(oldhead post alert)

21 savage album had me in shambles ngl

There was some great beats on it, but it felt like 95% of the verses he wrote he didn't care about and this runs rampant throughout the industry

Problem being there is literally no competitive spirit rn, everybody getting their bag and calling it a day

I remember times when rappers got embarrassed for going soft on great beats cause half of DatPiff would jump on their s*** or someone would renegade them on a freestyle for a radio show

It was a win-win for the culture cause great beats didn't go to waste, artists that cared about rapping got exposure and established artists had to step their pen game up

Tldr: the culture needs a comp mixtape (preferably hosted by DJ Drama) with rappers caring about rap doing recent beats justice

DSPs killed beat jacking cause u have to clear beats now. Free sites like DatPiff would have to come back which they won't. SoundCloud is right there but nobody wants to upload there tho. S*** getting sold anyways

Felt like panda was the final song to really get this treatment

I made a megamix of all those remixes, and it got copy right strikes on SoundCloud. This is why it's died. F*** all these sample laws

Nah that ferg album and the who run it remixes popped off too

What were the big ferg songs to get remixes?

Surprised to see who run it got all those remixes, but I don't really listen to that kind of rap

One of the top 5 rappers unable to make anything but murder somebody elses beat

East Coast and Mattress

G herbo’s who run it

I really wish rappers would get back to doing this to promote their own music. Even hop on some hard pop beats

I miss actual remixes

Damn I didn't even know those got a bunch of remixes I'll have to fire up SoundCloud

The climate is perfect with all those bad rage songs with good beats tbf

with a different beat/ slighty more upbeat and a great guest verse .

And a completely different song structure

UENO was fye

and sometimes hit us with a whole new hook/chorus .

Yep

Lupe still be rapping on other folks beats occasionally as practice to keep his pen sharp

Diddy invented the remix so it’s tainted
