Like no doubt, that's just the genre pushing forward

deadacctbh i feel like the main motivator is production costs
why pay for producers and writers and studio musicians and whole string sections and s*** when u can whip up a spacey trap beat for free and the kids will eat that s*** up
I mean there are good "spacey trap" beats lets not get close minded
Production cost, yeah, but artist NOW have way more say in that
Its optional tbh to go big, but that s*** got corny you gotta recontextualize the genre THE WEEKND
strings and double tracked vocals s*** was mandated back then- May 15, 2020CARMEN

People only talk about Timbaland and Pharrell cause thats all they know

Disagree so much about who was pushing the genre forward for me these were the guys doing it
1. Polow Da Don (crazy hitting drums and synths)
2. Eric Hudson (Flashing Lights etc.)
3. Timbaland (Obvious)
4. Neptunes & Pharrell Solo
5. Ryan Leslie (no ones has made music like him)
6. Tim & Bob (who the f*** has drums like them, or Asian samples)
7. Pop & Oak (so much f***ing versatility)
8. Carlos McKinney
9. The-Dream with Tricky Stewart
10. Danja (lowkey the goat of the 00s)
11. S O U N D Z (wow what else to say a legend)
12. StarGate (say what you want they had versatility and class)
13. Dre & Vidal (brought that warm sound into contemporary R&B)
14. Jim Jonsin (synths went HAM)nah Timbo and the Neptunes stand out the most from their contemporaries
they changed the sonic landscape bro
The Dream added atmosphere to the genre
these other guys r flashes in the panThose three are twice as influential, I haven't seen a polow da don production credit in years, timbo, pharell and chad, and the dream still active today. Their influence has carried over to the next gen so much they still working with artists pushing the s***

strings and double tracked vocals s*** was mandated back thenyea i agree w what ur saying i feel like its more so a issue with the industry as a whole
its just harder to match the pop sensibilities of spacey trap beats with the harder to produce compositions @zenereura is talking about

No, you really don't know how much time I put into looking into the credits of the producers
I wrote the credits in iTunes to every single song I have and made playlists for every producer, had over 200 playlists.
Timbaland and Pharrell get all the credit because the media hyped them, that's not what the music tells us at all.
Polow da Don was just as influential and made amazing music

all the producers u mentioned came after pharell and timbo bro, or were heavily inspired by them, they just shaped those sounds into their own things which was cool for a brief stint

no nigga, you don't know
May 15, 2020when bugatti biebs came out with an entire R&B album that didn't get the recognition it deserved
It dropped in 2013 but it was clear at that time (even before the trap soul wave) that R&B genre was dead in the mainstream. The question now is in what direction will R&B go once the trapsoul s*** dies out or will it become a dead genre.

lmfao no, you literally have no clue, I have talked to Polow directly before, these niggas were not looking to Pharrell or Timbaland, you have no clue.
Timbaland took his sound from Danja too in the 00s, you wouldn't even know where to begin nigga.
