came in here expecting to hear some next level chit.

only to hear the typical generic drivel beats that represent the majority of the past 4 years.

Only if the OP had posted something like this



yea. this is hot. too bad the beat went to waste.

smh @ game taking a decade old j.r. writer line, not paying any homage and putting emphasis on it like he just wrote some groundbreaking chit.

game is such a bum rapper.

Most of it manages to age worst then the old music with good ol fashined real instruments...new shyt is lacking the soul no matter how sad and emo they try to make it sound,a lot of it still get the :wtb:.

And the new trap beats don't sound no better than old mobb muzic or gfunk imo.
idk how to explain it, im not talkin bout trap im talkin bout fire beats. But anyway, making those beats is hard as shyt an they are ridiculously massive and evolving productions. Gfunk an east coast beats were pretty simple i can make something like that in a hour or less, but beats like these take time to perfect, a lot of time. Gettin subbass that deep like in all me, making everything fit in the mix, all the effects and modulation they got goin on, idk i think this shyt is amazing in terms of technical complexity. No music has ever been made like this stuff, it goes against a lot of traditional production standards

those beats are fire but not what i was talkin bout, the beats i posted are next level but ppl dont know what differentiates them from most 'trap music'. And theyre NOT generic at all. Ali bomaye is great but its in the vein of just blaze's recent work, i wouldnt say its a completely new original sound

btw if someone heard gfunk beats then karate chop they wouldnt think it was in the same genre, not rly comparable imo

Too $hort, Dre's Chronic, The Roots, Wu forever all used live instruments ..and yes..all those beats are better than anything on Fruity Loops..Fruity Loops is trash
this is the issue, everyone thinks live instruments are naturally better than electronic stuff, imo i love electronic instruments i think they sound amazing and original, but no one wants to credit them because theyre still into live, soulful music

im not talkin about anything BUT the beat and how it sounds, not the connotation around it of nostalga or whatever...i find most production besides what i posted to be pretty bland and lacking of layers and energy

EDIT: yall clearly dont know shyt about this music, probably shoulda expected this from this forum...not complaining it was my bad.....

if you think these beats are the same you dont know what your talking about

There wasn't a lot of soul in those 90s beat

I have been noticing that "soul" is a buzz word y'all like to discredit anything new

not really a fan of non sampled hip hop..U cant really get that essence without samples

what is so difficult about making these beats? theyre all been there & done that beats. I actually like a couple of them a lot but theres nothing original or mind-blowing about them like you claim.

in order to make a g-funk beat, if it was a sample, you had to know your music, have some crates to dig in, know how to dig in them, know how to sample and flip a record, etc etc. it required actual music knowledge and musicianship. not some chit that you can make on your laptop in 20 minutes while eating dinner. ive literally seen beats that are arguably better than some of these being made in that manner by hack-job wannabe producers. most of these just dont impress me. and I don't even know what you mean by "east coast beats" but no comment on that.

that ali bomaye song is sort of a mix between heatmakerz/just blaze, and the current lex luger-ish sound.

not exactly an advancement but at least its an attempt of advancement by throwing twists in the game, and sounding fresh in the process of combining the old with new............which is exactly what hip-hop is supposed to be about.

who produced it anyway? I like it. an ideal track for rappers to freestyle over.
