This is just plain awesome...some serious talent here!

[_paralyzed_]

I played drums from 10-22. This guy does have some serious talent. I just fear all he knows is rap and one beat and he will be a "one trick pony".

What am I saying? This is the next Kanye

But what does she have to do with this thread, about a kid with some serious talent? Am I missing something here?

Like I said, he has 30-40 YouTube videos, all of them with different beats...and he may "know" more than rap, but I am sure all he "wants to do" is rap...that's what rappers do, they rap.

B Like I said, he has 30-40 YouTube videos, all of them with different beats...and he may "know" more than rap, but I am sure all he "wants to do" is rap...that's what rappers do, they rap.

A- Dwight mentioned this kid was already being looked at by 4 or 5 producers. Lutach mentioned he had a talented cousin with ties to Russell Simmons, and that if he could he would mention this kid to her.

B - I watched like 10 seconds of two other videos. Yes they are technically different beats. The notes are arranged differently, but it is clearly the same style and really doesn't deviate that far from any rap beat. I said what I said because what I consider to be a good musician has a love of all kinds of music, and has been exposed to different music styles throughout their life. If all you know and live is rap, than that is all you can possibly do. I just like to see a more well rounded musician, and am disgusted by todays music.

It's all electronic beat, autotune, hook. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Even his rap could be better if he had a wide base of musical knowledge to draw from. If you didn't know, rappers rap. It's what they do. I'm still afeared this cat is a one trick pony
