To the dj mustard chat earlier, the dude is really good at making strategic songs. Twerk EDM music is all around 100 bpm, and most of dj mustard produced songs fall in the high 90s bpm range and mix into each other really well. His songs also seem to dot the entire key range, so you could easily just mix mustard to mustard for a whole set if you wanted to. Dude actually sucks at djing from what I've seen though.

I hated his voice, then I downloaded XXX and only listened to the songs where he uses a normal voice. Then slowly I started to love his crackhead voice. Try it.

That killer mike video is great, he really went well. Good thing they didn't get Cam'ron on. I would've liked it more if you could see killer mikes whole body as well as the female anchor though :(

Check this out^ Mixes by DJ Premier and HWLS on Diplo and Friends. HWLS is Ta-ku's side project with Kit Pop. I've met both dudes and they're great people. It's categorized as trap but it's not EDM style at all, both these dudes have been DJing hip hop shows and loving around on MPC's for years so they go deep with their stuff. You will probably like it if you like raps.

Do any US rapper use UK Grime beats? I always thought those were perfect for freestyles.

Google 'street bass compilations' and you'll find a whole shitload of albums by the label Seclusiasis. They are basically putting grime-ish instrumentals under rap with varying success.

Brodinski released his album, Brava. Brodinski is a French techno producer who produced part of Yeezus. He is good. I was going to write words to explain why but I'll just let his music and mixes explain that for me. He loves Houston and has traveled there while making this album.

A very good rap mix he did: https://soundcloud.com/ninalasvegas/brodinski-triple-j-mix-up-exclusives-with-nina-las-vegas

Brava Tracklist:
1. Can't Help Myself Feat. SD
2. Calculator Feat. Chill Will
3. Bury Feat. Maluca & MPA Shitro
4. François-Xavier Feat. Young Scooter
5. Warm Up Feat. Slim Thug
6. Need For Speed Feat. Louisahhh & Bloody Jay
7. Interviews Feat. Makonnen & Yung Gleesh

2014 was an amazing year in terms of great singles, and progression of rap in new more interesting directions. I would easily choose a crazy new style of beat gaining popularity or some new artists like Rae Sremmurd coming out of the woodwork than a year of blockbuster Kanye and Kendrick releases where nothing new gets a look in.

I remember some producers I follow talking about them years ago and specifically mentioning how Dre's music is so well mixed, you can enjoy it on any system. Most good producers mix for low end and high end setups.


That is the goal of almost every mastering. It is also unlikely that he did the mastering and mixdown himself and even if he did, it is still standard practice.

I was always under the impression that the engineering and mix was all dre ever did.

Even if he did, making music sound good on various systems is a fundamental part of mastering. I'm not surprised people are throwing his name around to make a point, it isn't really anything special or unique to him though.

I've actually been surprised how lukewarm most dudes here seem on Boosie, esp since every throwaway album Gucci's followers piece together gets praised. I guess Boosie started talking too much sense after being released and can't be appreciated "ironically" anymore which would eliminate 95% of the Gucci fans around here.


It is actually because his music is bad, and nobody at all is paying attention to him.

I know it has been said but I'm so loving keen for grime to take over 2015, especially since I'm moving to London to study. I played German Whip in a club during a jersey club set and it went off, people are very keen for it. V glad I invested in healthgoth early.

Speeding up his verse took away from it, was a mistake. Adding the 808s only would've been a better decision.
