Ive been listening to a lot of older stuff ranging approx from 95-05 and thinkin how cool it would be to hear some modern day rappers spitting over these older beats on a mixtape or whathaveyou. Might just be a nostalgia thing for me but anyway, closest thing like that that comes to mind is this Christmas freestyle thing waka did where he rapped over a bunch of old classics... Well he's not new but 50 made a living on rapping on almost every popular beat ever. If you go and download any of his own mixtapes he and the unit probably rapped on most of all of the beats from that era. poo poo, sometimes their version was so good (50 was known for adding a new hook to a song), I wouldn't know that there was an original version till wayyyy after.

Yeah thanks I actually haven't heard many of 50's mixtapes. What are some of the best ones to start on? (I always like that Lil wayne did this same thing, there's got to be like a dozen SQuad tapes in addition to all of his other material)

^ thanks kinda off topic buit yeah im not sure how they thought this would be a success. to most people, spotify / google play sound just fine so why would they want to switch to a service with higher quality streaming as its only selling point. maybe they could have marketed it as a more niche product to people who do stream music through expensive enough stereos / headphones to care but as is i don't think this product can recover.

So with all this mnimn talk can someone help me understand why you just can't go hard on every song? Is it record sales won't allow it, artist just feel they need a change of pace, what is it?

That's definitely part of it, but labels often do play a part in it. Also kinda surprised people still checking for necro, dude's production has always been insane but his raps pretty much peaked on i need drugs. i know for the longest time i had hoped he'd work more with people outside of psychological, but by the time he did it seems he's only doing poo poo with dudes older than him. (as an aside, if you haven't checked his early movies they're definitely worth finding if you're a fan. kinda "artsy" stuff almost and at the time made me wonder how much of his "horrorcore" thing was just some elaborate satire or something). temple posted:The problem is there is no market for exclusive streaming services.

Also for dudes who dig instrumental stuff, Prefuse 73 has a couple singles up and an EP coming out near the end of the month. Also supposedly has 2 more things out this year and is producing an album for a mystery rapper. Checked one of the new songs and it's really good. Seems to blend a lot of what he did early with his later (2007+) albums. A lot of the more "synthy" sounds that he started using as he moved away from more traditional drum sounds are such a big part of a lot of rap now. It's kinda funny because at the time it was seen as him moving away from hip-hop stuff, but hip-hop ended up there anyways. Like pretty much any of the Clams Casino type stuff really sounds just like a tweaking of Prefuse's style. edit-i'll even include the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpcF_Fx7AlQ Marching Powder posted:without a doubt, on the raps thing. but i'll listen to every single thing he puts out just to imagine that beat in the hands of a better rapper. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Apr 23, 2015 |

Actually any song with Hit-Boy rapping should be boycotted. He went from Niggas in Paris, Goldie, Clique, and Backseat Freestyle to whatever the gently caress he does now. He's not a super producer who can rap and control the maestro.

How does it feel to have such a bad opinion (Ignoring that theyre signed to his label and get bombass production not actually him as a rapper in the group)

Lancelot posted:Sorry if we already discussed this, but the Wu Tang Clan's 20th anniversary tour is in London in July and I'm wondering whether it's worth it to buy a ticket. I really liked Sour Soul, but aside from Ghostface I haven't kept up with any of their recent stuff so I have no idea whether the others are still worth listening to. Also didn't they release a million dollar album or something last year? That's some Jay Z poo poo. Bit late on this, but it really depends on who's there. I saw them here in Dublin a few years ago and they were great, but it was mainly because of Meth. He's a hell of a front man and ran the show from start to finish. Without him it wouldn't have been half as good. A year later, I saw Ghostface/Gza/Raekwon and while it was solid, it was missing that spark Meth has. If it's the full line-up it could be great and Brixton would be an excellent venue for it. They've always been a bit shambolic live in my experience, but when it clicks it can be great. They're playing a mini festival here around the same time, but there's nobody else on the lineup I'm bothered with, but on their own I'd probably go.

polpotpotpotpotpot posted:waste of zaytoven beats Agreed. OG Maco got big cause he was way the gently caress out there and now he seems like he's trying to fight that by putting out a bunch of generic sounding rap. There were a couple tracks off his recent EPs that were solid but nothing on the level of any track off Give Em Hell.
