who would you consider better producers of this era? and can you recommend their best beat?
Metro is definitely more talented than Pierre to me, but he's just been on auto pilot lately. He was having a good run 2013-2015 or 16.
I guess you'd have to quantify era because if we go back to 2010 I'd say Lex since he created the sound. I don't think I've heard a new producer that's really wowed me in a while.
For the sake of argument let's just say the past 5 years or so
Metro and London who you're familiar with
RonnyJ
Cubeatz who coproduced goosebumps by Travis Scott, that part, summer sixteen, no shopping, tunnel vision as well as a couple of my favorites like Grab the Wheel by Uzi
Wondagurl who made Antidote and Scott And Ramona among plenty others.
Pierre's style was basically in the type beat producer community before he was big. I can't specify specific examples (because I never saved any of them because I didn't like them then either) but what Pierre is doing is definitely nothing new.
The type beat producers tend to be better producers than most of the famous ones too. Pierre is just generic as hell to me but I can see why people like his stuff. He's just not a godly producer, just flavor of the month and kinda good at what he does. Like that Poles beat you posted, look up trippie redd type beat on youtube and there's 100s on that level. Pierre is just as generic as those guys too. And every once in awhile you'll find type beat producers that just son everyone else.
this is just as good as pierre and it's some mid level producer. Flipped that old Main Attrakionz too lol
I think someone like London is leagues better than him and Metro is too when he wants to be. RonnyJ isn't incredible but his shyt bangs harder to me and he is at least innovating slightly with those huge distorted 808s. Basically gave XXXTentacion and Ski Mask their original platform, as well as Denzel Curry, Lil Pump, and Smokepurrp.
