What ever happened to the remix culture in the 2000s and do you think it will come back?

I remember DJs or remixers used to mash up different acapella verses from songs and remix it with an instrumental. Some remixed biggie and 2pac verses on a beat together. I expected with stem separation we would see it back. You don’t have to buy acapellas on LP or DJ websites giving you acapella and instrumentals.

I also miss the days of producer remixes like so so remix, Timbaland remix or neptunes remix.

Hi I am a rapper and producer who just dropped my new tape on Spotify and Apple Music recently. Ive been trying to experiment with some different drum patterns and Ive been inspired by plugg and sstepteam shit recently. If you’re into those genres please consider checking it out and any feedback is greatly appreciated

I’m from India, and I’ve always wanted to do something in music. At first, I just wanted to become a music producer, but I’ve recently gotten into rap.
I’ve tried writing several times. After listening to rappers like Eminem, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Big Pun, Rakim, and others, I got really inspired. I listened to their music a lot back in my college days. I wrote a lot of ideas in my notes—just random thoughts, ideas, and lines that sounded good—but I never ended up writing a whole verse.
Last time I checked my notes, I realized it had been three years since I wrote some of those ideas, and I still hadn’t worked on them. I always thought I would eventually write some lyrics around those ideas or thoughts, but it never happened. I’ve never even managed to write a full 16 bars.
Can anyone tell me how I can become more consistent and write better rap lyrics? Every time I try to write, nothing comes to my head, and I just end up getting demotivated.
I’ve even tried freestyling over beats. I’m pretty good at flowing over them, but it’s not even some badass shit—it’s mostly just gibberish that I do over and over, hoping I might come up with some ideas that I can actually write down.
I really love doing this, by the way. I just don’t enjoy the writing part. 😅
Well i want to write in hindi i do listen to other indian rappers obviously i kinda stuck and confused with the writing part please help me with it guys .

Anyone wanna collab on a song, respond to this and i’ll send you the song. I will also provide some of my previous work if wanted.

I have a complete original rap lyric built around two characters.

The interesting part is that the dialogue isn’t rigidly assigned. Some lines can be interpreted as one character, some as the other, and some could even work as both voices at once. The artist can approach it as one rapper playing both characters, two different voices, layered vocals, or whatever interpretation fits the track.

Think of the kind of character-driven clash you can get from artists like Eminem or Ren, where one song can feel like two different voices interacting.

The lyric itself is finished. I’m looking for someone who can actually take something like this and turn it into a complete song rather than just discuss the lyrics as they are.

The lyric is available under a written agreement, with the commercial and writer-credit terms established between both parties.

For now, I can provide a preview of one of my other writing projects so you can get an idea of my writing style and quality. The preview is not the lyric being offered here.

I’d also like to know:

How quickly could you realistically turn a finished lyric like this into a recorded track?

If you have the chops to do this with counter tempo flow and rapid fire bursts, hit me up.

Hi I am a young teen who knows how to rap and is looking for someone to give me a chance I do Louisiana type beats and trap I will always credit just need it free and we can grow together if I go big I just want to be an underground artist who people listen to please hit me up if you’re interested

When recording vocals, I'd prefer to hold the mic rather than have it stationary with a pop filter. Obviously the major downside is that plosives max out the dynamic range more easily. I am familiar with effects which reduce this effect, but am wondering about "f" sounds... I'm pretty sure "s" sounds would be saved by the pop filter as well... and those may be easier to manage. But - if one insists on recording without a pop filter, what is done about the "f" sounds maxing out the audio input?

If you know any good ways to get more reach for my music please let me know. Thank you.

I'm a producer with some experience who doesn't have many rapper friends fully committed to music, so I'm looking for rappers — preferably Hispanic/Latino — to collaborate with. I make boom bap, but lately I've been getting into cloud rap and dark plugg.
