It's not so much 'like a machine' as it is a real program... It's called Fruity Loops. You can blame Fruity Loops for Soulja Boy, all his knock-offs, and the entire R&B/pop-music market for most of Africa - no joke, I've listened to what's popular there and it's all made with the same cut-rate drum-machine tones and rhythms.Falien said:Modern rap/R&B music is as generic as it gets, in my opinion. It sounds like there's a machine somewhere that produces "hits" and hands them out to performers. Other kinds of mainstream music also suffer from this to a degree, but rap/R&B (or whatever they call it nowadays) takes the cake.
You can't even say Fruity Loops is the problem. You can make great beats like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv0zFvMN6hU], or you can make crap like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SZ3R9-Z0EM]. It depends on the person using it.300lb.

TheSKSpecial said:OK, true that. But those guys (is it Little Brother? or is it someone else's remix of Little Brother?) obviously are putting a lot more into it, you can hear some SOUL in that track. There's just a bad trend of music technology that is making it easy for people to do the MINIMUM and somehow outshine those who are putting their all into it. A track like laffy taffy: I could load a sequencer, piss all over my keyboard, quantize the whole mess and copy the best two bars into Fruity Loops and still come out with a track at least as good. But you're right - it's the labels that are authenticating this bullshit by capitalizing on it, they're the bigger problem.300lb. Samoan said:You can't even say Fruity Loops is the problem.

I'd say blame the record labels that push the bullshit out there.
Which brings us a classic stereotype/generalization: record labels fucking up the music industry!
I know. I would have said "carpenter" but I wanted stay away from making obvious comments about religion.Simiou said:They also used this in the Bible.McClaud said:Stereo-typical?
The young, 16ish year-old secretly adopted male who grew up a woodcutter/farmer/poor boy who slowly learns that he's the son or descendant of some greater, more powerful/rich family who slowly but awkwardly becomes the great hero that saves the world from some great menace

Walking around their yuppie outdoor mall with their pants sagging below their boxers, low enough to expose the skin on the back of their legs.
When I snap I plan to weld a rusty metal (spiked) cow catcher to my Kia and watch them run whilst looking over their shoulders in terror struggling to keep their pants up, only to splash blood and mangled limbs on my windshield and be purged from existence.
Don't judge me.
