Im starting to realize that many producer on this site are not familiar with the beat scene. let me warn you if your not. within a few years you WILL be obsolete and will have to much catching up to do to get anywhere.

Do any of these names ring bells to anybody here? these are a list of cats (besides melo-x and THC) that have a following because of their BEATS. no rappers, hardly any lyrics besides vocal acapellas and mashups. lets seee whos really on their shit

flying lotus
bmb aka spacekid
b.lewis
mr.carmack
mono/poly
esta
atu
melo-x
falcons
THC
Morri$
elaquent
evil needle
deej
juj

and trust me im really only naming a few

why do you think i have no idea? cuz you dont? designing your own sounds and using your own samples mixed with other samples. and building your own midi controller. its been going this way for years bro do your research. thats how i have an idea of where things are going.. but i agree with the last part

and your missing the point bruh im talkin bout the beat scene are you familiar or not

i can see the future bro. not literally but i see it. the future is now. my homie who has a beat label's motto is "The sound of Tomorrow" so yes theyre are predictions but whats the difference. im not sayin i know excactly how its going to be but its the PRINCIPLES that WILL be there. designing your own sounds. thats from scratch so you gotta no all about oscillators,modulation,patches and etc and using field samples to get a unique sound like my homie using a bycycle wheel click for a hi hat. those two principles combined with sampling and to top it off creating your own midi controllers like that dude in germany that uses a nintendo power glove form the 80's to make his beats.
the part you said something about making records confused me. are you sayin that those songs arent records? and you responded to the bs bro thats why

Okay, my dude. Ya Flying Lotus, who's that guy (sarcasm)?:4theloveofgod: Melo-X don't he rock with Jessie Boykins? The other guys are mainly "underground" cats. One of the guys you mentioned had less than 100 followers on his soundcloud! Ya they may have a following, but they are not household names outside of their sub-genre's (electronic/dub/hip-hop/edm, etc) followers. They may be able to make money, but be serious. Flying Lotus been killing shit for years, but Nas or Jay Z would rather get a track from hit-boy then him. Just cause you rock them with doesn't mean they are the future of mainstream music. It seems like you're trying to force your personal preference of underground producers on the mainstream. I know you're not new here but there are a lot of people on this site that know more about music than they talk about in the (hip-hop)gossip section. No disrespect my friend, but it sounds like you're pushing your own agenda of what music should sound like, not the reality of what popular music is today, and you're knocking cats who are not talking bout the folks u like. my 2 cents.

yo. this whole scene is underground bro. so what if one dude had less than 100 followers elaquent one of the dudes i named has over 10,000. and this beat scene shit is ANYTHING BUT MAINSTREAM. like i said they do hardly any songs with rappers so jay-z an them have nothing to do with it. and yeah melo-x fux wit jessie boykins. and let me be clear alot of them arent making money off it its strictly for the love and creation of music. thats my point its going to take a while for "mainstream" producers to catch on cuz the mainstream is always behind. like ymcmb and hella cats was using that voice studder like cmon bro rappers only sound as good as the producer is able to make them sound and since these beat guys are the most technically adept with beats the shit has no choice but to go in that direction. cmon why the hell you think clams casino, arab muzik, and other cats are releasing beat tapes where its only BEATS. they see the beat scene coming up how these cats are making crazy dope shit and have no lyrics on them and have fans buying and supporting them without any lyricists and are producing doper shit than alot of "mainstream" guys. XXYYXX getting 4 million views on his video thats just a beat helps prove what direction things are going. no disrespect takin bro. and im not knocking anyone like i said cats just need to be aware of whats going on in the world of PRODUCERS..

and for the record i dont really like the word "beat scene" but the name isnt as important as what it represents


and which dude has less than 100 followers? i have less than 100 but im not on the list lol. i will be tho

Having skills doesn't mean much these days. The people with the money will hire the people with skills or find someone with similar skills to make money from. People are expendable and replaceable.

