hungry_mantis posted:In other news, Hit-Boy stole loops to create Niggas in Paris and Cold. If you listen to the previews for this, you can definitely hear it.. http://www.bigfishaudio.com/detail.html?512011 If you buy the loop pack, you can use them royalty-free in commercial work, so unless he pirated the loop pack, Hit Boy's in the clear. I mean, yeah loop packs are kinda lame, but it's also nothing new either. I seem to recall Puff Daddy being quoted in music production magazine ads for loop packs back in the late 90s/early 00's. EATIN SHRIMP's got it right basically.

Future's Adult Swim Singles Track/Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNwQeiK1O9Y I definitely dig the animation and the beat. I'm glad Future's dialed the auto tune a bit too.

thathonkey posted:Most of the best releases were mixtapes. Dunno what that means exactly... Maybe that albums are typically too locked down/controlled by the labels, and/or too many artists only do serious rap on their mixtapes, as they are reaching burn out/playing it safe by the time they drop an LP. Just a guess.

Henchman of Santa posted:People are leaving Lupe off the list because he makes terrible creative decisions that overshadow his skill as a rapper This. Lupe is an excellent MC, but bats terribly on beat picking on about half of his albums, and can get distractingly melodramatic (he's been on "my next album is the last one" since the Cool.) That said, there's no denying he can deliver really clever, layered bars with the best of them.

The REAL Goobusters posted:gonna gather up a bunch of rap thread goons and buy a house in california I'm in. Wait nah. Boywhiz88 posted:LAMB and STAR are what got me into Brockhampton. LAMB won’t be on a physical release until the SATURATION boxset they’re planning. I don’t think they’re plants but they’re definitely savvy and well-produced enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they had an industry vet guiding/managing/consulting them. They're being managed by Kelly & Christian Clancy who managed/manages Odd Future. A huge piece of their approach can easily be explained as learning from Odd Future's "mistakes" - be a band/group proper focusing on doing many consistent group releases over erratic, uneven individual albums, kick out people who are causing drama, be a diverse but tight unit hence everyone in one house, use your existing connections (like the Clancys' to Vice) to accelerate without getting into the label system (which also helps keep the group together rather than split out over labels.) So even if they're not record industry plants, they're guided by music management vets.

It's incredibly similar in the ways that matter, I'm just wondering when Gambino or his producer would've heard it, as apparently it only had 500ish views before someone noticed the parallels. If that can be pieced together, that's everything.

He's easily the otaku-est of that set, but he's used that to get an international footprint going, which is a smart move. I'm biased though.

Plus, they're 3 for 3 with collabs. The chemistry is clear.

My immediate thought with regards to Tha Carter V is whether any of what it was originally gonna be would even be on the version we're gonna get. Whatever was shelved is almost certainly dated stylistically, yet, I don't quite see even more money being plowed into redoing everything either. Seems like there's a solid possibility it's some weird, uncohesive mix.

Did not expect the Joji swerve to fully melodic work out of Rich Brian, but he sure killed it. It's very 808s/MBDTF Kanye-ish too. Very curious to hear how his next album hangs together.

Well that's already deleted. Rageaholic posted:https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/1167154538643513344 If it's anything like a polished version of the Yandhi leaks, it'd probably be a fine album but no matter comes out (if anything) I doubt it'll be exciting or redemptive of his image. Edit: worse than being outright bad it'll probably just be boring.

is pepsi ok posted:Whoops, it was Teddy Walton saying he was working on Kanye's vocals and he was going to make it sound like Graduation. Not a bad Ye era at all, especially because he tended to lock his albums down well before release back then. Definitely makes me a little more curious. Dexo posted:Ye is still a very good producer Agreed, though his impatience regarding finalizing well before release definitely dinged TLOP and Ye, and may be part of why Yeezus leaked (Kanye's whole process lately doesn't strike me as having strong op sec.) If he can be just a little patient, I think it'd help both his production and writing.

The annoying thing with TLoP is if he'd just done what he did with Yeezus for TLoP, specifically getting an outside producer to help him lock it down both in composition and sequence with a hard deadline (it doesn't even have to be Rick Rubin either, just someone Kanye will take seriously,) there wouldn't be any patching, and the release would be better regarded for it. I'm kind of hoping the fact that he's iterated so hard on his new record means that he's able to avoid his recent rushed work, but it may not be unfair to say the last Kanye album where he was able to actually execute on his grand ideas without patching or major rework at the last minute by an outside producer was MBDTF. That's a fine criticism of his process at least.

Future saved autotune. It was on its way out, but he revitalized it by using it on a relatively novel way vs. T-Pain & Kanye to basically make straight up Trap tracks, just with autotune (and not even always in key.) I don't think we get the 2010s as we know it with out him.

My first rap CD was also The Score by The Fugees, which snuck by thanks to the covers which my parents were familiar with, though I'd already been interested in picking it up when I saw them perform "Fu-Gee-La" on Mtv. I think I picked up the cassingles for "Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs, "Gangsta' Paradise" by Coolio and "I Wish" by Skee-Lo around the same time.
