What if 20 years from now someone put 'damn son' over 800 dub?
New genre or rip off by idiots for idiots?
metal isnt a genre, its just really heavy rock
at some point, things become enough of a movement on their own in terms of both popularity and the need for distinction to warrant a separate name. no shit, it's southern hip hop, but this form of southern hip hop has popular enough that people have begun to give it a name in order to refer to this type specifically.
you dont need to throw a hissy fit every time someone calls it "trap"
Im eagerly awaiting these mythical mixtapes aswell but then the white folk might get ahold of them and basterdize them so maybe its better they stay hidden..
Trap is a natural progression. Everyone in Hip Hop is so shit scared about sampling and getting slapped with a royalties suit that they've backed themselves into a corner where they can only use drum machines and synths to make their beats.

That's how it is now ? ? shit i didn't know it was like that.
I found a way to get piece of mind for years and left the hell alone, turn a deaf ear to the cellular phone

It was still cool but it wasn't done by white folks for white folks

^^ This.
Will happily PayPal you some money for one of those gas station mixtapes if they're that good.
Still waiting for a response on this mate, any chance you can get a couple of these tapes for me?
sorry i dont check every post on this forum..... the best example I can think of is Trakksounds - Intervention.... all relatively unknowns at the time. You can still buy beats from some of the producers for $150 on the internet lol.
Trakksounds himself still rocks it out of a bedroom on a setup probably the same as producers here and has tracks by HUGE artists
he did purple ninja turtle which is dopeeeeeeeee
G. Luck and B-Don from GLP were bedroom all-stars up until recently after they got bought up by waka and a few others
anywho if you dont get mixtapes in your area datpiff has tons and you can always just google ______ random city name mixtapes

Both of those sounded quite generic, tbh.

much prefer those over predictable 808's and emphasis on high hats
you're relatively young so maybe you're not at 808 saturation but using 808's has come and gone and become a novelty in breaks, dubstep, drum and bass, and hip hop (probably 3 or 4 times now).
It's like dropping drowning remix in the USA, or playing free bird, or dropping papa new guinea in the UK. Yes you'll likely get a decent reaction out of it but does it really need to be done? It's all been done to exhaustion
I'm sure someone could make a couple tripplette variations, 2 notes of a bassline, some 808 kicks and snares and make a sound board with a "DAMN SON" sample and you could probably rock a set at hot topic. I'm not saying there's not some standouts, im saying those are few and far between and the shitty, borderline plagarism is pretty astounding.
i guess im just of the school that minimal with an 808 is a lot better than trying to complicate shit
imo is the best 808 tune ever made..... but then you listen to things like cajmere percolator and what he did with an 808 and then listen to formulaic shit around today. Or what Juan Atkins could get tone wise out of an 808 and then facepalm at some of this shit

Paul Revere has to be up there too for 808 tunes
The whole album is just minimalistic 808 beauty

No, not the $150 beats. The mixtapes you can buy in your gas station.

Not sure Madrid has a trap mixtape scene, though I'll have an ask at the weekend and see if anyone looks at me strangely.
Still would like one of these gas station mixtapes though...how much do they cost and when shall I Paypal the money across?
