No beat screams "early 2000s" like this one

[CrushedGroove]

I was trying to figure out when the south took over hip-hop and this is the answer. This is when I kinda stopped checking for a lot of east coast artists outside of Nas, Jay, The Roots, and the backpackers

Bruh, this shyt TRASH. shyt sounds like a lazy ass first draft of the "Change the Game" beat.

Beat sounds like it was used in almost every episode of the And 1 Streetball where they wandered around a city.

[bigde09]

[Tribal Outkast]

Man these beats were on some

Type shyt

The west coast has no part in it west coast bounce the hell you talking about?

It was that Jay Z / Ruff Ryderz / Camron New York club era

shyt was the worst era in hip hop

the west coast didn’t have a sound at that time had completely fell off from the mainstream after 1996 death row Tupac

Not true you had Dre and his 2001 sound at this point.


A lot of people copied this style too.

there is an R&B version of this with overdone strings in the late 90's/early 00's

This thread and that thread. Just like real life when the radio tried to make every song an R&B/rap collabo

Fab will probably win that one too.

Who the fukk were Lumidee and Nina Sky related to?
Because there's no way someone put time and money behind them because they thought they were talented.

Total Sittin Home and the remix with Shyne are so fire.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Aye, this shyt remind me of one my closest homies when I was in the army (L from Mt. Vernon). nikka used to go on for days about real hip-hop and hated anything that was 180 of that. Went to the club one night and they was playing this shyt and that nikka was in the middle of the dance floor Harlem shaking like he was having a seizure to that shyt

 

[jensyao]

if radio and TV weren't consolidated, they wouldn't even be playing the same trash so we'll forget

some artists took trash beats and did wonders with them, but others didn't come out as hot

i can understand that if it's an r&b track, it has to be in the background to not get in the way of the singing

...just posting generic sounds from that era

Spoiler

^ added generic road rage car horns and called it a beat

 

[LoMax30]

I know I'm probably over analyzing but man I reeeally hated this beat. Song is up beat for 3 bars and every fourth bar the beat slows down to a crawl and damn near a stop And then repeats I can't get jiggy with this shyt

That’s rooted in that same Nintendo sound
