bububu bar exam 12932!

fuckouttahere. Royce is one of the wackest serious rappers ever. Dude can rap obviously, he has some nice lines here or there, but more often than not his raps are like someone cutting a golf course lawn with a push mower. So many unnessicarry bars and set ups to punchlines that aren't hot at all.

rap like Royce brehs

I fuck like an electrician
Your girl came to my house fucked me like a sowing machine and then ate Taco Bell in my kitchen

Warm welcome to both of the recent entries, but I gotta there are some scust answers amidst. Rank Lupe's most solid entry third. Have a Wale album be your album of the year brehs. Answer neither to the onions or avocados question. Be another generic J. Cole stan breh or think Rick Ross is overrated and Royce has any truly great projects. Refer to Taylor Swift as T. Swizzle and think she's the finest. Truly believe there's a hard delineation between pop and RnB these days.

Or you know, I'll stand by my own preference in music and not cover it up to impress you.

Thanks for the welcome though, I knew I'd get some heat for TAAN aha.

why eat ass when you can aim an inch lower
Variety is the spice of life.
How Much A Dollar Cost is still my track of the year I think. Peak Kendrick, fantastic instrumentation (that bass), Dre drums (I dunn curr what anyone says, them Dre drums right there)

A+++++
Definitely up there. Sensational song.
Man, Travis Scott is feeling himself too damn much. Seems like such a twat.

I've never once seen any Royce praise in this thread tbh, but I'll still stand by Death Is Certain and the first Bar Exam. I don't know about "truly great" or whatever, but I still like both of those projects. Death Is Certain was height of his off kilter rhyme patterns, back when it sounded like he still put a lot of effort into saying cliche things in different ways with lots of delayed rhymes and unique inflection. And the Bar Exam is one of the tapes that holds up from the mid 2000 "Imma hop on everyone's beats and call it a freestyle mixtape" days IMO. He's all over those instrumentals.

Everything else though.............

Royce, Crooked I etc. are literally the embodiment of wack lyrical-miracle-spiritual-individual rap to me.

EDIT: Hmm, Elzhi is difficult for me. On the one hand I'm a huge SV stan, on the other hand I always felt he was a bit too heady (I forgot the better word in English) for the group and I really didn't miss him on Yes!, which is one of SV's best albums.

Food & Liquor >>> rest
 
Considering the shit I see in this community I don't feel bad at all for listening to Royce. I mean do y'all really fuck with DS2 or all Future projects like that?

Yeah. Completely different styles and subgenre though, but Royce is midtier in the rappity rap world, while Future is most definitely near the top of his respective lane.

Yeah dude is not for me like at all. I can only accept listening to him in the club that's all cause I have no choice.
 
Future's definitely a mood listen for me. I tried to listen to DS2 on some "sit down with the headphones in a quiet room and actually evaluate the musical qualities" shit and es no bueno.

But that's cool. I'm not trying to listen to To Pimp A Butterfly in the club either.

I'm just glad we live in an era where we have artists in every lane dropping fire. We have hot turn up shit, we have hot socially conscious shit, we have hot chill vibing shit. Every mood is covered.

Bar Exam 2 was probably the best thing Royce did so far and yes Food and Liquor aged horribly. Those overproduced beats and "I'm different from the norm" lyrics.

The Emperor's Soundtrack still bang though.

Hey I wouldn't rate any of Lupe's work over a 7, so they're all highly flawed to me, but the tops are definitely still Food & Liquor and The Cool to me.

Question before I head out...

For the producers/beat makers in here...when yall sample, do yall use a full loop or chop up the sample?
 
Thanks to whoever posted the episode of Rhythm Roulette here.
I've watched every episode now, it's fascinating.

3. Favorite Artists – Pusha T

Would you describe Hell Hath No Fury as:

a) a ***** classic
b) a 10/10 classic
c) an all-time classic

3. Jay-Z or Nas? Biggie or Pac? Young Thug or OG Maco?
Nas(if you would of asked me this in 2001 I'd of said Jay). Pac. Not entertaining the third choice.

My man.

Most of the time I chopped because straight looping felt lazy to me and wasn't as fun, but in the recent months I started using loops more and more when I delved into Ableton where loop-based stuff is pretty quick and flexible (though sequencing/drum programming is way more comfortable in Fruity - know it by heart, been using it since I was 14). I also love the way you can warp/stretch+chop in Ableton and then easily change the single chops' start and end points within the whole sample (the same with loops, where can change loop points on-the-fly).
I'm now quite enjoying the process of live-arranging full loops even. I make completely different types of beats that way.

Just saw on KTT that Ye used the Tell Your Friends sample years ago already:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PmvUqofqP4

EDIT: Not that it's unusual to use the same sample a few times (see Dilla and his favorite samples like Minnie Riperton - Inside My Love or Steve Miller Band - Space Intro), but Ye also "chopped" (or rather looped) it in the same way. I don't remember any big producer doing this. Not judging though, he might have actually forgotten about that old beat, heh. Btw, I think this could be one of the beats he ghost-produced (iirc D-Dot helped him getting signed to Roc).
 
Take Care's Drake's best overall project.

By a lot.

Quentin Miller had some hits on that mixtape, but If You're Reading This was still full of lazy throwaway verses and filler.