It certainly isn't about being the first out with a style. It's about who gets the most fame and notoriety from that sound. Besides, sounds come and go so quick these days. A guy could spend time developing a sound, make big money for a while, and go back to being an underground cat in 5 years or less.
 
^^^ The spacekid dude (https://soundcloud.com/beat-maker-beat). But ya, there are more producers (beatmakers) than rappers/singers. The beat tape is not new, just like underground producers are not new. Some blow, some don't. Its just the nature of the game. Eventually cats need to make money, and that's when shit gets interesting. Nothing wrong with the luv though, and I always appreciate hearing about fresh new cats. :cheers:

spacekid has 6,221 followers, hes following less than 100 people lol.. he one of my favorite producers but do you see how many plays that kendrick lamar flip got? 42,000 in a month cmon pretty soon big heads are gonna want to help fund these cats theyre doing big numbers

serious question. do you know the history of the beat tape. id assume that an album with only hiphop instrumentals is a pretty new thing. but maybe you can clarify. and if it isnt new its never been at this rate and takin this seriously

You Sir, have been served. :cool:

not really no. all tat really matters to the masses is the end product. you think that 16 yr old girl gives a **** about the vst used on a katy perry song? Or that the hi hat is a bicycle wheel? A big key to future success is stop trying to impress other producers and just make music

i no they dont give a **** about the specific sound used. but i bet you that katy perry wouldnt mind having sounds that no other artist can really duplicate or by the time they do shes on some next shit. shes not hip hop but you get the point.but ifthe end product is uncomparable and sounds good people will **** with it

I doubt she would care also, unless she has a particular interest in sound design. Most artists, labels and fans only care about one thing and thats the end result of if the music is good or not.

i understand that bro thats basic shit i been in the game long enough to know that at least. but the best product is a product thats also unique so that why i said that. like i say dont take my word for it look at how many plays cats is getting

this is getting redundant tho i said what i said i wanted to know what PRODUCERS think about it and thats all. im over it lol

Ive never heard any of those producers. They could be buzzin in the area where they are from but then I could sit and name some producers from out here that Ive sat in their 350k studio whos recorded songs for "RICK ROSS" but that doesnt mean that theres no way in hell that anyone else right now could be making music that skyrockets. Like dude said it can go anyway ,music has so much versatility so who knows. Now if you tell me these guys are amazing at what they do and could well be the next level of production nobody will doubt that but to sit here and say nobody else has a chance is ludacris you dont know the stuff people do in this industry to make ends meet. A lot of people record "natural sounds" lol thats not a secret homie. I could agree that if they are on that level that a lot of the "generic/boombap" beatmakers will be obselete id say yea because they should of quit while they were ahead. But thats what I love about music the next man coming up will be the guy youd least expect and then everybody hates him afterwards because supposedly their homeboy was the next to come up!

dogbo the only one of those i recognize is flying lotus, are you talking about artists like mndsng, ras g, samiyam, knxwledge?

regardless i love this stuff and they're doing some innovative things but i can't see this genre blowing up TBH, it's really not pop music. too introverted/headphones oriented, not for clubs or parties at all.

"It certainly isn't about being the first out with a style. It's about who gets the most fame and notoriety from that sound." That is the story of life in the 21st century. No idea is original. Picasso said it best. "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Apple wasn't the first with an mp3 player, Facebook wasn't the first social network, Beats by Dre weren't the first headphones, etc.

yeah im talkin bout those cats. if you no knxledge and them you should check out some of the names i listed. i know its not pop but my point is that given 5-10 years time i think pop producers will need to have the same amount of knowledge when it comes to sound design. I mean look at the UK scene that is HUGE daft punk for example have a very tech savvy approach to music and theyre sought after all over the world. skrillex too. you know how much dubstep i hear in commercials and in movies now cmon! just that simple bass wobble which took some smart designing has damn near taken over. its in pop too. dubstep and beat music are not as far away from eachother as you would think
