That fucking snare that sounds like a sprinkler.

>rapper is black and too cool for school
>rapper is light brown and raps about obscure shit
>rapper is white and is trash after one album

>Rappers who think their political opinion means shit

>That fucking snare that sounds like a sprinkler
I gotta hear what you're talking about, man.

I think that's called a hi-hat

The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, often referred to simply as the 808, is a drum machine introduced by the Roland Corporation in 1980 and discontinued in 1983. It was one of the earliest programmable drum machines, with which users could create their own rhythms rather than having to use presets.

Unlike its nearest competitor, the more expensive and sample-based Linn LM-1 Drum Computer, the 808 is completely analog, meaning its sounds are generated via hardware. Launched at a time when electronic music had yet to become mainstream, the 808 received poor reviews for its unrealistic drum sounds and was a commercial failure. Having built approximately 12,000 units, Roland discontinued the 808 after improvements to semiconductor technology made it impossible to restock the faulty transistors that were an essential part of its design. It was succeeded in 1984 by the TR-909.

>rapping about gangbanging
>rapper drops studio name

everything in

Yeah you're right. I'm not really an expert or anything. I just know it's one of the things that stands out in all those generic ass trap beats that sound exactly the same. Fuck all those guys, the cracked copies of Fruity Loops they used to make their beats, and the youtube tutorials they learned to use them from.

Nothing against the TR-808 itself either. It's got a classic and iconic sound. Just can't stand how all that shit has very little variation.

>Fans praise rapper's lyrics, but their voice makes them unintelligible
>Not rhyming
>Using samples as an excuse to steal, not changing them at all
>"YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO IT IS"
>Bitches, money, weed
>Mumbling

>yg is forever eternally arse ravaged by donny boy's win

Yeah I get what you mean. Hats are definitely needed for a beat to sound full, but 90% of this shit uses the exact same sample and pattern.

>>Using samples as an excuse to steal, not changing them at all

Not every sample needs to be chopped up though. Sometimes you find a good ass loop and it's perfect as it is. It's not exactly "stealing" when the original artist is paid extravagant sums of money for the sample's use which cuts drastically into the amount made by all involved in the derivative work. You can make a straight up cover version of the song and it will cost a lot less, it only cuts into publishing.

As an example look at Alchemist. He's arguably one of the best active Hip-Hop producers. Most of his stuff isn't changed much from the original sampled work. But he's proven he can chop things the fuck up if he wants to:

I hope he fades out next year. His shit is getting boring.

Terrible ad libs in the background. There are many rappers who are guilty of this, but Travis Scott is by far the worst offender

The formula for a rap song with a feature. It normally is the main artist rapping 1-2 verses, then the featured artist comes in and the beat is quieted/slowed down/slightly changed for a bit, before returning to the original beat.

>skits

list of good skits:
1. deez nuts
2. the wu tang one where they talk about ball crushing and butt sewing
????

Was he ever not boring? In my mind he went from toot it and boot it guy to Discount Good Kid Maad City guy and now most recently Generic West Cost + Mustard guy.

>backing drum beat is on a drum sampler
>it's been played in manually on a MIDI keyboard
>it's really off-beat

>This is another *generic producer* product right cheer

deltron 3030 has some funny stuff that fits the theme

The $20 sack pyramid, the skits off College Dropout, and the intro skit to Illmatic

>hip hop song starts

>it's a skit where the rapper makes loud sex noises

>it's a sex skit featuring a pornstar

Does this even happen anymore?

Any examples?

I can't tell if you're talking about YG or Danny right now but if it's YG I 100% agree holy shit
No idea why his new shit was so acclaimed

I fuck with a lot of skits actually
Basically every one from the Sun's Tirade had me cracking up.
