What Is Wrong With the Rap Beats?

Cheap Beats By Dre Solo, I\'m going to go through a variety of instrumentals that have always held a special place in my heart. Most of them are from rap music in the 1990\'s through early 2000\'s. I think, as do many that these are the years when rap music reached its peak. It had finally developed far enough as a musical genre and artists were coming out with some of the most in depth and tantalizing music. Rap music before these years was still in sort of a developmental stage where, as with any genre of music, the music hadn\'t yet reached its ultimate level of complexity. After these years the genre really began to dumb itself down, even the great artists who rose to the top of the industry during this time period were releasing music that wasn\'t there best and just plain not as inspiring. Lets discuss what was going on in the beginning of rap Cheap Beats By Dre Solo music.

Lets be honest as cool and innovative as the early days of rap were the music itself was very basic. The musical backdrop was comprised mostly of drums mixed in with a little DJ scratching and maybe some horns, bass, or keys taken from a sample. The vocals that were in the forefront of the music were also very primitive. Using very simple rhyming patterns and rhyming words, sometimes delving into politics and mostly just party music. This is not an attempt to take away from the music at all. Rap in its beginnings was extremely revolutionary and innovative. After all, the entire world had never really heard anything that was like this before. If you look at the early eras of Cheap Beats By Dre Solo other genres of music you will also find that the music was undeveloped. Early blues would be simple guitar chords and vocals, early classical was just a piano sonata or string quartet neither of which come close to matching the complexity of a full symphonic orchestra. Early rap was the same way, it just grazed the surface of what the music could really be.

The artist\'s that took rap music to the next level are artists like Cheap Beats By Dre Solo Jay-Z, Outkast, Nas, and Dr. Dre. When you compare the complexity of these lyrics (with the exception of Dr. Dre) to the early days it is impossible to not argue that they have come a lot way. The words that are rhymed are a lot more complex, using multiple syllables within the rhymes. Not just going AA BB with the rhyme pattern, the rhythms used by the rappers has also developed along with their storytelling abilities. Dr. Dre is on the list for his production, specifically for his work on The Chronic. The complexity of the music on these albums was in my opinion not yet reached in the genre of rap music.

Fast forward to rap music now and you it is almost like we are going back words. Maybe the industry just isn\'t as talented or maybe the consumers are just getting dumber. After all we are the first generation that is less educated than our parents. Nonetheless if you listen to rappers they just can\'t seem to do it like the old greats. Everything is getting more basic from the content, to the wordplay to the beats.
