WOOZY GENERAL
A burgeoning genre of Hip Hop characterized by a fusion of Trap Rap instrumentation, heavily layered autotune, and highly prominent psychedelic undertones present in the production
Landmark works of the genre thus far are:
>Future - DS2
>Young Thug - Barter 6
>Travi$ Scott - Rodeo
Discuss, post Woozy tracks you've been working on, share new artists
>psychedelic
>meme rap
>pyschedelic undertones
"psychedelic" as far as pop rap goes, which isn't even remotely psychedelic at all but the dense synth-heavy production and autotune gives it something reminiscent of that sound
not saying any of this is special or avant-garde, but it's a clear trend that's developing in rap and is already starting to develop into a distinct sound (separate from cloud rap, which is similar but less aggressive)
this is like what those white 15 year olds on instagram listen to and post about on their profile "hip.__hop.__classix"
so basically pop trap?
yeah this is pretty much what i was trying to get at with the chart
>ANOTHER meme rap general
idk if you're being sarcastic, but in this chart only Useless is too abrasive to be pop
whats the album to the left of useless?
lil uzi vert vs. the world
just trap rap
so this is basically /trash/ general? cool
useless was more of an afterthought, included it because it fits within the more nocturnal/oppressive side of the genre's spectrum (21 savage, future, travis scott), but for the most part the stuff listed is just very hooky trap rap with excessive autotune and pop influences and a similar aesthetic
once people start ripping off travis scott and thug more, the style is going to be more apparent
thanks for categorizing literally everything wrong with hip-hop into one stupid concept
Rodeo doesn't deserve to be up there with DS2 and Barter 6.
you mean it should be higher? because it's miles better than DS2 anb B6
low iq music that will be forgotten
remember tnght?
Fuck off. DS2 and Barter 6 are in another league. Both are consistent in tone, mood and texture. Rodeo feels disjointed. Travis Scott is like a DJ Khaled character. The only good song on the entire album is Wasted. Juicy J absolutely slays.
DS2 and B6 are cringy af, while Rodeo has a decent narration.
>while Rodeo has a decent narration.
go on
This
Young Thug has unique vocals at least, while Future is an absolute hack.
>DS2 and B6 are cringy af
Rodeo is a thousand times more cringey. Travis Scott is a biter, he's all style no substance. He wears thrash metal shirts because "they look cool". He's a pretty obvious industry plant, his debut mixtape was co-produced by the likes of Kanye West, T-pain and some other big names.
DS2 and B6 will be seen as peaks of this whole Atlanta trap movement.
every album on that chart is irredeemable garbage. modern day trap has reached levels of corporate degeneracy that rival the disco movement.
>He wears thrash metal shirts because "they look cool
>He's a pretty obvious industry plant
>his debut mixtape was co-produced by the likes of Kanye West, T-pain and some other big names
how exactly does it make Rodeo more cringey than DS2 or Barter 6?
Nohow, fuck off
Hip-hop threads are usually pretty retarded, if you can't handle it then go away
Ok, thanks senpai
i seriously hope this is bait
You only like Rodeo because Fantano gave it an 8.
I don't even watch him
Then you just have bad taste because Rodeo is trash.
elaborate
>better lyrics
>better production
>lots of great features
>the album itself is more variative and consistent at the same time
>trash
your opinion is a complete garbage
>>better lyrics
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yes, even lyrics on rodeo better than lyrics on ds2 and barter 6, you're retarded if you're disagree
>Ayy, she runnin' away from my weed like it farted
>you're retarded if you're disagree
do you even english?
>better lyrics
Just no. Absolutely nobody, not even his biggest fanboys, consider Travis to be a great lyricist.
>better production
Not as consistent as the Metro Boomin and Soutshide produced DS2 and not as atmospheric as Barter 6.
>lots of great features
The features outshine Travis every time. All the features also make it a less personal album.
>the album itself is more variative and consistent at the same tim
The only good track on the entire album is Wasted.
cringe
you actually think that it's not better than lyrics on DS2 and B6? I mean Travis Scott is not a good lyricist, but he's better than Future or Young Thug
>Just no. Absolutely nobody, not even his biggest fanboys, consider Travis to be a great lyricist.
better than somebody =/= great
>Not as consistent as the Metro Boomin and Soutshide produced DS2 and not as atmospheric as Barter 6.
metro boomin is a great producer, but sometimes pretty boring, beats on rodeo are way more variarive than those on regular Future or Young Thug album which features usually 1 or 2 producers
>The features outshine Travis every time. All the features also make it a less personal album.
