What era has the best production??

[Turbulent]

i want to say early to mid-90s

 

[Wacky D]

i was gonna say, the music of today is loud,yes but it doesn't Pound like the older music does. the kicks on most songs before 2006 are louder than the bass lines of today's songs

yep. these trappy kids swear theyre listening to the hardest beats.

real spit, keith sweat beats went way harder than this trap chit.

84-86?
87-89 was better IMO.

ehh.

the late '80s lacked that slap.

 

[observe]

well alot of those samples came from older hip-hop.

but the point is, how much can someone be praised for str8 loops?





the east coast sound doesnt have to rely on samples. shoot, i voted the mid-80s, which was 90% east coast and not nearly as sample-heavy as other eras. and theres been alot of outstanding east coast production in recent years that never got its props because they werent stamped & pushed by record labels.

im good. im not stressing the samples that much.

what the fukk you talking bout what era was sampling more than 90s eastcoast?

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.

 

[TEKBEATZ]

those death row samples

AGREED


sampling is EVERYTHING... basic nikkas would just loop a part, then add drums

nikkas like havoc was playing old classical records slowed down and backwards and shyt... rza was out here on mtv, giving away production secrets... "you like the sound of a drum, sample just that, then you have their drums but can play them in any key"

nikka was out here sampling 1 drum at a time and shyt...

that's why people say east coast will never come back.. cause the law used to be if it's under 4 seconds, you DON'T HAVE TO PAY... so nikkas was sampling drum lines, hooks, melodies, 1 drum, a 2 second horn hit, everything.

now it doesn't matter if its half a second.. you gotta pay up.. that's why everyone is on fruity loops and shyt now.. it's quicker and cheaper to download some kits and click away till something sounds good... than to find a record store, chop up a sample from 1963, make it so good you can't even tell where it's from, and still have to pay out 8 different people for the record

Early to mid 90s.... that analog gear (Sp1200,ASR10,MPC3000) made the drums sound soooo full!!

 

[Piff Huxtable]
