honestly, kinda fine with it, producer space needs more energy in it these days

if hitboy never talked, id like him a lot more

Hit-boy? More like hater-boy haha

Talking down on trap producers is corny and so 2007

metro is better and why would hit-boy try to s*** on him when metro has been actively grieving the death of his mother? like fine u wanna have some fun calling little shots but maybe not him ?

Hard

Coulda made this point without dismissing sampling as an artform. It's not the flex u think it is

he got better as a rapper but the mic presence is still mid

Can’t stand when people are to scared to throw shots so they throw in compliments at the end. Just tell it how it is

What has this guy produced btw?

Finally somebody said it lol. Producers these days are boring

I'm not dismissing it. I'm just not impressed by producers who take a melody from a well-known song and slap a couple of boom bap drums under it without changing the original at all. A creative sample or a vocal chop is a completely different ballgame

That's what I assumed he did for at least the majority of his beats. Could be wrong and that would suck if true

Looping is just as valid as chopping. It takes an ear to know what to loop and u have to dig to find it anyway. All that matters is if it sounds good

Hit's the illest outta' this new age of producers from a mainstream standpoint.

Conductor Williams, Daringer, Real Bad Man keeping s*** gutter in the indie scene.

So let me get this straight…

Buddy is throwing stones at some of the most game-changing producers of the modern era for not doing a specific subgenre (mind you he has not changed the landscape in remotely the same fashion as Metro/Southside/Mustard as he doesn’t have a distinct sound), is a producer but is secretly so attention seeking and insecure that he had to make a whole ass rap diss, and we’re supposed to buy that this is “friendly competition”…

Man got gassed up caused he produced nondescript anachronistic beats for a few Nas albums and now he has the courage to bite that chip on his shoulder. You dusty niggas are eating it up too is the funny part LMAO. Sad but I commend the balls I guess lol

So after reading the thread I'm now on Hit-Boy's side. Everyone else sounding like b****es and being sensitive when Hit-boy is just being competitive. and he's kinda right

What is he even right about tho? Metro and Southside, two Atlanta trap producers from the 2010s, and Mustard whos a West Coast club producer, don’t chop soul samples or make boombap…great now what? Hit-Boy isn’t making some grand point for pointing that out like who gives a s*** if they don’t make that type of music lol

The real takeaway from this is that a lot of you mfs think boombap and drumless soul sample loops is the only valid type of production in hiphop let’s talk about that

Really don't get why everyone angry or upset bout this itt lol
These are the most mild shots ever too

He's just saying he's more versatile. Hitboy makes trap beats too bro

Because Hit makes both types and yet he’s never given the same respect as “drops three trap beats in a year” Metro

Metro uses loops tho

Nothing wrong with that but don’t s*** on sampling if you use loops

I think the greater point isn’t just about boom bap (he could’ve worded it better and not focused on that part so much)

It’s just that a lot of producers today are very formulaic