I don't care about an album being personal, since these rappers are not good at lyrics anyway
>The only good track on the entire album is Wasted.
well, that's just a shit taste
Hm. I figured this was a continuation of cloud rap. I mean the beats definitely reflect cloud rap or trap. Reminds me of some Clams, Main Attrakionz, fluence. It's too much like it to be called otherwise imhotbqfhfamalamingo
>can say nothing
>gonna talk about grammar, no matter that this guy is probably just a foreigner
Won't even bother responding to all this. Rodeo is trash, end of story.
>Rodeo is trash, end of story
can you elaborate?
So is this like Cred Forums's version of Belt Scroller general?
hip-hop fags are usually too dumb to elaborate, especially if someone elaborated before them in the same discussion
You are literally not smart.
you're pathetic
>all these fags arguing about which steaming pile of shit is better
hmm, ok I can get behind this. Certainly an emerging sound in modern hip hop right now, with Travis and Metro Boomin being at the forefront. Going by your definition though, I'd probably take uzi off the chart, considering it doesn't really fit in with the darker, more sinister albums that are on here.
Probably a little too early to classify this as its own genre, but there's no denying Travis and Thugger are pioneering something new.
Useless is certainly ahead of its time, and actually fits in surprisingly well with a lot of the albums here. Interesting thoughts, OP.
Savage Mode is the best rap record I've heart this decade.
Travis is a biter without a single original thought. And he's not responsible for any of the music that's being put out with his name.
i put uzi there because his beats usually fit the description i gave too a tee; really excessive autotune and relatively unconventional and dense instrumentation
it's going to take a while for this style to fully blossom, but it definitely is a very clearly observable phenomenon in hip hop right now
savage mode and ds2 only good albums on that chart
YOU CAN'T TALK /WOOZY/ WITHOUT MENTIONING ITS CREATOR.
Savage mode has psychedelic undertones?
Collegrove should be on here too.
I like this now
Metro Boomin does
The chart is about albums, not producers. Savage mode doesn't have psychedelic undertones.
Its produced by Metro
The production is very minimal/spacey and almost "psychedelic" at times, but it doesn't really fall under any other criteria listed in the OP
I would put something like Stay Trippy there instead? If OP isn't here then maybe someone else could take care of that
Metro is known for his psychedelic production? No, he's know for his trap bangers.
Super Saiyan Vol. 2 by Sicko Mobb
Lil Boat
Need more stuff like this for my collection, any recs? Already listened to most of the OP.
Also, been wanting to see something like this for a while, thanks OP.
Add Chief Keef's Finally Rich to this list also
That's Drill.
sicko mobb is bop, but that is a fucking great tape
lil boat is essential, don't know how i missed that
thank you, mr. tokyo by madeintyo is pretty good
I dig travie and young thug, but I'm not willing to check on this lil vert guy nor lily boat, am i doomed forever to listen to rodeo and DBR?
wasted is one of the worst tracks lmao
90210 part 2 is the answer you're looking for.
Jazz Cartier - Marauding In Paradise
Drake + Future - What A Time To Be Alive
2 Chainz + Lil Wayne - Collegrove
Siddiq + Vektroid - Midnight Run
Rae Sremmurd - Sremmlife 2
Yung Lean - Warlord
Bladee - Eversince
Migos stuff
Should be suffiicient
Can we include PR&B in this general? I feel like they're closely related enough.
Been listening to a lot of TYuS and Night Lovell lately tho
Are you guys fuckin retarded and/or deaf?
Travis lyricism, while usually verysimple, is pretty substantial, personal, revealing, honest, and entertaining. I enjoy it, but it took a lot of listens throughout his material.
Also, do you really think Wasted is the best track?? Honestly it was the most forgettable for me, still love it tho. Rodeo is an honest to god 10/10 for me, best hip-hop album since Masters of the Universe by Binary Star
i was about to include concept vague in the chart but i figured it didn't fit the criteria well enough, night lovell's production is usually loopy but his vocals are pretty clean
and pbr&b is a close enough fit, a lot of these artists either rap-sing or have really melodic vocals
Thanks brodies!
I know they're different genres scenes, but they still have that same auto tune goodness and semi-psychedelic beats. Citgo is a trap song with no kick and an ambient pad, it's relatively trippy.
Also, Soulja Boy could go on that list. Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty are direct descendants. Lil B may fit as well.
RVIDXR KLVN
This is more the direction of Bones, $uicideboy$, Ugly Mane, and Curry. New Memphis I gueas? Any recs like this?
>Woozy
Fuck off with your made up terms. It's called New Atlanta.
ITT kids who know nothing about rap and want to be part of the next "big thing"
This is like that post hip hop thread
