The 'No Drums' Movement

[TheDarceKnight]

Well, the Domo album, it wasn't ALL like that, but I was actually paying attention to it, you know?

like Damn, this Alchemist shyt is ill as hell!

That bytch I Deserve You on Rare Chandeliers... Hope the album sounds like that and Blood of the Goat

 

[BrothaZay]

It'll phase out

 

[N-DUB]

Kanye did this on "The. World" until the hook came in, But it only sounded right because Nas was killin it tho

[Ghost Utmost]

Hip Hop without drums.... kinda like mixed drinks with no booze

 

[Dead End]

lol, i got a neg rep sayin 'you should not have done this'. Guess they think recognizing this trend will play a part in spreading it...

[Dead End]

I would go into hiding, but it seems SOHH got rid of their forums.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

songs with no snare be sounding hella tribalish have me like

 

[SoulController]

very dope when done well

Alchemist and Roc are leading the charge, 4th Disciple has a few old beats that have little to no drums. RZA too

 

[ZEB WALTON]

i been doing it beat wise for a minute. it works when your a lazy producer who makes numerous beats like myself. a different type of zone. only works with certain rappers voices tho imo

 

[NewWaveEra]

"Bang" doesn't really have strong drums, and the Chief still rips it...

i think "my nikkas" or "sosa" - i can't remember - has no drums/no snare...

 

[DaveyDave]

i think "my nikkas" or "sosa" - i can't remember - has no drums/no snare...

no drums is completely different to no snare

Examples?

Rza was doing this in the late 90's together with the other wu producers... its only good with certain mcs. They used this around cappadonna pillage era

What was up with the vocal sample in the hook being so loud though? I guess the song was unfinished/unmixed
