Sound in "Drop it Like It's Hot" by pharrell

[Hott Sauce]

Man... a beat doesn't have to be complex for it to be good. In fact, very often, the more basic stuff is better.

"Drop it like it's Hot" has a greeeeat groove and a greeeeeat vibe.... not to mention that it has a super catchy vocal hook.

I am not even generally a hip hop fan, and I can see this.

Do you think you measure the quality of a track by how many notes you can fit into it? or how many different chords you can squeeze into a pregression?

Do you see how rediculous that sounds?

Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean it is not a good song.

You don't have to analyze a song to tell whether it is good or not... a good song is simply a song that you like... for whatever reason.... because it makes you nod your head... because it makes you tap your foot... because it makes you smile... because you like it!

When you hear a song for the first time and someone asks if you like it, do you say "I don't know, let me analyze it and see if it applies enough advanced theory concepts, then I will know if I like it. You don't expect my to know just from listening to it, do you? What, do you expect me to have an opinion simply on how it sounds?""


Seems to me, you are missing the whole point of art.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FP POSTS EVER
seems like so many on fp get into the technicals of the music

and forget about the music it self.............

i could have sworn it was one of those rain sticks.. the wooden tube with the beads in it. chopped up and played back. i used to have one around the house when i was younger so it sounded familiar.

To add more fuel to the fire!

I seen the video from the very begining and while that "white noise" was playing they were using a spray paint can.

Maybe that is a subliminal?!
