Last request: Can all producers please get paid?

Ludacris has that "Fast and Furious" money now

That's a blatant lie...fuck the producers. It's the rappers that make beats pop. If people only liked beats then dubstep and EDM would still be dominating.

People always say this and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Any hot producer right now could drop an instrumental solo album with no vocals and no one would listen to it or check for it, at least not the casuals. And vice versa, any popping rapper right now could drop an acapella album with no production on it and not a single person would listen to it.

The production lays the foundation and the artist elevates it to new heights and makes people wanna return to it and listen to it.

It's the opposite for me, he's really generalizing

Lot of Mustard beats are saved by the artists honestly

I somewhat agree

Song writers don't get enough credit, they don't even get a tag

There’s people on this site that admit they listen to rap for the beats more than the lyrics. Why else do you think every lyrical rapper except kendrick gets trashed but the niggas with trap beats all get praised

Remember when all you heard on the radio were f***in mustard beats 🤮

IMO, a good rapper and a producer combo are like a tag team.

They both add on to each other and they combine to make the most out of their talents.

The "DJ Mustard sound" is really just Bay Area s***

thats because dubstep had horrible beats. That was a WOAT era in music.

There are soooo many songs with generic ass beats that popped bc of how catchy the hook is or a quoteable in the song

The writer and the producer and the vocalist are all important and can all make or break a song, obviously there are songs where one is clearly the reason why the song is hot but i dont like to generalize because there arent many songs im actively playing where I only like the beat

I have nostalgia for that era of music tbh, good times

UK dubstep and what is known in the mainstream as dubstep are different genres entirely in sound.

Mustard most overrated producer oat

Yeah, that Hellcats and Trackhawks song is everywhere right now and there’s nothing really that exceptional or noteworthy about the beat, but it’s serviceable enough and Durk’s delivery and presence over it makes people wanna listen to it

Ignorant as f*** opinion, most these beats are f***ing boring without a rapper on them

His best albums have dope beats tho. But yeah you're right to an extent.

Ehh

I'd say hook is the most important. Could have the most basic beat ever but if it's catchy it will become a hit

Eh it’s like titties: yeah the boinga woinga tingy tongs draw you in (beat)

But at the end of the day she gotta have a face (vocals & topline) you fw in order to really be attracted on top of it
