thats really blah imo. super basic dj scratches, really uncreative beats, lyrics, and rythm. just really uncreative. like if hes tryin to be oldschool or whatever you can do better things then just doing the obvious oldschool stuff. sounds really lame and i dont see how youre entertained by that but youre entitled to listen to whatever you want. but seriously black babies with afros holding vinyls uggg it just makes me feel like puking ive seen it so much.
IM JUS SAYIN

this dude is doin the oldschool westcoast **** right tho. that old vinyl chopped up at the begining, all the wah and funk verb effects on the piano, the high hat rolls cuz its so smooth they cant do tom rolls (now thats west coast as ****), the shoutouts to his whole hood at the end, his flow and ryhming pattern and backup hypes, the way they do it all is just SWAG OUT THE OLDSCHOOL AS **** ***.
that **** you posted aint got one bit of swag nowhere near it.
if youre gonna replicate something you gotta feel it out yourself and throw a little bit of yourself and creativity and nostalgia into it that people dont see every day. not nostagia that has already been so commercialized or taboo'd (lol is that a word?) maybe i just appreciate music with initiative, but it seems most people are the most satisfied and content when their music is made by supppper intense mediocracy and little to no creativity and mostly replication. maybe i just pay more attention to detail than the average listener (u guyz), being suh a music critic most of my life.
**** even Schoolboy Q is a really cool, nostalgic name. Blackalcious, wow ive never heard a black person have "licious" on the end of any nickname before in my life... or something called "reanimation"... lol linkin park even had one of those.
and i dont feel like people should go around saying "this music is good" i feel like you should say "i like this music alot"
its a pet peeve of mine. kind of like how duchok doesnt like being called a ***,
or something like that.
and i dont think music is a "loose" subject. its just more people are uneducated about the entirity of it than there are those who are well informed of all the past and present culture surrounding it and all the different artistic angles and approaches you can take to bend the aesthitic of it one way or another to make it this or that. its touchy as in ignorant people get offended when a knowledgable person critiques their tastes, but thats anything once you get to a critically level of it. like you guys are on a critical level of thinking when it comes to smash. its kinda the same thing.
