    Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap

    I remember going to a show n met him. First i was like, bro keeps playing bangers for like 5-10 seconds only, was dead, cause you wanna hear the fucking thing. But after a while it became a kind of vibe and rocking out to it. A precursor to adhd music im sure. The signs were there

    Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap

    For me the issue is always these people who boost the high end just this nasty slashy sloshy snares and hats shredding your fucking ear drums. People who boost high end are scum

    Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap

    mine wasn't too bad, but lately after everything i go to it steps up another level - even wore earplugs to the last 2 things. bit jarring now ngl. Also don't know if it's cause im listening in my vsx a lot --- i don't think i have them particularly loud or anything, but who knows.

    Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap

    Hopefully mumble rap and the like dies a hard death soon enough. It's popular because its shit and every kid makes the same shit. With out-of-tune-autotune

    Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn FULL FIGHT | C. Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn FULL FIGHT

    I only managed to get in at R5... to me it looked like Benn won it minus the final round where it looked like Eubank was gonna knock him out. Good fight, despite my stream constantly pausing.

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    That happened to me, I made a beat that was like, it was "okay" but thought my okay is decent enough for here. Then when I heard it in context I was like, yeah nah can't be lazy no more. So now my "okay" beats are ones I tried on but just didn't reach the heights. I'd call this beat in here an...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Also, with respect to everyone, I think @Armani beat deserved a lot more love... voted for it every round. Final round against @K-waz was a difficult choice, but something about the way part of the arrangement hit swung it for me each time.

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Was sitting there like... ...and also... I just wish you gave more heads up on your return, I knew a "2G return beat" would be getting an automatic W unless i bring a Battle That beat. Heard your beat at the beginning and knew it'd be the one, was low-key hoping something would randomly...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Nice beat, brother. Well balanced well mixed well composed. My only "critique" is that it gave me vibes of sync music, for the background of a TV documentary or film - which isn't a bad thing, actually a really useful thing. But, it gave me less 'music' music vibes. Like 2G's maybe captured a...

    Shit advice... had a frustrating day, decided to make some fire beat, except, I couldn't get any of the fucking thing to click. Now I'm more frustrated than before. Fucking music. Fucking life. Anyway, gonna go try a-fucking-gain now. Great advice. sincerely

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Definitely curious to see whose beat was whose after the finals! Lot of good work in there :LOL:

    For sure, That's why I've been dropping things like the "IRON TIP" threads, or the mix thread I did. My personal growth has been pretty massive over the past year in regards to mixing. So when key concepts set in for me, I'm keen to share them to elevate everyone. And still feel excited that...

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Yeah I don't always think about the beat in terms of making space for the vocal to sit, sometimes this just happens very naturally, other times I don't consider it much an issue because if someone were to vocal it I could make the necessary adjustments - it would only be an issue if someone just...

    Calling all the veterans

    Funny you say the above... today, or yesterday maybe, I don't fucking know... I was listening to the Warzone beats, also thinking about your reappearance, and thinking the levels are really raising. That battles would almost become a complete wildcard because everything is so good. Which led...

    Warzone Beat Battle - April 22-26, 2025

    Oof there was one matchup in the low bracket category I really struggled deciding between. Two both really cool beats, both only mildly let down by their mixing --- both I actually voted for in the previous round too. Lot of quality work in this one.

    IRON TIP - Mixing: Great mixes are mis-balanced

    Certainly! Couple this with the fact that there are countless YouTube videos (etc) out there, even plugins themselves saying "your drums must be ( n ) loud, and your eq curve must be exactly this shape", with all these "templates", people are pretty much using the same sounds, making the same...

    Give me a list of beat genres

    I don't even feel like drill is hip hop, feels like a derivative of Grime
