Title: what's up with all these beats sounding the same?
Post by: WestCoasta on July 21, 2006, 12:14:36 PM
so my music shit is broken in my car and I gotta turn on the radio goin to work on 45 min drives this last week


every fuckin station that plays even a hint of hip hop or rnb has the same sounding shit


everybody's trying to use as little instruments as possible in the beats and it's all click clack with repetitive kicks and a Lil Jon synth


I'm not exaggerating either, I hear this shit constantly


and while I'm stepping on the gas and then the brake on a traffic infested freeway, I'm losing my mind and am baffled at the lameness and overkill of this garbage


let alone there are commercials more than the music is played.... listening to the radio is like watching a future train wreck


:stupid:

Amen.  It will never stop being ironic to me that the dudes who complain about how the West ain't on top now don't appreciate that THAT is the reason why.

Also, who said they hear Lil Jon synths on the radio?  IMO, what everyone's doing now is the sped-up soul sampling shit that Kanye has made popular.

LOL, you mad, kid?  Calling me a "young lost soul"?  I'm obviously older than you, son.

I ain't disrespecting anyone's style...I'm disrespecting the biters who have copied RZA/Kanye's style to get airplay.  That ain't the same thing.  Shut the fuck up and do not talk down to the GOD again, cracker.  I am a superior being to you.

Yup. It all sounds the same becuz that's the style now. Everybody wanna use the same producers. Once one song is a hit and the beat is catchy, everybody gonna want a hit so they gonna make their song sound like anothers so it'll be big.

Yung Joc 'It's Goin Down' = Yung Joc ' I Know You See It'
Neyo 'So Sick' = Neyo 'Sexy Love'
Beyonce Jay Z 'Crazy In Love = Beyonce Jay Z 'Deja Vu'
Ying Yang Twins 'Wait' = David Banner 'Play'

etc. etc.

It's kinda sad how an artist makes their own songs some similar :laugh:

Everything sounds the same because theres no real musicians making music!  You got all these 808s and anolog claps and snaps!  These simple ass synth patterns!  Anybody can do that!  Wheres the creativity at?  I'ma be honest wit you the real producers are the ones who can play instruments and creative MUSIC!  BattleCat plays all instruments, DJ Quik plays all instruments, Terrace Martin, Lt Hutton, Jelly Roll, Fredwreck, Soopafly etc.  Even producers like Hi Tek, Focus, Mel Man, Neptunes, Timbaland, Denaun Porter of D-12, all of Outkast's porducers, Raphael Saadiq!  These are the ones that are using their God givin gift to CREATE!  Nowadays these dudes are using music generators, clicking on the computer, calling themselves producers! They ain't got not one keyboard, drum machine nothing!  We need to get back to the being musicians not FRUITY LOOPERS!

Hempskide2, Rza rarely did sped-up soul samples, at least not in the  way Kanye did it.  However, did Kanye take some iof his style from RZA???  Of course, that is easy to see for fans that actually been down with the Wu since day 1.  However, to say Kanye's music sounds similar to anything Rza has done is a little farfetched.  And even if Rza was doing it, it wasn't his signature sound like it is Kanye's. And really, producers ALWAYS been incorporating eithger funk or soul samples, way before RZA, so to say Kanye stole from RZa is ridiculous.  And really,

i agree 100%

i've been saying this for years.  people are slowly getting more and more tired of this current state of music. watch you'll see more artists going towards something new. rap will always be around , like metal, punk, and soul music ...but i see another genre coming up . i see more artists gravitating towards being more like the gorillaz and gnarls barkley

Actually Lil Jon is a monster on the guitar and can make some very good r&b tracks when thats what is needed (not like the Usher single, I mean actual melodic r&b shit). Besides, a producer does not need to play an instrument, thats not necesarily what a producer does. For instance, Dre is a producer, but does not necessarily make the beat. Quincy Jones produced the Thriller album but did not play a single note on the record.

HIP HOP MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN 100% A PRODUCERS GAME.. without a hot beat, you could have the sickest lyrics your shit will go wood and people wont play it
