    I think you'll find I'll exclusively be doing it whilst on the toilet.

    The Phone Phenom

    As some of you may (or may not) have noticed, I haven't been entering battles at all lately. Various reasons. Started pissing about and made a beat on my phone today. Actually got a vibe to it. Which made me think... I might make it my new challenge to start entering battles with beats made...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    Surely AI generated beats would start becoming self-perpetuating, feeding back into itself off of the music it creates. So fed a similar set of instructions it will likely repeat very similar patterns. I don't think it'll be much different from the 'type beat' situation we face. Ironically...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    I think for sounds it usually only really applies to the drums. As thin rock drums just don't work. Of course if you go overboard with iconic edm sounds like Reese and hoover basses, you could pull a hiphop Beat too far into edm territory. But it's also the style of musicality and choice of...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    Okay So tech, especially with people new to Hip Hop or not understanding the origins can cause the style to drift dramatically. To understand it coming from looped drum breaks and samples. It forms the structural basis for it as a music style. As tech and accessibility improved people could...

    One is outdated the other is played out. (Effectively both are outdated)

    The state of beat making in 2023

    I'm not saying that. But that's all it is here. Either you ride boombap or you ride trap. You make one, or the other. Sometimes you might try make both. But largely your making and voting will lean one way. But either way. It's still just that - stuck in the past, or just generic modern day...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    Here's where I find myself... I'm kind of bored of the old stuff (though can still enjoy it); and I don't like most of the new stuff. (There is some good you can enjoy but) In terms of both listening to, and making beats (or music). Can leave you in a tricky position. I have a lot less 'fun'...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    This is one of the wildest things. Hip Hop came from poverty where you needed to be creative. You'd think with broader range of tools the scope for creativity would be increased. Especially with what would be the norm to want to be unique and do something different. But today's era seems to want...

    The state of beat making in 2023

    Some other thing will dominate. This generation is ruined. They literally listen to the same one type of beat/song. The artists all have the same flow and vocal fx. They all use the same sound pack, plugin, and VSTs, and follow the same tutorials. Often their autotune is out of tune, and they...

    Beat This! Competition - February 8-9, 2023

    This was actually one of my favorites. I really liked the vibe. It's quite pumpy, but I like that kind of texture for this record. I think the hats maybe come a little too loud, and sometimes where the vocal comes up is a little too unnatural/uncomfortable for me. Actually wondering if that's a...

    An interesting note about The Basement

    reminds me a bit more of breakbeat/dnb in style.
