thats like, prog-pop-rap like lupe or BOB style wedded to drake w/ some wiz in there too. wiz's stoned melodic sound is a lot closer to max b (who he's claimed as an influence, and i hear it in song construction tho not rapping) than the kind of listless ~vibing~ i hear from main attrakions
eh but who knows

main attrakionz are sorta their own subset & it's a bit harder to trace bcuz so much of the sound goes back to "i'm god"

oh for sure. even the corny pop hooks of latter-day lupe are on that kendrick record (and somehow come out much more listenable than lupe)

yeah I definitely hear a vibe-music influence in a lot of this stuff, though I don't know if that music had enough of an impact to have influenced the dudes making these beats

i dont think clams is at all connected to it, but there is an atmosphericness to 'vibe music' that does feel ~related~ even if not in a directly influential sense

Yeah, "I'm God" definitely feels like the breaking point for the Clams Casino/Keyboard Kid/Main Attrakionz end of this (but not Kendrick Lamar, who is more Wiz-influenced, or G-Side, who really at the end of the day just wish they were in Goodie Mob).

I dunno, vibe music is more like e-ed out party shit than introverted stoner music.

I feel that, but I don't think it was really intentional? Wiz just kind of made a more crossover-palatable version of his usual aesthetic and it ended up at that point. Most actual vibe rap is way faster though.

Most of the Main Attrakionz stuff I've heard is p boring (altho I feel like that has more to do with them as rappers than their cloud-vibe), but this is a total banger:

imo it has to do with them as rappers & them as songwriters. and the one-note-ness of their approach to cloud rap

is there an explanation of vibe music in this thread that i'm pretending not to have seen as deej says or is it in another thread as j0rdan says? i guess i'm just asking if it's a legit publicist-invented 'new genre' or just something that someone said on ilm and is now being parroted over and over

its ilx shorthand for talkin about the 6-7 songs that sound like grind mode / 'sensual seduction' so we dont have to type out all the words explaining that

I think 6-7 only really applied 3 years ago when we came up with the term. There's quite a bit more of it now.
