Why do most East Coast beats sound like garbage when they can't sample records or bite from other regions?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Some (not all) had interpolations. But 1000% your point still remains. South still used heavy samples til the Mannie Fresh era took off

MFers in here acting like sampling only refers to east coast boom bap type sound.

Irrelevant information

It don't matter that other regions sampled. The point is they still sound good when they don't

East coast for the most part is cheesy and swagless without sampling

nikkas bringing up mantronix and the roots knowing damn well the majority don't sound like that

Exactly the shyt I'm talking about

 

[Da Jungles]

Feelings are definitely hurt in here

East Coast is built on sampling, and that's how it should be. Once the region moved away from samples into trash-ass 'digital beats,' their sound got progressively worse. Swizz has like 1 dope beat for every 24 hot garbage beats...dude is just awful

South sounds dope with digital beats. The east does not.

Regionalism needs to continue its gradual return to hip hop.

The east doesn't need samples it needs MUSICIANSHIP, you cant sample every time. That eats into your royalties (look at Diddy and Bad Boy). You're better off creating your own loops THEN sampling that

Non-sampled East Coast beat

How you go from this to that bullshyt in a one year time span?

 

[Chip Skylark]

The South samples too

Alot more than people think

Yep A LOT! I think the 808s throw people off and it isn’t as noticeable to a lot of listeners. But 3-6 sampled a lot. Metro samples a lot.

40 years? What about all those neptunes songs from 98-2002ish. Super Thug, I Just Wanna Love U, etc.

Ruff Ryders Anthem?

That’s still 27 years ago.

Think about it: right now you’d be hard pressed to name current East Coast producers who make hit beats without samples. You can do that for the South, Midwest & even West Coast.

Far better that everybody involved broadens their skill sets to be able to make a better product across the board. Artists and producers alike. Too many talented people afraid to experiment and learn new things because they're stuck on the idea of a "sound" they feel they need to adhere to...that ain't growth.



I still want that Mos Def/Mannie Fresh collab

You ain't wrong

Any East coast hits the last 10-15 years have all been thotty trash or wannabe ATL shyt

The South has the blues influence to draw from and jazz AND funk was huge on the West Coast. So we can mix that with the hip-hop sound.

NYC just had the bebop and hard jazz sound so unless you got skilled musicians like the Roots you don't have as much to draw from. That's why you had NY rappers like Busta putting Ozzy on their songs and making rock inspired hip-hop. There's house music too but house music is still lowkey associated with LGBT people. Maybe techno but that's more Detroit than NYC.

Ironically the New Orleans bounce sound was originated by a NY group.

This song was where Mannie Fresh and a few others got the inspiration to make bounce

 

[Jigganaut]

Is it “east coast” or is it NY? Florida is the east coast. At least qualify the statements in your pointless thread.

nikka where the hell are you from lol wtf is this nikka talking bout

 

[CashmereThoughts]

nikka where the hell are you from lol wtf is this nikka talking bout

I’m from NYC.

NYC don’t even claim the rest of the state let alone an entire coast. What did I say that you thought wasn’t accurate?
