i cant think of a noted critical or charting rapper who's used an S&C hook in a major song in the past several years. cmon. trends come in to fashion & go out again

not hooks, but there are tons of kanye songs where he screws a line here or there for emphasis, including "marvin & chardonnay" and "jigga's in paris" last year, so it just seems weird to me to hear "mercy" and think 'oh where did he get THAT idea, who must he be playing catch-up with'
― some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 23:12 (twelve years ago) link
im not saying it was that he was playing catch up per se but cmon wasnt it co produced by hudson fucking mohawke

who?
― some dude, Thursday, 28 June 2012 00:31 (twelve years ago) link
i just mean hes obv at this point very much a keep-up-with-whats-trendy type producer & has been for a few years, and half the choruses on that asap record that shut down ny press from, remember, less than a year ago, were a strange disconnected S&C style similar to this, i dont really think its that farfetched
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 28 June 2012 00:32 (twelve years ago) link
hudson mohawke is a critically acclaimed british producer iirc who does, like, i dunno, its not dubstep, but its electronic beats without rapping
I can't believe someone did a hudson hawke reference as a name

listen kanye is sad desperate old trend-chaser, i just think screw is rap public domain. it's like when anyone who said "swag" was suddenly biting odd future even though there had been a bunch of huge songs w/ that word in it 2 years before anyone heard of those guys.
― some dude, Thursday, 28 June 2012 00:39 (twelve years ago) link
actually i feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier but "a milli" is really the biggest slowed-vocal-loop song of the last few years and a lot of its many knockoff songs followed suit, although obviously the way it's used there isn't really the same as the trad screwed hook thing

most of his tracks are crazier/wackier heavy synth shit, but he's at his best when he reins it in. there there's TNGHT which is more of a 'let's work with rappers/get money' project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygKLQ1ItVGY

only reason i'm half-interested in TNGHT is cause of lunice
― The Reverend, Friday, 29 June 2012 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
aw rev. yeah he's made tons of ridiculous (as in silly) tracks but i think he's super talented. 'butter' had like three good tracks but they're good enough to carry the record. we can take this to another thread though.

i generally don't like any of those uk producers but i like some hudson mohawke tracks
― carly rae (flopson), Friday, 29 June 2012 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
i think i hate him for the same reason i hate rustie. garish dayglo synth nightmare bullshit.
― The Reverend, Friday, 29 June 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
rustie is better but still kinda overrated

rustie is def better

He has tunes that are either legendary, or they suck dick.

ha is there some kind of deej code about mentioning a song without posting a youtube that implies 'i want to discuss this song but do not endorse it'

i just posted that b/c the artist/guest synergy seemed like it would be notable & then it turned out that gunplay is singing
