You could make a thread about it on an industry level there’s probably a lot of info

salute, mane

There’s actually a cool Spotify API that uses AI to record like how acoustic a song is, how melodic, how danceable etc on a percentage
I might have to play around and see if I can look at how that’s changed in the last decade

Great post.

Also just goes to show how the (increasingly small) number of people who don't f*** with hip hop (or the absolute worst only "real hip hop") are completely out of the loop as far as culture and modern art are concerned.

What’s it called

kaggle.com/yamaerenay/spotify-dataset-19212020-160k-tracks

It’s just called Spotify Web API but you gotta use like sqL or some s*** to pull from it

This guy has a dataset of 160,000 songs you can look at though

Thx this is hard

op need to write my research papers

dope thread, related

Don’t try to blame 808’s and Drake for the trash y’all got out rn

It was more R&B then most of her other s*** but yeah that's her biggest album and it was Pop like a mugg

Wish more r&b singers would leave the trap soul alone too.

Mainstream r&b/pop is literally waiting for more talented artist and we got niggas who would rather sing over trap beats when the market is right there.

The Weeknd and to an extent Chris brown seem to be the only artist who take advantage of it

good thread

need a whole a***ysis subsection for the threads like these to keep didn't read-ers out

I was just gonna bring this video up as well, it's interesting what rappers consider "melody" isnt actual melody and how it's ultimately more appealing to the masses for now

yeah learned a lot from those vids :)

@s

Good s*** man, KTT2 is not ready for think pieces tho

love threads like these, shoutout to OP

Been tryna get this idea to him but he don’t allow @‘s lmao

All HipHop (Drake and others) did was take Pop elements and put it into rap...

@user

I've beenn advocating for a "boomer" section for months and we still havent got it.

No mention of Thug at all in OP.
Tuh

I wonder how many people are gonna fall for this obvious bait

Not bait go from rappity rap to rap/sung where do you think it came from???
