Sometimes.... this song is definitely the case
Breh.... I don’t know how dre took that paper in the booth and delivered that trash so well, and snoop proudly took writing credit I think

)

I'm still pissed i never realized the beat was just a loop. I always held it up as one of his best beats and one of the GOAT hip hop beats ever. Until about age 25 I came across the Og track and legit thought is was "G Thang" until the beat switches up. It fukked me up... he barely changed anything
Dre Got hella beats like this. Eminem’s My Name Is Comes To Mind. He a legend but his skill ain’t focused on chopping and creating variations in the beat. He make up for it by being one of the goat hip hop engineers though

WTFU TALMBAT??
I MEAN, IF A MUTHAFUCCA SLIPPED HE LITERALLY WAS SLIPPING.
AND YOU SHOUDN’T WANT NOBODY TO SLIP - THAT’S EMBARRASSING AND DANGEROUS,
SO DON’T NEVER LET THEM SLIP! WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT?!?

Foxy Brown - "Affirmative Action"
"32 grams raw, chop it in half, get 16. / Double it times 3, we got 48, which mean a whole lot of cream. / Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight, we back to sixteen..."
Foxy Brown must be the worst drug dealer ever. I want to buy drugs from her. The unintentional savings you can catch are probably amazing.
this reminds me of back in the SOHH days, at least once a year, someone would start a thread about Com and Bis rapping about “I’m your worst nightmare squared/ that’s double for n*ggas who ain’t mathematically aware...” and cats would literally argue for pages about the mathematical accuracy of that line.
lol early 90s nikkas were not that impressive in the wordplay, idiom flipping department fam
i know as old heads yall have a thing for that era and the 90s in general, but lyricism in the 90s was not at its finest when it comes to the usage of devices like wordplay, play on words, and idioms
Even the nicest lyricist like Common, Big Daddy kane, are dope but they were anamolies, . Compared to alot of the rappers who said things like in the OP. Plus they arent exactly the best in wordplay usage compared to those who came after(rightfully so as the successors should be better)
90s specifically early 90s lyricism was dope for its dense rhyming, internal rhyming, and multi syllable rhymings.
but in regards to wordplay? nah

facts, but that would destroy and belittle some of these nikkas Hip Hop heroes on hereI always said that if you read some of the most heralded and respected 90s NYC emcees lyrics in a thikk, southern accent , you’ll quickly discover that their content and lyricism isn’t as advanced as many have led you to believe .
feel free to start a thread on that one
this is why the discussion of lyricism is interesting, cause when you really lay out the lyrics of those considered "lyrical" and those who arent
their isnt really much of a difference in terms of the wordplay, metaphors, etc.(outside of some who are super lyrical") outside of a few margins of rhyme density and maybe how many similes, wordplay is in there
like take snoop who doesnt fit that mold for hipsters of being "lyrical". Off top, verse 1 Doggy Dogg world was very lyrical and had dope wordplay just as good as those 90s "lyrical" overhyped rappers they glorify.
Wrong. Kool G Rap was rapping way more advanced in the 80s.thats good for 90s wordplay and lyrical tricks if you ask me
it only sounds cringey now cause we in 2021
the slippin line is trash tho, not even gonna hold you

Dre’s strength and prowess as a producer has never been chopping samples up wildly like Premo or someone like that. He’s the type to find a dope loop and use it, usually he gets it replayed so he can mess with the sonics more. Even back in NWA days he had a lot studio musicians come in a replay samples or change them enough to not have to clear it as a sample or only clear it as an interpolation which costs less. He has a lot of love drums and if they’re not actually live, he gets on the kit himself or gets someone to play and then chips and EQs the shyt out of those for his drums.
Cats who dont like Dre “because he just loops and doesn’t change anything” either don’t know shyt about the art of sampling or don’t realise that a lot of Hip Hop samples are loops. It’s not 90% 1 second chops like Mass Appeal or 3 songs put together to make one 2 bar loop.
