap beat takes about the same amount of talent and creativity as making a generic trap beat

All trap beats are generic. That’s the difference.

 

[mobbinfms]

A lot of producers still sample records, they just reverse it/pitch it down semitones, add crazy effects, gross beat. shyt like that and you'd never know it was sampled from a popular record Seems like this is a way a lot of modern producers are getting around sampling.

I think as a hip hop producer, you shouldn't be limited to just sampling but also be able make beats from scratch actually using some musical knowledge and possibly theory (although not really necessary)

Post some examples. Preferably videos recreating the sample like the Shook Ones video in the OP.

Post some examples of creative sampling in trap records.
