There's a reason why he hasn't been able to give a beat away to a relevant artist in the recent years either.


Not the same at all



Trap is already 10 years old, and it's receiving more acceptance by bigger non-hip-hop artist more than any other type of production.
You got Mike Will producing for Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus(last time we seen shyt like that was Timbaland's run) and big name DJ reaching out to trap producers because they fukk with the sound


Who's still making Boom Bap beats :russ:



since when do we put stock in what's accepted by outsiders?:whistle:

premo isnt poppin anymore because hes well past his prime, and he doesnt make cheesy commercial music to compensate for that. its that simple.

im not even a premo fan, but the fact that dude blew up in the '80s and yall are still talking about him 25 or so years later, says it all. on the flipside, these trap producers will be lucky if theyre remembered even 5 years from now.

Are you young nikkas so afraid of the past, that you have to dismiss arguably the most important era within hip-hop.

Funny thing is I like Trap Beats, but the thing is that it depends heavily on the rapper. If the rapper isn't nice on the mic than a trap beat is the most irritating sound on my ears, not saying that there weren't weak rappers in the Boom Bap era, but the better beats made the song tolerable, peep the Group Home album, amazing production carried very average rappers.

better than anything RZA made in the past 50 years


Wow. This is what's considered hot nowadays? :mjlol:


It sounds lazy, soulless, and borderline retarded, like it was made with a trial version of FruityLoops in 5 minutes. Reggaeton producers probably put in more work.

Thank god the South brought actual music composition to hip-hop :blessed: from Pimp C and Organized Noise, to Toomp and Shawty Redd, to Zaytoven and Lex Luger, Mike Will and Metro Boomin.

Sequencing pre-made sounds (which are samples, by the way,) isn't "composition," and isn't any different from what any old producers did. Fitting things together in a cohesive, structured way is actual composition, and from that standpoint, these trap beats are completely simplistic. There's only maybe 2 bars worth of material, and it's made out of just a few preset sounds and child-level melodies.

Eh....nothing wrong with trap beats, especially if that's what you grew up with then its understandable you wouldn't appreciate boom bsp.

But these ignorant little fakkits writing off a whole subgenre as garbage or weak can :camby:

I like trap music but the problem is it's superficial. It ain't got staying power. There's not many classic trap albums because the shyt is fast food music. You even look at how trap producers can go from top of the game to milk carton status in mere months.

It's entertaining music at its best but there's no fountain or heart to the music. Ain't no one gonna remember Lex Luger in two decades. Premo gets love to this day despite being largely irrelevant on a mainstream level since the 90s

Trap music is only powerful when you are high off (dope) hard drugs. Zombie music for demons. :demonic:

Life isn't one long night at the club, that shyt gets no play in this ride. :whoa:
