i was listening to destroy lonely album and i was thinking damn what if a mainstream rapper had these beats but nope they wanna make boring street blues instead of fun hook based trap nowadays.
thats why gunna king of mainstream rap he always picking floaty beats
examples of floaty beats

@op example of mainstream street blues?

Banking on me is the worst beat itt so far

polo g
rod wave
quando rondo
lil durk
lil tjay
nba youngboy
lil baby
stunna gambino
toosii
JI
yung bleu at points

still a amazing beat

Idk
I know the style in op is very niche tho
If a mainstream rapper picked it up it’d be biting
The market will decide if this really poppin or not

gunna gonna end up top 10 all time when it’s all said and done off beat selection alone

it wasn't niche to pick good beats in 2018

Good beat is subjective
Like I said the styles in op is niche

im just saying back then ppl picked good beats gunna is from that era and lil baby forgot how to pick beats

September 9, 2001
Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking a valley
An ambulance came and took out a dead woman. Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking. They hadn't closed her eyes yet
She must have died on the way. A car full of family and friends came in with the ambulance
They were all crying and hugging each other. One woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body asking her to wake up
I had to tell Gary that her soul went to Heaven. I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew it'd be easier for him to understand
Two days from now, at 9 AM, the planes will hit the World Trade Center, killing over 3,000 people
I will tell Gary that there is no God, and all of this is meaningless
But today, there is a God. And he has a plan for him
He doesn't know it, but a year from now, our family will be torn apart and I will move far away and won't see or talk to him for five years
And as we sit on the hood of our car, the sun goes down and he asks me what I want out of my life. I tell him I don't know

I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before, where I'm riding in a car full of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard and smoking a cigarette and we swerve off the road and hit a tree
I go through the windshield and hit the edge of a fence, dislocating my jaw and flipping me into a wall where my neck is broken, and my skull is fractured
I bleed to death in excruciating pain
I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of the strangers, one by one introducing them all to one another until we are a close group of friends. I will set these events in motion, and I will die

But today in the warm light of the sunset, I don't see it. I just see the sunset
I smile back and shake my head
I have absolutely no idea
I am afraid

Need Drake on Alchemist/Conductor Williams production

No

drake is picking better beats than a lot of mainstream guys

this is even more hilarious coming from a dude with reggaeton artists as his username lmao

Talking about lack of interesting production in rap for god's sake

I like when the backing Melodies are ambient / electronic stuff rather than blues/r&b stuff

Mostly cuz I grew up on the first

For sure

Back in my day this would be like saying why isn’t future or Drake or Kendrick rapping on these type of beats

It’s a niche in the genre is what I’m saying

i like rnb blues s*** its just the way rod does it is so boring and generic id rather listen to actual rnb

future is literally an example in the op

Man you not trying to hear what I’m saying lol nm

now if only the guys on the cool lil beats could actually rap we’d make some progress

future lone and gunna slander isnt allowed

now imagine having fire production fire aesthetic fire delivery and fire vibes
