i hate When people talk about production so much, So umm this is Rap, people write to make good music, The beat is important but never as important as the Lyrics or hook
Good Lyrics and Bad Production>Good Production and Average lyrics
This is why we listen to rap because people write something thats either amazing or so emotional that we identify with it. Hypothetically speaking, if production was more important than labels wouldn't look for writers/rappers/MC's but instead would get an attractive looking person and make them Rap crappy ghostwritten lyrics over an amazing beat. I could basically Be snapping my fingers and rap over it and it could be 1000 times better than a Huge beastly Production with Shit for lyrics. tbh i don't Give a half fuck if dr.dre or the shittiest producer does the production, I'm most likely gonna like it if the Lyrics are good, Take Rap God For Example, The beat sounds so Mainstream And Kinda Bad but the Lyrics are amazing and make me like the song
Soooo Yeah, Fuck it, i just want good music with good lyrics
What a load of shit. Rap and Hip Hop (mostly the latter) are fundamentally underpinned by production. That G Funk sound that Dre mastered in the 90s is synonymous with rap from that period. It elevates the writing.
Production will always elevate a rap song, and ever since Kanye dropped his first two albums and outsold 50Cent after it was clear that rap was moving into a new, more soulful sphere.
Rap recently has become a lot more musical. Production is extremely important. I detest posts on this forum which argue that production is unnecessary. How? How is a well orchestrated piece of music a sign of less talent than a well written verse? Both a written if instruments are used in the former. Listen to MBDTF. The production on that is what makes that album so good. Every track is a joy to listen to. No one wants to hear someone talk to them for an hour. They want to hear something more, something enticing that moves them. Production gives them that.
