Roc Marciano is probably the ONLY reason why I'm still listening to Hip Hop. He is a one-man Golden Age for the 2020's as far as I'm concerned. I basically stopped listening to Hip Hop (hell, American music in general) by 2010, so disgusted with how things had declined. Somehow I discovered BITTER DOSE during the Covid pandemic, and that album became tattooed to my brain (I also have a playlist of all the songs he sampled for this album). So I'm a fan of anything tangentially related to Marciano, and slowing regaining hope this genre.

Perfect example today is Alchemist and Boldy James. They’re killing it and it fits very well for both artists. 🔥

Ikr. I just was saying that. This guy is in tuned.

Back in the Myspace days I sent Armageddon from Terror Squad some of my beats. He replied (which was nice or him), and said that my beats 'needed more elements'. I was using loops with very light, simple drums. Now look! I still have those beat CD's and Zip disks.

One thing’s for sure, you can’t have a rapper with a weak flow or lyrics over a drum less beat. It’s a beautiful antithesis to the tradition of “booty-shaking” hip hop and a focus on bringing out an emcee’s presence.

Save for Hollow Bones and ATIGIY, the others use drums, my guy. But yes, I see what you're saying. This style has been around for a long time though.

To everyone bashing the drumless beats...different producers have different philosophies about how their beats are supposed to compliment an artist. Nicholas Craven has always said that his production is not about pursuing the goal of making the best beat or being considered the best producer, it's about activating his artists as much as possible. In his mind, if the beat inspires the artist to write great lyrics and the song as a whole is good, then the producer's job is done. Drumless hip hop also requires special samples which are harder to find and require a different level of digging from the producer. A lot of my drumless beats take longer to create than my percussion-heavy beats when you consider the amount of time spent looking for samples. The video explains this concept well but I think some just don't like it.

@seanfrance3182

7 ай бұрын

I love this statement “activating the artist” it’s so true. Hip-hop/ rap is not a monolith, some artists really know how to paint a picture and sometimes deep sounds without the clutter of 808s and heavy drums are needed to score a song or message. I’m a huge fan of Nicholas Craven and Alchemist for realizing this.

Opposite for me since I mostly make sampled beats. Its actually harder to add percussions to samples because it has drums already, not to mention most boom bap style has been over done, so one criticizes themselves like "naw thats already been done before", causing me to do drumless beats. It is lazy. And it seems like nothing we add to it works. Because the sample is THAT good. So we settle with drumless beats.

Great video, it’s important to note that “drumless” doesn’t necessarily mean no drums in the beat at all, it just means that the drums aren’t the most prominent part of the beat. It makes it so that you HAVE TO pay attention to every other element of a sample and really appreciate it and let the sample breathe. Nicholas Craven is probably my favorite producer rn, songs like Smokin Samson, Power Nap, Straight & Tall, Brand New Chanel Kicks, etc… his albums with Boldy… it’s just differenttt

"Please listen to my demo" by EPMD is my first introduction to this style and that was back in the 80's. I can still bump that track to this day and it's still sounds fresh.

I’m sure to some it might seem “Lazy” in terms of production but it’s the same as not understanding Picasso painting a masterpiece in five minutes. It’s the ear and the work that was put in years before that adds up to that skill and there’s a feeling of catching lightning in a bottle when you find that loop. Haters will always hate but there’s enough styles in hip hop alone to please everyone’s taste. 👍

Am I missing something here? Loads of us were making drumless tracks in the 80s. It was out of necessity because our samplers couldn’t play a sample and a beat at the same time so we had to find samples that worked with no beat accompaniment. This technique was definitely around before the producers mentioned in this video. Sure, they may have become famous for it, but they didn’t invent it.

Listening to Alc made me search for others too and its taken me on such an incredible journey through music. I couldn't be happier that I've discovered their music Earl, Mike, Mavi and and everyone else have been creeping into and cementing their place in my rotation since last year. Earl solidified it this year when I listened to "Some Rap Songs" earlier this year and couldn't stop listening to "The Mint" with him and Navy Blue. Mike and Wiki made an incredible statement with the Alchemist profuced "Faith is a Rock" and the standout track is easily "Mayors a Cop".

This reminds me of when Prince dropped one of the only Pop songs to not have a bassline. “When Doves Cry” i watched an interview with his engineer she said “it got really big then during mixdown he kind of removed a lot of things and unproduced it. Then the last thing he did was remove the bass and said “ain’t nobody gonna beleive i’d do this.” At the end of the day he trusted his musical instinct to fit the feel he wanted and it ended up becoming arguably his most successful song.

That eternal sunshine riff from the soundtrack has its own fantastic breakdown on how Jon Brion made it. There's a behind the scenes that had came out shortly after the movie was released.

"Let the rhythm hitm!!!"...not just the beat. We sometimes find ourselves "hypnotized by the drums" and miss the lyrics. Some productions do that on purpose to sell content. They drown out the lack of lyricism by a banging/catchy beat. Most times when people say they like a song is because the best and the hook are catchy. Without the beat yet using the music to put the lyrics at the for front is brilliant, if you are blessed enough to find a pure lyricist/poet to carry the project.
