I gotta get at trap beats (they have no replay value. Prove me wrong)

[mobbinfms]

The song I posted - definitely.

Yeah. It has the sound.
So that raises an interesting question. What's the first boom bap beat?
Is Larry Smith a boom bap producer?

 

[noumena]

Some of these aren't even trap beats. More like pretty crunk.

You're gonna have to elaborate which ones.

That shyt pretty much just came out. Barely 4 years.

@noumena

a few questions with that 3-6 stuff:
a) is that really trap?
b) is that the best trap has to offer?
and more importantly c) you're telling me those joints can go toe-to-toe with the best boom bap of its era?

And I'm not a 3-6 hater. I think their sound and bounce can be interesting at times (though too basic and repetitive)





Anyway, good post homie. I've heard most of those tracks before with the exception of Kingpin Skinny Pimp. That Kingpin joint kinda goes. Haven't heard that Lord Infamous track in years. If more modern trap beats were like that, I wouldn't complain. Beat is dope.

as for Mista Don't Play, I'd take that album over TM 101 any fukking day. Most of these nikkas screaming "TM101 is a classic" prolly never heard that shyt. "If You Aint From My Hood" is a dope ass beat, and the song as a whole has more personality than any track on TM101.



that's what occurred to me.

3 6 is trap. They are the founders of it. It may be different than what they made, but it still comes from what they did. No doubt about it.




< If you don't think this beat has soul something's wrong with you


as for more modern trap





About Mista Dont Play, that shyt is timeless. I think Project Pat has one of the GOAT flows/voices (top 50)

You consider Whodini boom bap?

I definitely don't...

Shan is not who I think of when I think boom bap either although The Bridge is boom bap.

Shan was Marley Marl though. That's definitely boom bap.

Boom Bap beats that have had 40 years of replay value?

I'm not a trap guy but I'll try to answer the OP anyway these are some dope trap beats...

I wouldn't consider Lifestyle a trap beat

I'm boom bap until I die but come on now, how could anyone hate every trap beat? Some of them are fire and it brings something new to the genre.

I hate 99% of modern trap beats (stuff made within the last 5 years or so).

But no, I don't hate every single trap beat.

If you don't think this beat has soul something's wrong with you

To this day, I still dislike that song. It's just cheesy and borderline-grooveless to me. The corniest people (many of them just getting into hip hop after sleeping on it for a decade) around my way loved this track.

Man it's GOT A HEY JOE SAMPLE!!
I had a feeling you wouldn't dig it though. TI First couple albums have some soulful stuff though.
I consider my ability to detect corniness impeccable, that track isn't corny. Appeal to cornballs (accessibility) =/= corniness

It sounds like a g-funk beat with some trap influences like the claps and snares and the way the beat kicks in

 

[BigMan]

The entire genre is built on grooves too complex for an actual musician to lay down

Once the novelty of hearing 1/64th notes wears off, you start to wonder 'where is the soul in this music?'

You must never heard the roots play trap music

 

[Ronald McDonald]

i would honestly take this over just about any boom bap instrumental. no sample either.

You know what modern trap sounds like to me? This era.

It's not even a South vs East thing. It's a cheese vs real thing.

Anyone who was a teen or older in the late 90s/early 2000s know what I mean by this. At some point hip hop got obsessed with sounding futuristic (probably because everyone was trying to dikkride Timbaland). So the beats started having this crappy, "casio", overproduced mish-mash sound to them. Drums got weaker and more pop. And yeah, when I was coming up, I liked that stuff.

But that shyt has not aged well AT ALL.

Can anyone say this is among Method Man's best material?



Back in 2000, I thought it was. Now I never play it.

Modern trap is like that Shyne track, except EVERYONE sounds like this. and even when stuff was getting corny in the late 90s/early 2000s, not everyone had the exact same sound.

and as much as y'all nikkas like to pretend like London/Metro Boomin etc are wholly original and so different, they just aren't.

Reminded me of g-funk too...I wonder if the producer had it slow at first then sped it up to what it is now.

Boom Bap and Techno had a baby. I ain't mad

too many cats making meh beats though but it's like Primo had biters, RZA had biters, Extra P had biters, Finesse had biters, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, etc. but there's alotta casio sounding shyt
