not feeling the wiz track one bit, the vocals are unlistenable.

Same, a few of my mates are big into hip-hop and they don't get it when I say I jus listen to the tune :lol: whereas they'd say the vocals and lyrics were the main hook... this could start a whole new topic...

haha yeah me too. ignoring shit vocals is pretty easy now. i think you kind of have to in order to enjoy hip hop these days...

also...

I'm glad I'm not from Texas (but I have met some cool people from there, but they all, have obviously, left ; )


I would also wager a bet that Girl Unit would have no trouble admitting his love for southern rap from the last decade.

wasn't one of his first mixes full of hip hop stuff?

i mean the only way to enjoy the dreams productions is to ignore his b.s. same goes for like 90% of rappers from the past 10 years...

bc it's produced by lex luger who is an influence of girl unit's. if you don't believe it check his remix of Lunice's "I See U"
girl unit even goes as far as to sample luger's signature watermark swell.
(also samples rozay's signature "RUH" in the tune as well)

tbh i've been wanting girl unit to produce some american hip hop beats since i heard "Showstoppa"
track is just yearning for someone like Rozay to spit over it (not that it aint good standalone)

also for those wondering where to find the mixtape, it's called Cabin Fever and it should be available on datpiff for free. honestly it's the most unabashed trap stuff wiz has done, and it's perfect for slammin while crusin

So you have produced something that has been more successful that "Wut"? I'd like to hear it. Otherwise chill out..thats a pretty ridic statement to make.

Why are you guys even comparing Girl Unit with these producers from the states. Clearly Girl Unit took inspiration from some of those producers that have been doing hyper hihats/big 808 boom productions for ages, and he did something else with it, something more relevant for the UK bass scene.

It isnt meant to be compared like "oh yeah he made a weak version of some lex luger beat", he just put his own twist on that style. Plus, the US guys have exactly that issue, a tonne of wack rappers on top so the beats never get a chance to breathe.

"Wut" was successful in the way that it captured essentially a similar kind of energy to what some of US guys are doing and presented it to the UK dance/bass scene...I highly doubt Girl Unit thinks he invented that sound, and he isnt the only one, taking that sound and presenting in/to a different way/crowds.

They do their thing over there, he does his thing over there.

Sierra Leone is more listened to and known than Wut... Does that mean that Mt. Eden are ace producers and shouldn't be criticized? STFU fanboy, go listen to some more watered down, boring ass, rap beats ;-)
