How the Triplet flow took over Rap

[Busta Carmichael]

basically make some shit to give their juggalo kings credit ...

a triplet sounds different depending who rapping

it's the evolution of what Street Military was doing and other pioneers


I think Street would mix it up never stay with one flow

that makes them better

I agree with Snoop that himmini hummini shit gotta go

Infamous would just repeat that triplet for the most part it's sounds robotic

while Street Military shift gears in and out the true pioneers !!!!

If the day ever come that I am rewarded with a mod spot. My first action in office will be banning you from IC property. Your retarded ass will be posting from Pelican Bay after its all said & done

Lmaoooo

Poor Righteous Teachers/Jaz-O and Jay-Z /Twister/ Chip fu of the Fu Snickens/Daz EFX made it popular and was doing it before 3 Six and Bone Thug in that order. Jay-z battle Wise Intelligence of PRT in the late 80s when Jay lived in Trenton NJ. Probably how he and Jaz-O started rapping like that. Jay been know to borrow styles from other niggas.

I feel like they missed an opportunity... Yeah, the new cats are using the triplet flow but they're doing it differently than Lord Infamous, Chuck D, Krayzie and nem...

For example, check out the infographics they used for Chuck D...

Then Lord Infamous...

And Tommy Wright...

Now check out Migos...

Desiigner...

And Young Thug...

What the new cats use that the old cats didn't are rest notes in specific spots throughout the verse that break it up into stanzas and leave a pattern of placeholders for ad-libs which have become synonymous with the flow and are more widely used than ever before...

This creates a call-and-response between bars, which in itself is catchy, relatively easy to do and gives the listener a chance to dab or what have you...

So yeah, the video is correct in that rapping in triplets is nothing new, but using the combination of triplets, rest notes, and ad-libs in this fashion may in fact be attributed to Migos...

Thanks... I appreciate it...

The problem I have with videos like these is that they go in like "Lemme prove Migos ain't doing anything new"... then they do all this research and make these statistics then ignore the results to make a narrative...

Anyone could look at these graphs and notice a trend, yet they didn't mention rest notes throughout the entire video... what's the point of over-analyzing something just to over-simplify?

Then, they make it seem like there are only two ways to rap... regularly and using triplets... They group all these rappers together... Sure, Chuck D and Dismasters' flows are almost identical but Krayzie Bone was on some completely other shit...

If Migos didn't make any innovations to the triplet flow then why is it so popular all of a sudden? They must be doing something different...

This is what happens when outsiders come in and try to translate an artform to make it more palatable to the uninitiated... but I digress...

Lol at a white bitch trying to school me on some hip hop flow shit. White folks always trying to explain some black shit to black people as if we didn't create the shit in the first place. Miss me with that culture vulture white ass narratoring bitch. Fohwtbs

I think you kinda missed the point of the video. They weren't really trying to take anything away from anyone or discredit the Migos. The video was more of a response to Snoop's comments. Snoop implied that the flow was just something that niggas was doing nowadays and that there wasn't much to it. The video was giving a history to show that it wasn't just some flash in the pan thing that is hot right now. The video also tried to show that use of the flow was more versatile than Snoop was implying. What you wrote was a good extension to the information they brought, but I don't think they were trying to go as deep as explaining how each user of the flow differs from others.

Bruh, you triggered because a white woman is talking about Hip Hop? The shit wasn't a tutorial to you personally. It was some background for people that aren't in the know. The target audience might not even be black people. It could be white fans or asian fans or anyone who isn't in the know.

 

[genocidecutter]

I think it's harder to replicate bone or twistas flow because the speed of the flow varies and it's unpredictable. Bizzy bone verse on mo murda is the epitome of their style, shit was beautiful.

Tech N9ne and Twisted Insane can.

I wasn't expecting them to go into the the differences of each instance of triplet flow, but for them to imply that Migos is just doing what Chuck D and Lord Infamous was doing is just ignorance...

For her to start the video with "This has been around for a long time" is ignoring the significance of what is happening in the musical soundscape right now...

I wonder who was the mod that added "duck duck goose" to the tag? :bawling:

But it was. You obviously showed that what the Migos does with their usage of the triplet flow is different from what Chuck D did with it. That's fair, but that doesn't mean she was incorrect in saying that the triplet flow itself has been around for a long time. She never claimed that Chuck D was doing exactly what the Migos was doing.

But does Snoop criticize the triplet flow or the way Migos and everyone else is using it today?

 

[genocidecutter]

Heres another good example of the triplet flow

Lo Key - The Devils Knock ft. Playboy The Beast

 

[kzzl]

Faces Of Death was Bones first album. Re-released in 93, but locally released sometime earlier judging by their appearance on the album photos. COACU isnt really accurate to the timeline shown.

Krayzie has said it was a line in a Big Daddy Kane song that seeded the roots of their style. He thought to do entire verses that way instead of just one rhyme.

WHO THE FUCK DECIDED ON THE PHRASE TRIPLET AND WHEN?

IM NOT ABOUT TO SHOVE ANY STYLE UNDER A LABEL JUST BECAUSE SOME ARBITRARY PERSON SAID "TRIPLET".
