Shame on everyone including myself for not mentioning that the new Mr MFN Exquire EP came out today.

Sucks it's only an EP but Its really good. His stuff I've always found a bit uneven despite the fact that he lowkey should probably have been mentioned with the best rappers out now, but Kismet was dang near perfect and Braniac's a great followup.

I'm hopeful won't have to wait as long for his next project, really hope dude gets some traction.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I finally listened to Scum gently caress Flower Boy, and while the production owns, overall it didn't really land as a cohesive package for me.

But man, Boredom is really pretty, I Ain't Got Time! slaps and Who Dat Boy is without question one of the best tracks of 2017. And the flows on November are insane.

Basically what I'm saying is a quarter of this album is really loving good.

At EP length, this would've been one of my favorite releases of the year.

floating 26" off da ground. BURR!
Tonight was a trip. I saw one of my best friends get married, I've known her since the 5th grade. Had a lot of great conversations.

The rap thread is what I look at first every time I pull up SA.

There's a lot of love in this world and nights like tonight make me think I'm capable of all that too. Thanks for being a friend, every one of you reading this.

I actually think his last one wasn't nearly as bad as folks here make it out to be. Wasn't amazing, but has some solid stuff on there.

I kinda liked these days, never listened to the last one. I've been listening to brainiac a lot this weekend. I agree it's good, it lacks some of the depth that power and passion and live forever had even though they're all the same length. I still wish he'd come out with an album (black genius??)

i don't know if you're old, this sounds like the beginning of every conversation I had with college hipsters trying to one up each other: "yeah totally overrated heh dissapointing really, unrelated band namedrop." can confirm you're definitely uncool though!

i mean that in a nice way ofc totally kidding we're all about fun conversation here and all bad opinions are equally valid in the rap thread!!!

The music sounds average at best to me, is what im saying. Does it sound outstanding to you?

*insert album everyone likes* is overrated as hell. I'm ready for everyone to tell me i'm old and uncool, but I don't hear anything in the music that justifies all the hype surrounding it. It reminds me of the hype that *insert relatively obscure rapper I really like* had. And I don't see it holding up any better than *insert relatively obscure rapper I really like* albums have. I've listen to this album several times, but the beats, lyrics, melody, sound average.

How much control do rappers have when auto-tune is used? What is the creative process with that? Do artists hear the audio in the studio? Is it done in the moment or post production? Nobody ever explained this to me.

I would have to imagine the artist has complete control over the amount of autotune but takes direction from the producer/engineer. It is usually done in the moment so that the artist can hear himself with Autotune in his headphones vs. the raw vocals that could be distracting. Post-recording, they may adjust to taste.

At a really basic level, the producer has to ask "Can this rapper hold a note?" If the answer is no, then they ask "Does it matter?" If the answer is yes, throw on some autotune and adjust the amount to taste.
