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

Going to keep it 100.

If Metro Boomin' was a producer in the 90s. He would be classified as a DnB Producer. If not DnB then Trip-Hop.

"I Serve The Base" is my example.

But do I agree with OP. Not really. Just adding a different perspective.

hey breh, can you tell me more about DnB and how it relates to hip hop? I've heard Timbaland is basically DnB meets hip hop. Truth?

Op actually makes a good point and if you arent a musician or a producer you wont understand. I make both sampled and original beats and making original melodies and harmonies and rhythms takes about 10x longer than having a sample for a 4 bar or 8 bar loop. Thats why when i sample i usually just take small chops and stack them because that shyt makes you feel lazy.

It depends how u sample tho.... U can take a 4 bar loop or u can chop that 4 bar loop in many pieces

who cares? if the beat is still triddash, all your work is for naught :russ:

Y'all are acting like sampling is so damn easy. I took an obscure recording to a young cat to flip. And he just couldn't do it. Gave that same recording to an older cat who flipped it. Like anything, it's a skill set and some people are more comfortable doing x as opposed to y.

There is no "proper way" to make a beat. Whatever you do, it just has to be good. Meaning that it carries imagination/feeling. Period.

How is this even debatable? :why:
All they did in the 90s was chop samples and add some drums.
Yall acting like these 90's producers were fukking Mozart.

You do realize that some "trap beats" are also samples...please tell me you knew this? Alot,not all "trap" producers use royalty free construction kits which is music already made for you to sample or take apart and make your own beats...hmmm sounds alot like traditional sampling. So to me your argument holds nothing.

Just a couple of samples( no pun intended )

Royalty Free Trap Production Music

Trap Free 5 Construction Kits - Free Hip Hop Loops

:francis: it is what it is.

nah. OP had no idea.

You have to assume that most people on the Coli have no idea what they're talking about, especially threadstarters. There's an insecurity that comes with modern hip hop, so they have to make up excuses for why 90s hip hop just seems more memorable overall.

OP's first post has no receipts to back up his claim. His argument is so shoddy (in both cases: when talking about what people used to do, and what they do now), it's not worth discussing in depth.

Then get the fukk outta my thread :jawalrus:


You got actual producers who do both backing my claims from a non biased point of view, yet there is no depth to this shoddy argument? :comeon:

I intentionally made the OP provocative to spark the argument, n both sides have spoken their piece. Im prolly older than you too chump, and a man and a fan of the 90s over this current era. But, At the time I made this thread, there was a overall sentiment in the booth that these young producers n kids are talentless shmucks, which is obviously not the case, I made this thread in defense to that.
