I just don't see any future in the shyt for me. Where I am now no one wants to step out of the box and spit on my shyt so my only real option is to spit on it myself and I really don't feel thats my lane.

I've come to the conclusion my vision or w/e would be better suited for electronica...eventually I want to make shyt like this



Real dense danceable drugged out shyt. Pretty much a more upbeat version of what I already do. Its been crazy going back over all my favorite edm albums and just instead of listening taking everything in...the layering, mastering, mixing, eq'ing...its crazy how far I have to go. Just making a simple drum beat and eq'ing it properly so it sounds right (something I've never really done) has opened up my eyes to just how much I've been missing for music in general. I think maybe I'm come back to hiphop in a few months/years but right now I just have been a standstill as far as progression.

If any of you know the go to hardware/software/vst's/tutorials for such music let a brother know, I'm a serious novice with this type of music even moreso than hip hop. Like I have so many dope melodies in my head but finding the right sound/synth/bass for it is just killing me.

I don't even know if any of you nikkas really care but I just felt like venting a lil since I know we all probably had that "moment" where shyt clicked a lil.

finding the right sounds has been killing my progression too I got omnisphere which would probably go perfect with your style. The learning curve is combining synths to make them even better than they are

Keep grinding bro. You could be onto something. if theres one thing about rap/hiphop, is theres so many different likes and taste, especially when it comes to production. What if your onto the next big fad? What if some rapper gets on this groove and you blow up with him? Or what if you quit, and someone else does it. You'd be pissed.

Always stay grinding bro.

ah yes...our old friend: "burnout"

just take a break and try some different artforms besides music (drawing, photography, etc) it'll work wonders ...

Do what you feel man, I'm sure you'll do fine with whatever route you decide to take. But the harder it is to find that dude that fits your style, the better it'll be once ya'll work.

I can feel where you're coming from breh, a lot of the newest music that seems to be pushing the boundaries of what we do as hip-hop producers, which is a style of electronic music, is in the EDM genre. The depth of their production, on the sound design, mixing, etc.. is crazy. I've been trying to branch out too, the learning curve is crazy steep. When I think of the future of music, I think the EDM stuff is the direction things are moving in.

Check out ArtFX channel on youtube, also future music magazine and computer music magazine (both UK publications) and their youtube channels for a lot of good info. Good luck breh.

yeah. And I can always come back. I think becoming masterful in the use of vsts/synths in general would make me a muchhhhhhh better music maker in general.

Just make sure you always do what you want in this game, otherwise your just a slave.

Push the boundaries, bring genres together ect.
