What era has the best production??

[Kingshango]

Early-mid 90's.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Mid 90s all day everyday.

There are a few beats in this current era that I hold to the high standards of the mid 90s. One is Man Of the Year by Schoolboy Q. I love that damn beat. Another is I Seen That Light by Lil B

A lot of this shyt today is so disposable

using a sample doesn't mean it's a loop. pete rock, premier, beatnuts and a million others were taking a piece of this, a piece of that and shaping up crazy hard drums and they were diggin HARD. puffy really started the looping shyt like that but it was still being done before that, just that people only did it when they had some crazy slept on shyt that nobody else had.

why is it so hard to accept that the east coast sound is SAMPLES. the 80s laid the foundation and it took off in the 90s. pick up a sampler, after you spend hours, days, weeks, months, years digging for records nobody used or found yet and listening through them ALL until you find that one piece. how do you appreciate a great hip hop album if you don't understand the science behind what has gone into basically EVERY classic hip hop album?

for real i hate you oversimplifying fools that equate sampling to looping, like it's some easy shyt you do in your sleep. i'm over here with stacks of records just cause they got a hard open snare on one joint and then i gotta read some idiot that thinks you just fukkin will a sampled beat into existence.

what do you dudes keep arguing with me about? youre the 2nd person to argue me down about some chit that i never even said.

and yes, dr dre was str8 sampling, long before puffty. i heard half the chronic before death row even existed.
