when songs use sparse percussion or omit them entirely>>>

such intimacy

like imagine if u threw drums on ghostin by ari or come to life by kanye

This was an issue 5 years ago but not rn imo

explain

what makes this distinctly a trap beat it’s just a Bangladesh beat

I think a lot of newer rappers are not sticking to the 808 Mafia blueprint

i just knew you were about to post fakemink lmaooooo
he better put you on payroll

plus 1 for putting Succubus in here tho because that's such an incredible work

Sprinter yea

Never truly soured on trap and I fully agree

I had to take the drums out and f*** with it a little bit

Where that snare is placed is f***ing with me

We need to invest into the alternative snare R&D department

I mean his production style is really out there

i wouldn't say its out there.(not saying it isn't good)

its just a revamp of 2010s Cloud rap + jerk s***.

the only thing thats "weird" is maybe easter pink but thats got some witch house elements (and didn't he only co produce it?)

I had an old homie in hs say the same thing

He’d tell me to make beats without hi hats and talk about it like it cheapens production. He was lame as s***

oh yea ik what u mean, that approach is great for electronic music, less loopy

is that why y'all fell out

I get it though, but hi hats these days have gone back to being used very simply

Correct

I think cloud rap revivalism - esp w the contemporary influence - is left field for where we’re at these days

yea it was a moment in like 2021-2022 with the darkspin/supertrap sound where the hi hats literally sounded so insane, i thought that would be the wave but like u said everyones jus reverting to simple patterns

Lmaooo nah not just that

But that was sort of his personality. Just always tryna have a hand in everything, highly opinionated but in a negative sense on everything, was very much a hater and a buzzkill

to be fair this is an example of keep it simple without it just being a 2 step pattern

Lmaoo reda type s***

But yeah seems like folks are putting more into crazy melodies and 808s than crazy percussion

fairs.

His b**** just ate me to the bone I heard the f***ing crunch

to me this is his hardest s*** and i'm underwhelmed by everything else. I'd like to hope with a bigger budget and access now that he could flesh some s*** out.

Sah has always been consistently improving. Glad he got another one with Viking
