Got this new J Cole x 6lack type beat. It was supposed to be called "love drug", but I took the 'drug' out so it can be YouTube safe + I don't promote drugs:
Good sounds, very live. There's some good producers on here my goodness. I like how you switched the beat up as well. Nice transitioning.
Yea this is fire, great sound selection and kick snare pattern.
I like how you match the plucks with the 808s, I might have to try that. Dope fam. I see everyone else appreciates your beats I don't need to say more.
Everyone is different so just work on whatever gaps you have. For instance I've always been decent at melodies because I've been playing piano forever. So I spend time working on drums, sound design & what not. I'm not a big fan of music theory, I feel like it's just way too confusing. But...
I completely agree, the drug thing doesn't work and is bad for health. It's kinda obviously sad tbh. A lot of these major artists are really just puppets, that's why they're signed so young. Young artists are easier to mold and influence.
A couple come to mind:
Apollo Brown: He just has great simple drum bass patterns. Samples like a boss too. Kinda underground as well so he gets bonus points.
9th Wonder: 9th has a vibe.
Dr Dre: He can't rap but the success speaks for itself.
R Kelly: I may take flack for this one but his...
That's great info, I feel like I've been trying to attract too much. I don't spam at all, I know that doesn't work. Your approach makes a lot of sense, I'll give it a try. Thanks!!
Of course it's relevant. I hate when people say you have to have a certain sound. If it's hot, it's hot.
In fact I think more lyrical stuff is coming back. I was listening to Gunna's new album 'Wunna'. I was like it's dope, but listen to it 2-3 days in a row n U'll be like wtf is he talking...
