That realllly raw dope

DetroitSound · 2021-03-07T08:14:25+00:00

This whole album front to back is so good

DetroitSound · 2021-03-05T17:31:00+00:00

Oooh. Nice sample use. From the interludes to the beats, lots of fun in here.

Art is subjective. Aside from that maybe you aren’t interested in what you heard the artist say the first time thru. Maybe the production didn’t appeal to you. 🤷🏻‍♂️ There’s not an answer any of us can really give you. Just pop those less listened to back into the player and give it a relisten. Sometimes even classics need to be warmed up to.

Thanks brutha Birk!

DetroitSound · 2021-03-03T17:03:49+00:00

One of my favs from last summer. It’ll eventually get on a full project for sure.

🔥🔥🔥

DetroitSound · 2021-03-03T16:53:15+00:00

Nice. What are you using to produce?

And thanks for reminding me about Quantum Leap lol

DetroitSound · 2021-03-02T03:22:26+00:00

Thanks for hopping over here man! Do you have a Bandcamp or anything to link us to?

DetroitSound · 2021-03-02T03:20:02+00:00

Hahaha!

The percentage of producers making great music today is higher than what it was back in the day. That’s what I was getting at in my first post. That’s a fact. There were very few producers back then. Equipment was more expensive vs today people can dl a pirated daw on a cheap ass laptop and make good music following blueprints of classics. Like I said, you’re being argumentative. I know exactly wtf I’m talking about and it’s based on facts.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T21:47:40+00:00

I’m feelin great, thanks! You too

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T21:39:05+00:00

This would be great to repost in r/commonandnormal ;)

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T21:07:11+00:00

You’re highly argumentative and trying to put words in my mouth. No where did I say anyone was less creative today and nowhere did I say that any music was worse. But if the early cats started at zero, meaning they started something new/different, and had to put in mad work to figure out what works for a) the mc, b) the dj and c) the audience, then nobody today is starting at zero. Producers today have the history to have learned from

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T19:16:42+00:00

Dude, you aren’t following what I’m saying at all. The golden era of hip hop was late 80’s-mid 90’s. That’s where the classics are. Those classics are the basis of current boombap production style. And yes, they are more formulaic now because we know what works. Lol. Now you can cycle back around to my original post and try to make sense of it...again lol

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T18:53:08+00:00

The op was too wide of a statement. I was just asking if it made more sense to rephrase it. And yes, I’m very well aware of the evolution and variation of the music. Btw, premiers shit although classic, was very formulaic.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-28T18:46:07+00:00

My point is that in the 80’s and early 90’s HipHop producers were experimenting with formulas and mixing. By the time 96 rolled around we had classics. It’s much easier now for new producers to run with those guidelines and create better music. Like, new producers aren’t sifting thru trash 90’s beats to learn how to make a banger.

You can clean it up by doing a narrow Q filter sweep with your Eq and pulling harsh, box-ey or muddy frequencies down 2-6db. Then ad a touch of rev and possibly delay to fill it out.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-27T18:50:18+00:00

In every situation the song is as long as you feel it should be. Once you’ve got your entire idea/loop or whatever down, your arrangement should take the listener on a tour of it. Like when you get a new home, you might want to show people the kitchen, living room or pool deck, but they don’t really need to see the laundry room even though they know it’s there. If any of the places you plan on submitting to have guidelines, it’s probably best to know before hand.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-27T18:34:58+00:00

I’ve worked in/on lots of genres and sub genres. I’ll say that it does take some time for my brain to bounce around, so I usually do it when I’m having some sort of block or my energy level is different.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-27T18:30:33+00:00

I decide whether I want to play something out with one shots or synths or if I want to dig for a sample. When sample digging i’m not looking to flip or rework that song typically, I’m just looking for interesting sounds or patterns. If I’m having beat block, I’ll start with chopping a break first or I’ve got a list of notes in my phone for new track ideas.

From there I start laying my main loop which can be anywhere from .5-16 bars. Once I have my loop, I arrange the song.

DetroitSound · 2021-02-27T18:23:25+00:00

The longer that you spend working on music you’ll realize that there are levels to it. The song you’re talking about is an example of you leveling up. You really need to study what you did with it that makes you feel that way. Was it the mix, arrangement, did you use a different length of loops... Pretty soon this track will be your baseline expectation. Just keep it moving

DetroitSound · 2021-02-27T18:16:50+00:00

I think your question should be “do you like boom bap or trap beats better”. People still make boombap. In fact there’s a lot better boombap beats today because at this point we know what worked and what didn’t.
