This dude is/was considered a rapper??

Thought he was a white boy singer who got mad love from black girls since many of them hate black men and then they go in overload mode with any white boy who has a black friend with Fruity Loops and a microphone. I call this Serena Syndrome.

a pierre beat sounds nothing like a nba young boy beat. and a kodak beat sounds nothing like an asap rocky beat

A lot of this comes from comparing current music to music from e.g. 10 years ago. When the 808 drumkit made a resurgence (what sounds to you like 'current drums' are actually drums from an old drum computer by Roland called the TR-808 that was used heavily in the 80's by rap producers and also in Miami Bass music, the star of the kit is the 808 kick drum). Almost all current producers use the 808 drum kit and to many people this is why 'everything sounds the same'. Also, a lot of rap artists flow the same, they may SAY different things, but to someone walking down the street and hearing a car come by with 1 of 10 the same sounding rappers.. it all sounds the same.

EDIT: just read you're a Producer, so I get how you're saying that all these beats sound different because you're deeply into it. It's like how parents could say 'all rap sounds the same' and young listeners would be be like 'WHAT? No!!'.

Post some beats bro

Nobody uses the original TR-808 machine bass anymore.
There are probably 100+ different varieties and textures of 808 drum now, not to mention kits...even though nikkas clone kits and use thecsame sounds because they're popular...just not that specific one outside of Detroit, The Bay, Columbus,and Pittsburgh.
nikkas enjoy those old Cash Money and/or 3-6 type drums.

No you're right absolutely. They aren't 100% using the TR-808 drum machine or kit, but they are all variations of the TR-808 kit. The bass kick (that they like to play in tune with whatever chords or tones they are playing), the light snare, the hi-hat, the cowbell etc. are used non-stop - it's a variation for sure.
