So what is the deal with hip hop being thrown together with a bunch of premade loops and people thinking that their making music? Since when did you not need to know how to play an instrument in order to compose music. To a song writer like myself, this is frustrating cause people are just slapping stuff together and its 4 minutes of listening to a 2 to 4 measure loop over and over again. Dropping instruments in and out is not writing changes, its called muting tracks :|. If you do this, then I strongly urge you to make the music change when the chorus comes in and don't be afraid to make a bridge. Now sampling is totally different, there is a true art to sampling something and turning it into something of your own and then on top of that making something that is respectable. If you are going to make a new song and use a sample, I think there needs to be some sort of respect happening in the song in relation to the original production of the particular song that has been sampled. OK enough of the lack of creativity process in hip hop for now. Thanks for reading and share you thoughts with me.
Cheers!
