Just saying if I made an album called “dusty records” and it’s full of soul samples and boombap produced. Why can’t I just have the mixing match the vibe am creating? Can’t call an album or song “old cassette tapes” if everything is so clean and clear. Because old 90s especially underground rap wasn’t clean like that listen to mf doom operation dooms day or some of blu albums. How can people say “that’s not industry” yet, let Kanye do it? Listen to Gorgeous. Listen to how raw that shit sounds and people still fuck with it listen to look at me with xxxtention. You can say “well you have to stand out” ok so rapping over jazz beats with clean a mix and steady flow is standing out? Because it’s not. Nothing wrong with unless you try new things IE take misses to break trends that some fans swear they want artists to do
