They're the face of the music

Because they're usually the face of the music

how far did you get before you realized it was the acapella version?

He hasn’t even put out a legit second single yet. And he’s vocals played a bigger part in that song blowing up.

simply because no one would listen to the beats if it wasn't for artists who jumped on it

I don't know much people who listen to beats on youtube just for fun

do you really think that Many Men is Eminem's song cause he's the one who made the beat AND mixed it? lol

also I'm almost certain that the type of people who listen to song and say s*** like "I like the beat ! " care about production the least

I think just when WMCIS came on.

Haven’t listened to the album in a while I thought it had just a long intro lol

the real issue is that the dude who made the loop/melody often gets no credit at all while the dude who downloaded it and made drums in 5 min is credited as the only producer of the song

real mount rushmore of the 2010s is mike dean, alex tumay, 40 and ali stay woke

It’s a very simple reason:

We’re listening to/looking at another human when he hear them and see them perform. The music in the beat will affect our emotional response and even most of why we relisten in a lot of cases, but in terms of credit? Nothing can supersede the importance of hearing another human’s voice in a musical way

Isn't that exactly what they said lol?

Because I'm young, black and my hats real low. Do I look like a mind reader sir, idk

Flows play a giant part. You listening to beat tapes only?

This reminds me of the scene in Atlanta where the engineer just gets abused by rapper

Look at those Beatbox remixes

A lot were good, but most ain't have that energy that made the og as popular as it was.

😂 nigga put out a whole tape lol

idk man I look up to producers more than most artists but I am also producer so that could be why

A 3 song meme ep of baby voices*

I see what you saying but this got vocals all over it lol

And this album wouldn’t be the same without the vocal chops

Vocal chops aren’t raps tho he still using them as another instrument

That being said most times in “traditional” rap yea the producer and rapper are equally needed but in the last 5-7 years I’m just saying most of these niggas floating by on beats image and label budgets lol

I hear that

There’s a lot Future/Thug clones out here but there’s a lot of white boy producers getting gassed up/opportunities for doing s*** niggas did years ago

Just like there’s only a handful of rappers that cause a shift there’s only but so many producers not making generic s***. To find otherworldly sounds you gotta look outside the mainstream space just like with rappers imo

Isn’t the Mario Judah point moot since he produces his own beats anyways?
