Foodman is awesome. I've met him during my stay in Japan. Definitely has a new album on the way.

Don't know if you've all seen this before - it's from 2013, 75k views on Youtube etc., but I keep coming back to it. The guy who comes in at 15:50 is just complete brilliance.

For those compiling your year-end lists, this playlist includes all the available tracks on this thread, organized roughly chronologically in order of mention... also a good time to look back on this thread cause there's some bangers!

new DJ Taye is really good! Vocals and hip hop influence bring a lot of variation to the sound, and Taye's productions are on point
― Dominique, Monday, 5 March 2018 19:13 (six years ago) link
excited to check it
i was surprised that i wasn't much into the dj earl album because in general i really like his production and dj'ing (particularly the jungle / dnb influence he brings)
― the late great, Monday, 5 March 2018 19:17 (six years ago) link
also got quickly bored of the dj manny
hate to say it but i feel like footwork really peaked about 4 years ago
i'm still listening to footwork buuuuuut aside from jlin not much i think that reaches the heights of "double cup" or "legacy"

wasn't the thing w/ Nate that he drifted away from footwork really soon after the first collection came out and started doing relatively straight rap productions instead?

He invented Bop!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP7DvWrOWoc
― Frederik B, Monday, 5 March 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link
Yeah, he was doing auto-tune singing and it was still kinda crazy but a world away from the footwork stuff.
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 5 March 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
chief keef invented bop tbf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5lRW_eS8KI
but yeah dj nate was early on that wave

fwiw i think jana rush dropped one of the best footwork release oat last year.
― ANU (sisilafami), Monday, 5 March 2018 23:39 (six years ago) link
tbf Gucci Goggles came out before Ballin. But I don't know who invented what, all I know is that I kinda miss the sound :( Super Saiyan vol 1 is one of the underrated mixtapes of the decade.

not according to the time stamps on these videos. and sicko mobb / every bop artist will tell you they were inspired to start rapping by keef, 'ballin' was the biggest keef song on the west side

It feels really awkward for me arguing this with a chicagoan, and my comment that dj nate invented bop was meant tongue in cheek, but the flexx washington mixtape came out in august, and ballin came out in september, no?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 11:15 (six years ago) link
the date on the 'ballin' youtube i posted was may. it was getting played out all summer
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 12:03 (six years ago) link
i just think it’s funny that you popped into a footwork thread to street team for chief keef

It’s like a metaphor for what happened to footwork irl
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link
how so
― the late great, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
artists like say dj nate stopped making footwork to make keef type records
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 22:34 (six years ago) link
most hip hop producers i talk to in chicago had a point where they were making juke & footwork stuff tbh
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 22:35 (six years ago) link
i see
― the late great, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 22:43 (six years ago) link
nobody listens to techno :(
I'm sure most rap producers in Chicago have dabbled in footwork/juke, but out of the ones that really made their name on it, I can't think of any others (besides DJ Nate) who abandoned it?
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 23:00 (six years ago) link
not the same thing at all but i heard taye raps on his new one?

some of them used to do it primarily but i'm sure veering to rap was specifically bc they hadn't made their names as dance producers
im not saying the culture is gone at all, i know ppl who still do it, just that the rap gold rush def shifted some of the zeitgeist away for awhile
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 23:47 (six years ago) link
That makes sense.
Re: the DJ Taye record, all the DJ Paypal collabs are the highlights imo.

Recently thought of it when hearing this Scratch DVA track (takes the same rhythm and slows it down 30bpm, I'm sure it's referencing this music)https://scratchadva.bandcamp.com/track/square-off

1) DJ Nate returns to footwork!https://hyponik.com/news/planet-mu-welcomes-back-dj-nate-for-new-album-take-off-mode/
2) His rise was slowed after he was paralysed from the neck down two years ago...
!
3) ...an accident which he’s recently recovered from.
