Like it or not this song changed the landscape of hip hop sonically.

This song back to back with BMF made everyone want a hard trap beat

So much to the point that artists from every part of the world including NYC and LA wanted a southern trap sounding beat/song.

Not to mention this song was everywhere and had everyone hype!


This is all undeniable

Hard in the paint was first but I legit think "I don't like" was more important.
  • it brought back chicago
  • it was WAY younger rappers and skewed younger
  • it was rawer and was legit drill music
  • all the drama bloodshed and death from the rest of that movement [RIP FREDO SANTANA ESPECIALLY]
  • I legitimately think it was a bigger song and had a crazier crossover leading to Love Sosa being HUGE

I personally feel Hard in the Paint had a bigger impact overall but I Dont Like definitely had a similar impact

Nah, "Hard In The Paint" legit shifted production in different genres toward trap. There were EDM DJ's attempting to incorporate trap into that world. R&B artists were out here singing over trap beats. That stuttering hi hat and kick drum pattern became omnipresent.

Shawty Redd was already making beats like that before Luger though...you're crediting way too much to that song musically

I don't like was way more impactful culturally

"Who Dat" came out first, but it changed nothing. I'll take it even further, and you could say T.I.'s "Look What I Got" fathered "Who Dat".

"I Don't Like" wasn't more impact full culturally. Impactful? Of course, but not more than "Hard In The Paint".

None of those songs were as big as Hard in the Paint breh

Hard in the paint was a universally accepted song.

I Dont Like was a millennial thing

Like I said there is no I Dont Like without Hard In The Paint.

That automatically makes it more impactful

i just absolutely do not believe that. Production was moved in that direction ALREADY by Shawty Redd and the jeezy producers

how you gonna say that I don't like was musically a revolution when this already existed...what did 'hard in the paint' change?



and it was a street anthem too...from 2006

Breh have you not listened to music in the past 10 years?

Theres an absolute heavy trap influence in ALL genres that legit started with the success of Hard In The Paint and BMF

You're legit just being biased at this point

I'm done discussing this with you
