Absolutely guarantee that Rloggers will have been into this one.

His favourite line: “Flyin’ first class through the air, Airbnb” (what?)

    bosstrabs I’m sure there was a guilty pleasure thread on bedrock where I admitted this. Easy panty dropper at house, pool parties IMO. Not averse to fun pop tunes with infectious hooks.

      rhouses Please post all your funk wav bounces in here Rhouses, your own thread.

      Not sure if the CTR and views are worth the effort, but will drop some bangers in here now and then.

      Rhouses, can you give a weight update plz? Does it fluctuate after monolithic cable laying?

        I’m picturing all the panties dropping around the pool when this bounces through the speakers. Great spot I’d say.

        That contemporary “rap” or “hip hop” that you hear nowadays with the use of autotune is absolutely fucking shit. Nobody has a good voice in this genre anymore. When I hear that track from the other year “Astronaut in the Ocean” I want to gouge my ears clean with an ice pick. Throw all these bastards into the sea. You too Rhouses.

          I think Vinny has covered the main touch-points there

          His songs are a right mixed bag, but if you’re including The Weeknd in those genres then he has an excellent voice.

            hugopal No he doesn’t, they all sound the same, they all use the same style and cadence. Its rubbish.
            Just like every female pop artist bar one or two sound like Rihanna. It’s a “singing” style that’s popular and therefore sells. That’s all producers and record companies care about now. Rap artists from the 90s, all the top level guys had their own sound. Those days are over, stop kidding yourself. The Weeknd could be mistaken for Bruno Mars.

              I’m surprised Cher’s pioneering vocoder vox never took over the world if I’m honest

                Rapper: “Yo fam I’ve got da rhymes but my voice sounds like a car with a hole in the exhaust.”

                Producer: “I’ve got just the thing and the kids love it. Let me strip you of your individuality and make you a STAR.”

                LT42 No he doesn’t, they all sound the same, they all use the same style and cadence. Its rubbish

                Yes he definitely does.

                No autotune on this for instance:

                  hugopal I’m not talking about the quality of his vocal chords but well done on completely missing the point.

                    Your comment which I was responding to stated:

                    “That contemporary “rap” or “hip hop” that you hear nowadays with the use of autotune is absolutely fucking shit. Nobody has a good voice in this genre anymore.”

                    He has a good voice and doesn’t rely on autotune.

                    So what are you withering on about?!

                    • LT42 replied to this.

                      hugopal yeah that video of The Weeknd you posted really reminds me of Easy-E. You stupid fucking bastard.

                        LT42 No shit?! Your comment followed the thread bump by Rhouses of a track by Future ft The Weeknd.

                        Your “point” basically seems to have been “I only want to listen to someone who sounds like Easy-E, waah waah waaah. I don’t like it if someone posts music that doesn’t sound like Easy-E! If they don’t sound like Easy-E then they must have a crap voice and use autotune. Except if they actually do have a good voice and don’t use autotune - but it still can’t be good because it’s not like Easy-E”.

                        If you want to listen to Easy-E then just listen to Easy-E you Alzheimers-ridden goof.

                        Like this track or not, but there’s plenty of Rap being knocked out today. Just very localized. I can tell you that when our DJ dude plays this on a packed night everyone goes bananas. Part of it being that people like seeing a local Oakland kid making a name for themselves and getting out of the ’hood. There’s pride in it, I guess.

                          Here’s what I gleaned from that.

                          Bitch
                          Nigger
                          Whore
                          Mother fucker

                          Oh and the obligatory gun references. Boring. Done to death.

                            That’s because you’re old. Like me. Not for you to “get.” But as expected from Jaded Clubbers. It is in the name, after all. A constant whine fest about anything and everything. Boring is right.

                              jonattonyeah

                              Age doesn’t come into it, I didn’t have a problem with NWA back in the day. At least theirs was making a statement. This is just mindless bile and the overuse of nigger whore and bitch is repugnant. The guy must be a polluted brain dead moron, it all makes me feel a bit sick.
                              Plus the actual music behind it is simplistic at best.

                              Dave just DM’d with “mate you need to share some machine gun Kelly in that thread”.

                              🙄

                              I actually avoided pretty much all the new rappers from 2010 onwards. The combination of autotune, the face tattoos, and the mumbling did nothing for me.

                              I’ve only started giving the new breed a go, and I’m quite impressed if I’m being honest. Can’t really listen to their stuff on a laptop on YouTube, need to have a proper sub woofer doing all the work for the bass. YG, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Future, some of the Run The Jewels stuff.

                              Happy to back Hugo here too, The Weeknd is talented. Production is tight, and he’s got a solid voice. Maybe a tad bit cheesy but I’m ok with it.

                              Anyways here’s some balance for the old school - banger as always:

                              Also not having to pay 20 bucks for a cd and being able to stream through all the shite helps opening up horizons.

                              LT42 I didnt read any of that, Hugo, as I didn’t bring my waders.

                              Lol!

                              jonattonyeah Like this track or not, but there’s plenty of Rap being knocked out today. Just very localized.

                              Thats exactly why I mentioned the accessible chart nonsense in my original post, J. I’m sure there’s a ton of good “unknown” rappers out there, just not the examples you or Hugo posted.
