yea wasim had the dope bounce with the 808's in the one battle, i just remember a lack of snare, which could still work with a rapper though
but yea man rappers are hands down the worst human beings alive in my experience
only 1 rapper i've worked with thats never disappointed is luck
in the sense that i have to be selective in what i send him, because he'll rap over whatever i send lol. if that makes sense
where as others can be retardedly picky, but my style also doesn't lend to being easy to write to and rhyme on.
i made most of my connections on these forums throughout the years. i also put out beattapes that got traction, even pirated and re-uploaded but they were kind enough to keep the text file i included with each tape that had my e-mail so i got contacted that way
but yea if you got dope beats, just send them to rappers. rappers love free beats.
if a rapper says they are going to use it, say cool sounds good, and just be prepared to never hear back from them lmao. its kind of like any creative endeavor, you might feel inspired in the moment, but if you put it off you might not hear it the same.
with beatmaking it can be samples. ill hear something like WORD I'MA KILL THIS, but if i don't mess with it immediately and listen to it and mess with it the next day my spark is gone
same with rappers, they might dig a beat, but when they put the proverbial pen to pad it might not work
unless you find a dude like luck. then you just figure out their sound and even though your just sending beats, your sorta PRODUCING because you know how they are gonna approach it
but word, just look for emails and contact them.
let them know you dig their work and attach a beat or two for them to check out and see if they want to collab
you throw enough hooks in the water you'll reel in a fish
