It eventually caught on and producers came to the realization that there is a Spongebob quote for everything, so why not hop on the train and get yourself a new tag as well? But thereвЂ™s one that stood out, and itвЂ™s New York producer Evil GianeвЂ™s Mermaid Man sampling вЂњ Evil вЂќ tag. It was a random Spongebob quote that Izak stumbled into, thought it sounded hard, and decided to throw in a few beats. The most important thing to come from YBN NahmirвЂ™s surprise 2017 hit вЂњ Rubbin Off The Paint вЂќ was producer IzakвЂ™s вЂњ Let me offer this as a rebuttal вЂќ tag. And just like 6ix9ine has found success with some Juvenile thievery, it lets the rappers on SoundCloud know that itвЂ™s okay to steal from somebody besides the Chicago legend. On вЂњWallet,вЂќ Franco sticks to the Gucci blueprint and it works out well. Oddly, as revered as Gucci has been by the new generation of rappers, that admiration is not easily found in the music. But, rapper Franco has found a refreshing source of inspiration as he tries his hand at one of the flows made famous by Gucci Mane. Okay, SoundCloud was actually built on jacking Chief Keef. Whether it was Playboi Carti stealing Chief KeefвЂ™s flow or Lil Uzi Vert stealing Chief KeefвЂ™s flow or Lil Yachty stealing Chief KeefвЂ™s flowвЂ¦you get the point. Summrs!, who has maintained a relatively low profile releasing autotuned love ballads onto SoundCloud weekly, impressively manages to keep up with the meme ready Weiland. On вЂњWhoвЂ™s Better,вЂќ Summrs! & Weiland battle over a Stoopidxool beat that energizes both. But, theyвЂ™re wrong because Stoopidxool is one of the platforms best, and donвЂ™t let his style being lifted by pretty much everyone blind you. Some people would probably accept the punishment of having to watch a 6 hour DJ Akademiks Twitch stream rather than having to hear another beat with a вЂњPlugвЂќ tag. Take a second to think about your favorite pairings: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, Kristaps Porzingis & Trae Young (let me dream), Jorja Smith & Kali Uchis (on Instagram), and right there with them are plug beats and autotune. The closest comparisons are the slow and almost conversational style of rapperвЂ™s like CamвЂ™ron, French Montana, and Red Cafe. They use flows that youвЂ™re guaranteed not to find on Cole BennettвЂ™s Youtube page. The rapping on the track by Richard2oo4, Ouee 2 Times, and Papo Johnson fits smoothly into the era. Raw, producer Subjxct 5 transforms himself into MPC era araabMUZIK- a 2007 Fabolous would foam at the mouth if he had gotten the chance to hear Subjxct 5вЂ™s claps paired with a melody that sounds like it belongs in SpongebobвЂ™s вЂњ SB-129 вЂќ episode. On вЂњJohn Cena,вЂќ from their recent group project named after the 2004 video game Smackdown Vs.

New Jersey rap collective 2oo4 have made it their mission to capture the essence of the вЂ2000s and their dedication to it is admirable. But SoundCloud operates on its own terms and its artists have instead become infatuated with an era that had less Black sitcoms but more Black reality shows ( it worked out well ). Is this just another name for an Interscope Records compilation playlist? LetвЂ™s make rules, and if a song doesnвЂ™t meet at least one aspect of this criteria theyвЂ™re not allowed on our SoundCloud chart.

Alphonse Pierre is not happy with Frankie Smokes.
