rolling gun sounds thread

well everything on it 'ruined it' but his sound clearly drove the conception

well yeah you can spot his beats NOW that he's flooded the market and very specific sounds/patterns have been repeated over and over, but i mean the whole thing where bmf/hard in da paint dropped and people acted like dude had a new sound just has me forever scratching my head

that is, compared to something like "superthug" or "a milli" that made a lot of its impact virtue of sounding like pretty much nothing else on the radio

there is some weird intangible rhythmic thing about BMF where it feels like its going in slow motion that feels particular to him but id have to think about how to articulate it

at first i was put off by it, too

the other day "BMF" came on and i was like okay i haven't heard this in a while, can i listen to this with fresh ears and maybe hear what other people heard? nope this is still boring inert awkward garbage.

maybe freeway or styles p if i want to get my some dude on

if you're admitting those are possibly the 2 most consistent east coast cats of the past few years i'll take it!

ha i am & i do think that. they both broke earlier, is the only strike against them (same w/ AZ)

yeah it's a double edged sword, i admire the longevity of those cats (especially considering how hard a lot of their peers have fallen off) but they still feel more like vestiges of another era than vital current artists

I'm not saying that lex or bangladesh feel pressured but that specific artists are specifically looking for "a beat that sounds like x hit" as opposed to working organically with a producer or w/e

Anyway I think Neptune's were pretty diverse in their apex & before their kokomo period

i dunno man i just think that's a very old problem for producers. think of how varied Lil Jon's productions have been and how eager artists must have been to get the next "Damn" or "Goodies" in 2004

wtf @ this trae/wyclef project

this is kinda dope tho http://hulkshare.com/73z4hma4vugx

i will warn you all tho that wyclef rhymes "houston" with "revolution"

hahahaahhahaha @ that dj drama video deej posted!!!!

i am bored of the lex luger beat

song title of the year: Murphy Lee's "I'm Dat Wut Dats Poppin"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7ahDZsWWo

title sounds suspiciously like a Lonely Island joint

Dear rappers,

Every time your friend with a decent digital can and final cut pro does a video for you that goes straight to youtube, it does need a pretentious "street cinema productions presents" logo at the beginning and a 2 minute intro of dialogue setting the scene for your groundbreaking clip of you rapping in your car and in a club with some models.

haha ma@tt otm

beat is kinda cold tbh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e47L3tL0KlA

i loved this until the chorus :-/

hey i think i like berner now, he raps like tyler the creator tweets, in title case

I May Have Made This Point Before

berner feat ampichino, freeze & smiggz - i play to win

dope beat from dj fresh but the chorus is sounding mad ham-handed to me, it needs to be less foregrounded or something

haha reading the complex e-40's fav tracks article, man that 'automatic' video feat. fab is so great

new KRIT is great

i've been listening to mostly hip hop recorded before 1995 lately other than the new E-40, so I feel like this thread is gonna be useful to me very soon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnfHlbBbL_g

i saw this the other day (only copy in the UK!) - it's absolutely beautiful

i dunno why but i downloaded this freddie gibbs tape
same problems as usual. feeling 'caught up in a daze' alright though

actually fuck it theres some beats on here

this guy's inability to transcend anything really hurts some high quality production

lol at collaborating with Blu

hmm this is kinda really awesome -- and as a bonus it's not even racially offensive!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia7I3Gd0I7I

on the other hand why did anyone ever actually like wale?

lol saw jackie chain, freddie gibbs, smoke dza & big krit last night
young jeezy came on stage to 'lose my mind' & freddie gibbs is joining his camp which means, i dunno

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClHwCOvfVTw

someone on soulstrut found the sample source for 'my aura' by gside

the r4 theme song on the big krit release samples this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOxMUZ9avnM

yo, thanks!

never heard that song before, it's great!

and yeah it's been a week but that krit song bangs

http://www.poundmag.com/files/1812/9444/6267/Schoolboy-Q-Setbacks-Cover.png

this is great was youtubing after an rnt namedrop the other day & have been listening to this all night. bulk the tape (album apparently) is a lot of weed raps & chilled out stuff but best stuff is over these beats w/ heavier drums & dark keys kind of wish he could focus on that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttrYqSjd9Ik
had me jumpin out the sunroof/consequences u done ran thru/caught his ass lickin lookin pretty in them sandals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjOkdZVj98A
afghan hobbies got me feelin kamikaze/blow up the party slick as ladidadi

man na'tee turns that dude into a guest on his own song.

like those schoolboy songs a lot too :)

this is great http://spaceagehustle.com/post/4534017753/shady-blaze-shady-business-2011-green-ova-just#notes
