  • Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO TOUR Llif3” is one of the biggest songs of the year. Over production from JW Lucas and TM88, Uzi Vert rages about relationship troubles with his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd, among other things. He premiered the track in London while opening for The Weeknd’s Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 world tour, and the song’s title pays homage to The Weeknd’s label XO.

      80% of why I listen to trap tbh, some of the producers works are honestly so good

      Trap beats do sound the best imo but they are often depicted as low effort in the producer community.

    • @HaarbergMusic
      @HaarbergMusic Před 6 lety +62

      They can be as authentic as cheapskate as well, meaning that some beats can be produced with musical effort on the keyboard yet also just tones added in Gross Beat with added rythm or straight off sampled.
      The worst thing with this is as you said that the low effort stamp still remains on the genre regardless what you've been doing in reality.
      Same could be said with some EDM though, only that the arrangements and automation differs in an extent.
      Although for an example Zaytoven beats are clearly handworked and you definitely hear the effect it shows about what can be done with the genre, only too bad with the prejudgements.
      Nothing gets you in beat more than dope ass trap joints for real.

    • @DerrickStratton-dasedesigns
      @DerrickStratton-dasedesigns Před 6 lety +73

      Find a piano. Push ANY KEY. Then count up 3 notes from there, then count up 4 notes you will have a Minor Chord. Say for example you did that with the key of C. So hold down the C key on a piano. Then count up 3 semitones (which are each individual piano keys including the black keys) you will land on D Sharp (the black key to the right of D). Then from D Sharp you count up 4 Semitones and you will land on the note of G. Now take those three keys on the piano and hold them all down at once. You will hear a Chord of C Minor!
      Now do the same but instead count up 4 semitones from C this time and you'll land on E and then count up 3 keys and you will land on G again. Now hold these three notes down and you will hear C Major :) You can do this with any key on the piano. Minor Chords are generally 0 - 3 - 7 (the first note you press is considered 0. So in our example above the note of C was our number 0. D Sharp was our number 3, and G was our number 7) Major Chords are generally 0 - 4 - 7. Try it out :)

    The fact that a song can be hype and sad at the same time thanks to these producers is ashtonishing.

    • @djnxsua
      @djnxsua Před 3 lety +5

      Lots of people think oh its just a beat, the singer/rapper is what made the song good. But if you take the beat away and replace it with another one or none at all it makes the whole vibe of the song different.
