I can already see the usual clowns in here talking "why you gotta bring race into it, nothing's wrong with DJ BLACKFACE it's just music!" I've been listening to Streetz Calling pretty nonstop. The more 'sentimental' songs on it aren't as good imo but the rest is great. The Dirty Sprite (I think thats what its called? has "yeah yeah" on it) tape is pretty live too if I remember correctly

I don't get future. Tried a few of his mixtapes but he just sounds like someone with a voice impediment to me. Can someone put into words what exactly is so amazing about him?

You either feel Future or you don't. At first I didn't like him either until I clicked with what he was trying to do. Don't expect lyrics and poo poo but expect good rear end songs.

phractured posted:It's not going to be a fad. UZ's mixtape set a precedent for what a lot of new rap music will sound like. I think with the Harlem Shake being so big we will probably see a lot of top 40 rnb chorus club bangers with (probably even more annoying) bro-trap elements. I don't really see how it can be the future of rap music when the better underground original version has been around for years.

I don't really see how it can be the future of rap music when the better underground original version has been around for years. Any time something hits big in the mainstream, its either on the way up or the on its way down. I think Harlem Shake is just the inevitable bang before people lose all interest in it. I listen to the kids and they are all tired of dubstep. Trap isn't going to replace it. Either people are going to swerve into more electronic stuff or they are going to return whatever they liked before.

temple posted:I think trap is hiphop version of dubstep and its minded out. I don't know what will bang in the club and I think the electronic community is providing more depth to it. But ultimately, everyone is tired of it. I can't see producers really being interested in it any longer than it can make them money. You are talking out of your rear end dude. Kanye West just hired Hudson Mohawke to produce for GOOD full time and Just Blaze is on tour with Baauer right now. Two of the biggest producers in rap music are really interested in it. I don't care about the baauer trap sound at all but its embarrassing to see you spout ignorance when Pusha t is going to be spitting over baauer beats in a year.

Yeah but Trap is starting to become the triphop where its just techno combined with hiphop beats and I think that Kanye/Hudson's music is going to a lot less trap and more techno. But no one has to admit its techno because of trap. I remember Em saying nobody listens to techno and I chuckled because he was hating so hard. People hate techno for some reason but if you mix it, its good. That trap stuff is going to fade away into something else. Its funny you mentioned Kanye because I've said it before that 808s and Heartbreaks inspired our last era of music and it did. You can see an unknown like Future completely co-opt it and that's how you know a sound is bigger than a trend. When I see a new unknown trap producer get some buzz, I'll buy it. Right now, its a cash-in, its a ticket seller, and its going to be embarrassing by the end of year to be doing techno trap. I think Kanye is going to borrow some of it but it won't be what you are expecting. Trap isn't new, its just mainstream but people already moving out of dubstep and to think trap has legs behind it outside of ATL rappers and hanger-ons is riding the hypebeast. Anyways, I listened to the Czarface release and its meh. The features are good though. I can't help to think that Mr. MFN Xquire is chronically slept on and creeping on the spotlight, like some Kendrick Lamar poo poo. The Man in the High Castle got smothered by other releases but it is still good today. I can go back and relisten to it and I can't go back to a lot of stuff from past year. People are going to be calling this trap before its all over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-iwGj4vd_0 temple fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Mar 11, 2013 |

Jeez guys these are popular EDM musical genres in the year 2013. The chance of them dying out entirely is basically nil. Some of it will stay and just residually influence stuff for a while, and there will probably be a core group of die hard fans that listen to it, at the very least. That's if you are being especially pessimistic. Trap is pretty drat huge in the Houston EDM scene. Plus, I don't really understand why everyone wants to be the Nostradamus of musical genres and predict which ones are doomed and which ones are going to pop, unless you are a loving label A & R or whatever. Mainstream, run of the mill Dubstep has been pretty boring to me for a while now but there are still a poo poo load of fans there even if Taylor Swift doesn't release another dubstep-influenced tune. Anyways, I personally welcome all outside innovation and influence to Rap right now because that keeps it interesting for me. I plan on going to see Baauer and Danny Brown when they come here and I expect a hell of a good show. quote:Yeah but Trap is starting to become the triphop where its just techno combined with hiphop beats

The reason those artists get mentioned alot is because they ARE relevant or w/e. I think riff raff is pure garbage and the most mistrelish poo poo out but dude puts out a bunch of music. Same for pretty much every artist you mentioned there. You [s]talked about[/p] posted a link to a youtube for Exquire earlier, when his albums dropped he was getting mentioned constantly (hell, in the last couple of pages someone just randomly linked the huzzah remix). People quit talking about Gucci for a long time, then he dropped like 10 mixtapes in a month and surprise, people talked about him again. If there's dudes you want to talk about, just mention them. Also still don't see where you're going with the whole comparing cracker trap to triphop. Especially since I don't see a bunch of people who wouldn't admit to listening to rap or techno (although i'd guess by techno you mean edm rather tha actual techno but w/e) And since you mentioned him, Exquire is ridiculous but he's almost too lyrical. Power and the passion was actually kinda bad, but his other mixtapes usually have a bunch of amazing stuff with one or two songs that just don't work. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with a regular release, though.

I don't know what the gently caress half these genre's you guys talk about are but Trap rap is called that because the people that rap about it ACTUALLY SOLD DRUGS. The neighborhoods are called traps because its giant trap nobody ever moves out of. It has nothing to do with the beat. Gucci, Jeezy, TI, UGK, Freddie Gibbs, Boosie. That's trap rap. I don't know what the gently caress that other poo poo is.

It's only producers lookin to make that $$$ pulling back on samples. You still have underground (ie metro zu, under achievers etc) sampling heavily. But you run into situations like the main attrakionz album where they sell out their trademark sound on their album to try to get more sales and that kinda sucks. Not that not sampling is necessarily bad (look at a certain Mr. Fresh!) but I agree beats are suffering from it in a lot of rappers music Tolkien minority fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Mar 11, 2013 |

temple posted:I don't think releasing mixtapes make people relevant or exciting or influential. But I know that flies in the face in the new generation of hiphop fans where everything is about fandoms. That's my opinion. I kind of miss commerical rappers because they try to make music good enough to sell instead of staying in their comfort zone. But in honesty, the mixtape rapper isn't everyone and its interesting to think about who is pumping mixtapes and who isn't. Some rappers aren't giving away music and you will see more commerical people pulling back on the mixtapes. First I agree just releasing mix tapes doesn't mean someone is influential or relevant. But neither does releasing regular albums. And I gotta say you may be the first dude I've heard suggest going commercial helps improve an artists quality. Since trying to sell generally means playing to the LCD and whatever is trending. And sampling has died down, but I hardly think kanye has anything to do with it since he can afford to sample whatever the hell he wants. Also don't see why you have this odd aversion to edm, if anything that stuff had always had rap ties
