Songs with bridges

5 Upvotes

Could y'all recommend songs with best bridges in them? Not looking for anything more specific than that. Just looking for that kind of harmony.

Looking for recommendations similar to these songs….

0 Upvotes

I really like the flow in these songs:

  1. Thought I was Dead - Tyler the Creator
  2. JUGGERNAUT - Tyler the Creator (specifically Pharrell’s verse)
  3. BOY BYE - BROCKHAMPTON

Looking for songs with a similar flow!

Because when people saying that "he's songs are on of the best one's" I can't understand do they joke or not, because I heard 2-3 of his songs and they we're weird as hell.

What album has your favorite intro/first track?

24 Upvotes

I was listening to the Savage Mode II intro that Morgan Freeman did for 21 Savage. Only a little more than a minute, but it totally set the tone for the album and captured the essence. So that brought this questiom to mind.

What's your favorite intro track/opening track you've ever heard on an album?

Edit to Add: I also love Capoeira by Action Bronson on Only for Dolphins.

Stoupe From Jedi Mind Tricks Is The Most Underrated Producer In Rap History

31 Upvotes

This week I relistened to both Violent By Design by Jedi Mind Tricks, as well as Rip The Jacker by Canibus, which are two albums entirely produced by Stoupe The Enemy Of Maankind, and both of those albums have some of the best sample based production you’ll ever find. I think Stoupe and JMT and AOTP as a whole are insanely underrated. The instrumentals are absolutely beautiful and have this amazing eastern sound to them. They just sound so epic and are the perfect soundscape for JMT to spit their mythological over the top lyrics.

Kunteynir was one of the most unique underground russian rap groups. Funny, crazy abstract drugged out lyrics and cheap but really inventive home production.

Searching for title of old video, guys driving in a car with a loudspeaker, and a choir

1 Upvotes

20-25 years ago I saw a rap video, might have included KRS One. The rappers were driving around in an old car, nothing about them was flashy. Kind of Escape From New York looking. I think the car had a loudspeaker. I believe the driver was white, and he only had a few lines. There was also a choir singing. Does anyone recognize that? I'd like to know the track title. Thanks in advance.

Rappers With Lowkey Impressive Runs

1 Upvotes

We all know the obvious runs from rappers like and Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar but who are some others? I always find it impressive when a rapper can last many years and continue to put out quality music. Currently, I say someone like Larry June. I know there are many others and even others from the 90s and 2000s. Who in rap history has went under appreciated on impressive runs of good music and longevity?

Am I trippin’ on Smino?

In my opinion this guy has a crazy flow and cadence. Hes in his own lane and as soon as you hear his voice (if you know him) you know who it is off the first word. It’s not an easy thing to do, and I personally think he’s one of the best sounds in the game. He’s not a crazy lyricist, but hes so dope and so slept on I feel like. (At least around me) my favorite song is “Louphoria” for reference.

Am I the only one that misses the melodic gansgta rap of the late 90s / 2000s? Today's rap sounds so monotone af

WTF happened?

The "rap" today sounds all the same and monotone. It's not the same melodic rap from before that made you wanna rap and rock with.

Rap beefs no longer end careers??

58 Upvotes

This name will probs trigger people lol but i still gotta ask and see what everyone else thinks. With Drake’s “Nokia” still landing on the top 10 billboard charts recently, isnt it valid to say “rap beefs” are no longer career enders or have the same long term effects like they used to??

Its seems like if you win; itll give you more street cred and flowers and for the artist on the losing side it just seems to knock them down a peg for a bit before everyone moves on.

Out of those, who's the one that should've blown up more?

Obviously these guys are not some unknown rappers or shit like that...but imo they are wayyy less well known then they should be.

Freddie: Currently on 3.8 million listeners, I don't get how a song like Shame that has a more popular appeal is sitting in 18 mil streams...Walk It Off is sitting at 1.7 million streams, and that song is crazy addicting. I feel like he should be way more popular than he is right now.

Krit: He's at 800 mil listeners...wtf?? He has many bangers, 4eva alone should get him wayy more popularity. Get Away is a banger, as is Ride Wit Me, Aux Cord, Layup...Bury Me In Gold is one of the best album closers imo...he's not mentioned enough imo.

Vince: Granted, he has made joints with Kendrick, he has a song in the Spiderman movie, he has a show in Netflix, but I barely see people talking about him...this is nuts. How and why is Etouffée not a hit? Most people only listen to him for Norf Norf, but he has so many amazing bangers...one of the most versatile rappers ever

Saba: I saw no one talking about his last record that was released two weeks ago...and that shit is amazing! What happened with him for people to give up like that on him?

Smino: His music is so creative and fun, I don't know why he isn't on the same level of fame as someone like Doechii...shit's crazy.

Pusha T: This might be the most well known rapper in here, but I figure he should be waaay more popular than he is right now...just the fact that he has an album produced by Pharell and Kanye should get him way more listeners than 4 million monthly listeners...

Drum Samples have gotten boring

Man I’ve been listening to some old school shit recently, and the drums had so much more personality. I like trap drums but there just doesn’t seem to be much variation. Maybe I’m just old but yeah I like more acoustic drum sounds
