    New "forward" Hip-Hop??

    If anyone knows of or comes across any new and different/forward thinking Hip-Hop, post it here. I just really wanna hear something new, I've largely stopped listening to Hip Hop as there doesn't seem to be anything much new to listen to.

    Mastering Kendrick's "Be Humble"

    It's really good to watch videos like this, hear things like this, and understand the workflow and practise of the very top of the game. Compare their approach to your practise, what are they doing that you aren't. What do you do that is aligned with what they do.

    At a loss right now for what to listen to, don't necessarily feel like listening to old stuff, but don't necessarily feel like listening to the typical new stuff.

    How to get 'choppy' drums?!

    I hear some tracks, and the drums sound really 'choppy', almost as if they've been cut + pasted in. They feel sloppy, but good sloppy. They almost sound like they don't fit, but in a way that works. Also often these drums sound pretty loud/big/crisp/clean as if they are modern programmed...

    Anyone know a really good source, or brand whatever for percussion samples??? Single shots. Like all the weird interesting sounds that aren't kicks/snares. Things like claves, sticks, metal things, wooden things whatever. definitely stuff that would sit well in "modern" sounding records...

    Keeping short loops interesting??

    How do you keep short loops/hooks interesting or without them driving you insane? I'm talking about real short catchy 2bar loops (in trap it'd essentially be like 1bar kinda, 'cause of the halftime). Loops/hooks that sound like they're the key/main part of the instrumental, so need to be...

    How to make slow trap vocals?¿

    Sounds like a pretty spasticated question, but yeah... Everytime I've pitched down vocal clips I have, the quality seems to be raped. I'm aiming to have a really clear/decent quality low-pitched vocal clip. Just to kinda loop about over a beat. What advice you guys got on that?! Do you...
