It takes more skill and talent to make Trap beats than to Sample

Wow.

There are some house records from the early 90s that sound like they could be made today that use samples. And they layered 4, 5, 6 different samples on one track. That shyt was not easy to do back then. Well, besides the fact that you actually had to go to the record store and find the right records...which could take hours...you had to sequence it by ear cause there were no programs like fruity loops or hardware/software combos like maschine to use where you could see the waveform of the track. So everything had to be sequenced right. Then there's the mixing and mastering part and since much of that was not as easily avaable like now you had to go pay to get it professional ally mastered and pressed on record. That's not easy. At all.

Computers have literally made making music as easy as peeling an orange. It doesn't take any skill to make some of these melodies (and I will not dismiss those that make great music using keyboards and midi/USB combos with fruity loops) cause most of it sounds elementary.

I'm not hating...but you have to apply a pre-2000 perspective to it.

I think what gets lost is that in the past, producers had limited options The samplers they were working with only had 10 seconds max on them so they had to work within the limitations.

Shameless Plug alert: I did a video breaking down the beat for A Tribe Called Quest's "God Lives Through". There's several different samples used in there. I made it in 2014 with all this technology and it was still a challenge so I'm :mindblown: thinking about how they were able to pull that off using a SP 1200.

Sorry but I agree with him.

I disagree 100% I believe it's the opposite. Baby Boy's hits were nothing more than previous hits re-packaged. The generation that grew up on it copped it and the new generation who never heard it or heard their parents bump it copped it too. I do believe that some of the people who loved the sample used for Juicy copped the song or album based on that and that alone. I'm not going to say anyone could do it but I'm tempted too. Definitely a music industry formula that has worked time and time again. Not some brilliant production but rather the continued exploitation of a hit record.


French Montana is def a good example of what you mean tho.....Pop That is literally Luke's Doo Doo brown....he couldn't lose. Same with Freaks.
