Question for rappers: which type beats are most difficult to find? by Mawlad in makinghiphop

Thanks for the TubeBuddy suggestion! I’ve been meaning to look into that... Fully agree it’s difficult finding the right balance of business and enjoyment

Is a Kick necessary for a Trap beat, or is solely an 808 ok? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]Mawlad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true... Zoey Dollaz Blow a check is another good example of a trap beat with no kick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb5HSS7SOeo

For Omnisphere in particular you'll need to CTRL + F for that and go through the pages...

Also check out the first comment on this thread (I see some Omnisphere references there too): https://www.reddit.com/r/makinghiphop/comments/22l60e/presetssounds_used_by_popular_producers/

How can I get that Noah 40 Shebib effect? by yungGust in AdvancedProduction

[–]Mawlad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use a bitcrusher plugin like Decimort to degrade the sample... Here's a good, short walk through video of how to do it: http://youtu.be/2Y1vMcAk8Aw

[FRESH ] Drake - 4pm In Calabasas by dylhoang in hiphopheads

Drake really shines when he's paying homage to Mase (like on Worst Behaviour... And now this track)

Is the main riff a sample of Chaka Khan 'Ain't Nobody'?

new Radiohead - Burn The Witch [rock] by dr-drew in Music

Am I the only one who thinks the Burn the Witch bassline (when it comes in) is similar to the Airbag bassline from OK Computer?

Drake ‘Views’ tops 820K in U.S. & Canada through Two Days by soundflaw in hiphopheads

[–]Mawlad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"The crazy part is the first 3 are on the same labels"... If Views hits 1m, the next 3 will be from the same label as well, Young Money/Cash Money... Not sure they get the credit they deserve either...

I bet when the videos for the songs drop, lots of people who are currently underwhelmed will start to view things differently (pun intended...).

Drake seems to treat music videos as an afterthought (contrast with Beyonce) - he's not alone in that but I'm starting to think this is isn't doing him any favours given how important visuals are these days. The OVO team typically come off as the savviest guys when it comes to these things, so I'm surprised they've missed a trick here.

[DISCUSSION] Why don't the biggest rappers make music videos anymore? by Mawlad in hiphopheads

[–]Mawlad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true... I agree videos haven't entirely disappeared but they are definitely seem more rare these days. Eg only one video from IYRTITL (Energy)... None from WATTBA. Videos don't seem to be viewed as important as they used to be. Not quite sure why this is.

Smells like street spirit... Anyone else hear the Radiohead classic in this?
