    You were comparing artistry, and you used "n----s in paris" as an example
    Yes, there is more of an human element involved than someone mixing machine made sounds. down to the very imperfections of the person playing the instrrument

    Loooool you know the strings, brasses and bells used in modern music are in the most of the cases also made on the computer right? Or sometimes they're samples but still not live instrumentalists

    I can make a beat with cello and piano I recorded myself, it won't be greater than n----s in Paris or skyfall or even the other beats I made with artificial sounds

    First of i mean in general, you are probably just s--- with a cello and piano.
    Second, you were talking about artistry specifically. Art involves human expression. The less human expression, the less artistry
    So something mechanical , automatic and perfectly self repeating is inherently less artistic than something recorded by actual people playing instruments, especially when the people are mixing pre-made sounds. Without creating little if any of those sounds themselves.
    Even less so when specifically following a trend of sounds, like n-----'s from paris.

    The fact that wheezy produced up one already establishes him as one of the goats. That song speaks directly to my soul :mjcry:

    Lol, shut up dumb boi
    There can be human expression in mixing a sound, and you can play a suite of Bach without any "human expression", I assure you, I already did


    If to me, a beat made with more synthetic sounds is more like what I want to express than a beat with samples of me playing the cello then the electronic beats will be more of "art"

    you playing the cello and piano would sound like s---
    if there was any artistry in you playing, and if the song you sung followed up the artistry, then it would be by default more artistic than the mixing you some techno sounds. Because it would sound more organic. but fine, this time ill actually TELL you that im dne talking to you, instead of leaving you to figure it out

    b---- you don't know anything about how I play the cello and you clearly never did sound design, never made a beat, or never practiced a instrument

    I got what you mean tho but it would make the track more soulful, if anything. Not more artistic

    I don't believe every opinion stated about music needs to be qualified with "BUUT ISS ONLY MY BELIEF", you should be able to read that yourself. but i really do believe he is man. i'm not gonna pretend like i have on objective metric for talent but he's young and has progressed so much in such little time. his production on barter 6 is absolutely not lackluster lol I dont know why you think that. we'll be able to have a more substantive conversation about this in maybe a year when wheezy has had a chance to mold HiTunes /maybe ICN4/produces more for other artists, but when it comes to thug, i have to say i prefer the beats that wheezy provides. his body of work is definitely nowhere near those other names but i never said it was.

    Lol why the f--- would i do sound design :bookah:, im busy doing far superior subjects.
    As for the other 2, No, too many people in my family doing that, and yes, congo's, and the different varieties of hand beaten drums

    Yeah okay you pretty much do nothing involved with music but some hand beaten drums lol I don't think you're in the position to criticize my cello playing, especially since you never heard it lol

    And you clearly know nothing about music, since you don't know what a sample is, and you don't know that most classical instrument sounds in modern music are also artificial sounds or samples, but not live instruments


    And I repeat, the whole "human" factor can add soul to music, it won't make the artistry better

    "Actually wheezy is more talented than those guys" really sounds like you pretend it's true you know
