808s is like fast food for people ears. That shit ended the versatile boom bap music and into predictable, cheesy southern inspired strip club music. We live in a southern led culture now and producers reflect that. Outside of a few people like Static Skeletah, Kanye, and Just Blaze, the production game is assed out.
Nah it ain't. I was livin by those beats in the late 90's way before it made it to mainstream. For me it ain't no trend or somethin that won't last. It's a way of life. Just like yall on here capin for boom bap, only difference it's more of yall than it is of us on the internet. The only thing versatile about boom bap was choosin what sample they was gon throw over them repetitive ass drums. Most niggas even sampled the drums. The South has been known to combine soulful samples with 808's and hi-hats, and when they do I prefer them over any boom bap sound.
You talkin like the shit just popped up out of nowhere. It was around in the 80's, The shit is Hip Hop too.
I can tell the difference between them bein made by some imitation, band wagon hoppin producer and when it's somebody who was actually influenced by it.
So production is assed out because NY bred boom bap has played out of the mainstream? That ain't fair. It ain't even dead, it just ain't in the mainstream.
Yall should be mad at bob, skylar grey, mr. hudson, dre, em, lupe, and all these other clowns bringin them farmclub.com, pop, britney spears soundin drums and samples into Hip Hop. Now that's what's killin Hip Hop. White women singin hooks and shit, it's disgusting.
Cuz like somebody on here said, Trap is the last movement in Hip Hop that is powered by the streets. Ain't that where Hip Hop come from the streets?
I used to be just like yall niggas towards Southern Hip Hop, imagine that. I went through the snap era with a smile on my face but by the time Stanky leg got here I was sick to my stomach wit these niggas. When Gucci dropped The Movie part 1 he pulled me back in. Waka dropped Hard in the paint, Rozay liked what he heard then came and got that BMF,
yall been buckin in the mainstream every since. This style wasn't even the dominant sound of the South before that happened.
Don't blame the South, blame the followers.
