He would always show up whenever someone said anything negative about him or was negative about making beats with loop kits, I know he was lurking that thread all day lmao.

I remember he doxxed somebody bad, posted his facebook and his moms

loops are nice but most producers get lazy when they see how easy is it to make 'type beats' and mostly just drag n' drop some drums loops over some sample loops and call it a day

ppl are mad cos russian kids are selling loops pack for 10$ ?

industry is down bad

Yeah this s*** is f***ing stupid

It’s cus hip-hop is so commercialized and all these new MFs (rappers and producers) forgot the roots for the genre or don’t even care

If there’s no appreciation, how do you expect these new dudes to take this genre seriously

There’s no love for the game

Loooool

I think production software being simplified and easier to pick up like a video game is actually a positive thing but I understand that statement as the creation of music losing its dynamism and being more akin to beating a formulaic level in a video game

100%. Everyone’s style should sound like them.

I think saturation bled into the production realm which was inevitable. I can see why Internet Money can have something to do with it but they also inspired a lot of young bloods, double edged sword.

What I do have an issue with is some of these rookies have no respect for the culture and aren’t doing their studying. This is where hip hop and culture starts to die off. The game was built with lots of moving parts and aspects that create a community with many pillars of art and showcase. Let’s not forget how much hip hop did for fashion. So all these aspects need to be respected. You can still make new waves and bring new ideas without tearing down the walls that inspired you to join This Thing of Ours.

We just need to protect our foundation man. I don’t understand what’s so corny about emphasizing this. It’s corny to disrespect the table they strive to dine at.

Word to Marci, this rap world truly feels like an all girls school nowadays.

type beats watered the game down
One time for the producers creating their own .wavs + cooking they own sauce

To me it kinda goes against the art and beauty of sampling. What makes sampling interesting is that producers sample things that weren't meant to be sampled to begin with, these were real songs with their own identity and soul before being transformed into a beat, and that way you can also stumble upon some really obscure things no one ever thought about sampling before, whereas on splice everyone has access to the same soulless sample library so the loop you're using might have already been used in hundreds of beats.

hey p****, are you gonna post any of your music? @darklex150

nah nah nah not this time nigga u following through

ya,aha is def dope - if you havent already and want to practice and f*** then i really suggest getting A***og Lab, they have hella full on keyboard vast version of real physical hardwares from very famous to few obscure ones AND you can fully tweak/tune/edit them like a real piece of hardware interacting with all it buttons, knobs and cords in its interface that does a full on 3d model version of the hardware piece in advanced interface edit mode

i ahevnt bought any retro hardware but i have a friend in tucson AZ who has hella of that s*** along with guitar pedals, samplers and physicals mixers + buses its so dope

some of my fav retro hardware off top of my head is the buchla easel, yamaha dx-7, juno-6, mellotron and prophet 5

the 2nd piece of modern physical hardware i wanna get is probably the Arturia Mini Brute

I fw fruit loops no diddy

it did way more harm than good lol and actually hurt people including "the kids" when they try to stick out and do anything different.

you dont know what youre talking about.

the good is making everything more accessible and stop gate keeping "secrets"even basic s*** and helping each other. that is umn no one can deny.

but, the bad is the homogenizing all the sounds, gamifying it and making it a rat race, creating terrible contracts attaches to loop kits that f*** over a lot of people & f***ing up the algorithm where only "type beat" tags get you anywhere that destroys the variation of other beat styles and also producers own created beat style.

it is not all good lol and any decent producer would tell you this.

nothing he said is even controversial. he didnt say loops and s*** are bad, he said the attitude and gamifying everything is - that turned a lot of s*** into a pyramid scheme and ad war.

stay in school kids

i got u

and def it can help and especially with connects, one of my niggas just did 1 year to learn more about mixing and mic set up and he learned a lot and plus connected withh a few people that helped him hella

i never went to school for it but i had a big homie that did who taught me alot irl especially with beat structure and sound design. he was my main source of irl teaching while everything else i self-taught through online with youtube searching then also talking to others on various sites - i met him my senior year in high school and kicked it with a lot my first 2 years after HS

school and/or being around someone irl that traditionally knows what theyre doing i would highly suggest

nick mira also has hella predatory contracts with his loops that are worst than sample clearances

big controversy of it few years ago

i never went to school

stay in school kids

what almost every modern producer goes thru at some point

then they either quit, or try to upgrade themselves

lmfso

I never heard about that

Bout to look into it

well i think this is all just a byproduct of how the internet made it so anyone can be a producer. of course there will be a lot of phonies but that also means that there will be a lot of amazing production
