guess if you want to have some form of commercial success you can’t talk about cheffing people 24/7. RV’s also older than a lot of the newcomers so would be good to see him branch out a bit. headie one has made the transition quite nicely although I don’t rly rate his latest output with fred again.
this is so good man. any other stuff you know on a similar vibe instrumental wise?
a lot of drill is very formulaic unfortunately. some of the fresher beats imho:
cgm - 10+1 (prod by katmandu, same as ko - this one)
digdat & aitch - ei8ht mile (has been posted before I’m sure)
Lol another video filmed right around where I lived in Liverpool, makes me feel cool
There’s some shots meters from my door in there
damn here I am in the video too
Mad how most of the OG road rap dons have completely fallen off the map. K Koke, Margs, Joe Black, Fix Dot’m, Jaja Soze… think Giggs and maybe Blade Brown are the only ones left from that era who are still relevant today.
How drill vs general rap is it
whats ur preferred ratio?
Whatever as long as it’s good but for most drill rappers I’d expect it to be better if they kept the drum beats drill at least
All the random American rap/Afro/r&b type tunes from drill guys mostly are bad
mostly drill I’d say but a few commercially oriented rap tracks (there’s a young adz feature for example). had to skip through a few tracks because they sound a bit samey. also the lyrical content is rather repetitive at times (the usual stuff you’d expect from drill: whack whack, splashings & chingings). but then again we’re not listening to conscious rap
his GRM daily is pretty good tho, guy’s definitely talented
Ppl talk shit about drake being a vulture but whenever he jumps on smth I just hear love for the style, nothing cynical. Ofc it is a bit funny how much he likes to pose hard on these tracks but fuck it
Mixed pretty badly for smth with drake on btw
mix sounds fucking awful lol
feel a bit embarrassed for not realising what’s bad about that mix
Drakes voice mainly
sounds like his voice was recorded thru or phone or something lol, compressed and distorted to fuck
the snare too sounds like it has passed through 5 youtube reaction videos layered on top of eachother.
