:manny: wasn't a great verse, but it's not like he didn't just go in the direction the song was already going in. Probably would've cared more if he was on a song with a crazy lyricist and he brought it down. But this song was already :trash:, no one was going to improve it by the time the third verse came around

Not bad but not many ppl are going to spend money on it. That's the issue with rap right now. No one, especially cacs, are supporting it. Black ppl are tightest with their money and nothing less than undeniable is opening up their pocketbooks so ehh.. The beat is cold though.

Yeah, duke is weak as hell on the mic. I feel like even his career as a producer has slipped since he started trying to push himself as an emcee.
Hitboi was never a stellar producer to begin with. hes versatile enough that his style can fit any mold.. but none of his beats are awe-inspiring. Theyre jsut really, really catchy. Ive always felt that his musical approach is more pop then hip hop.

I dunno if I'd say he's all pop though, yeah his beats are clean, but that's a good thing to me. He's actually a lot more versatile than people give him credit for I think.

How can the guy who made nikkas In Paris



Turn around and make some vintage hip hop shyt in 1 Train

I mean he made some vintage hip hop shyt with a pop sensibility..


Hitboi's melodies are always perfectly arranged, and the drums always function as a precise counterpoint.

He just has a real methodical approach to making music. Not a bad thing :manny:

I love Hit-Boy when it comes to production, he is one of the best ones out right now when it comes to that and there is no denying that..

But when it comes to rapping, I don't know why but he just annoys the fukk out of me. He really has NO presence on the mic, his lyrics are decent but I'm not gonna be like :gladbron: when I hear them. What also annoys me about him is how all them bloggers and other folks biggin his head up thinking he gonna be the next Kanye or something like that.
