There's a fascination with higher Dbs period and making things louder

I never heard a song and said " this bass is ruining it"

base is cool if it's not over the top, my friend broke the sunroof in his car from too much base, I was riding with him one time and it felt like bruce lee was kicking the back of my seat, that aint what music is about.

Just turn your hearing aids down
bass headphones is why I don't even need my hearing aid no more, the bass has gotten good to the point where I can identify some songs off the bass or bassline alone. The problem right now is that some folks use the same repetitive bass knocks and counts...they have to switch it up with different bass and bass line rhythms.

I have.
A lot of the music out nowadays has too much bass and not enough lyrical content. Or no lyrical content at all. Its like they're using bass as a crutch because they can't rap.
All the beats sound the same to me.

The problem with Hip Hop today is there is no soul in the music.

^^^ Thats what I'm trying to say.
Its all bass and no soul. -
Them 7's be doin' too much. Had to swap them out for some 6's. -
Bass is only one component of music..eye enjoy bass but alot of this new hip hop music is very repetitive with the 808 sound,especially trap inspired rap...These ? need to experiment with the sounds aleast..He aint super lyrical but eye can appreciate what Travis Scott is doing production wise..Rodeo doesn't sound like your typical run of the mill trap album

There can never be too much bass.

We agree again. Its all ? music. Theres a time and a place for that but gotdamn. -
Rap w/ heavy bass is made for the clubs, smokin, and riding around the city. If you aint in a "turn up" mood, then just don't listen to that ? .
-
I agree. Then again when its not really about listening to lyrics then it doesnt matter. Most of these cats turn the bass up so loud you cant hear ? else and for some reason thats they like.
I am a person in it for the overall package but no way am i listening to superbass heavy trash rap.
Yall know what they say about the dumb and the drum.
lol i knew this was coming, they have nothing to do with each other tho. a pseudo intellect rap line. -
overbearing bass does nothing for u if u wanna hear just str8 lyrical content, but i mean u can always turn the bass down in ur system. it does enhance it for those who are tryna listen to and feel it MUSICALLY at times. ? sometimes want the right lyrics over a boomin instrumental and its not always gonna be the best lyrically, doesnt mean its not a good song. time and place for everything. ill never understand folks who downplay the importance of BEATS in hip hop MUSIC.

That's crazy because I was just kinda talking about this. I was at a reggae show last night (Damian and Stephen Marley) and the girl I was with said reggae is her favorite music to see live because you can feel it resonate. I said "you could feel it if you were deaf."
Like 'Welcome to Jamrock' live, i mean I can hear... but I swear you could just feel that bass rock the place. -
and this ain't regional btw. I'm east coast born and raised but I need heavy bass in my life
-
You just ? on the song by Big Krit, who is by far one of the most soulful rappers we have at this point. Bass is not the problem with the current landscape of the genre.
I told you about that east coast bubble that you've willingly trapped yourself inside of.
Take yo Madd Rapper ass on somewhere, bruh. Go do some blow and get some ? til yo old ass keels over from a heart attack.
And stop making stupid ? threads with your bias bifocals, grandpa. Smh -

this is the gospel. I love ignorant ? as much as the next man but you got rappers putting project after project of the same ? . And its mostly the ones that leave you saying "but it knock though".
Bass aint killing hip hop but a lot of this stuff is highly repetitive especially the production.
A lot of people don't even have they system sounding right anyway. The bass be all the way up, no treble, voices be distorted and muffled. -
Remember on hard knock life when jay was like take the bass line out ? And I don't think bass in the music is that bad even tho it is overused and allowed horrible aongs like "I'm in love wit coco" to blow up. It seems northern beat makers know exactly how to use the bass like on "hot ? " jahlil beats knew used the bass so it can enhance the beat. The bass should not be the beat.
I'm like 18,19 when jeezy dropped that "hypnotized" joint. Had two sluttys wit me, passed the one with the lisp to my man. He thought he was stuntin n turned the volume up on his ? ass stereo.... The system was so bad, all you heard was the steering column and the backseat rattling . It was so bad the freak wouldn't ? him.
Most ? in the south play their music like that. That is a problem on so many levels. ? up north have clean crisp factory system where you can appreciate every part of the beat. -
lmaooooooooo
