Playtime Comments : [Vox] How the triplet flow took over rap

na**************:

the beat analysis at around 4:45 is just wrong. the guy beatboxes two bars in the first example, one bar in the second. if the first example is forcibly interpreted as one bar, that puts the snare on the "ands", which is not hip-hop. the biggie track is not 154 bpm. producers will put the tempo at 154, because that allows the producer to easily program 32nd notes. it gives the producer a higher resolution to work with, but it doesn't change the (77) bpm. this was important with old sequencers. look at an 808, sixteen buttons, representing 16ths. programming a sequencer is not like writing sheet music, nor is it like producing on a modern DAW, where bars can be divided into 64ths or higher, beyond human comprehension. listen to a track that is actually 154 bpm. (unfortunately there are a lot of mislabeled tracks on youtube, making the same mistake as in this video.)

Cu*****:

3:39 = creeper, awwwwwwwwww man

Sa***:

7:07 is it me or do y’all hear a snare instead of hi hats

Ka*********:

0:35 lyrical genius

Ma*******:

0:37 Don't mind me, just placing a replay button.

Ga*********:

1:58 those are quarter notes in 3/4, not triplets

R1********:

6:48 "Triplets were waiting for trap music to come along" lol

So*****:

3:06 that looks so cool oml

Ju************:

2:45 just so everyone knows, their remix of that song with Anthrax off their record Apocalypse 91 is electrifying

Ed**********:

Br***********:

my name is brian triplett and i approve this message.

NY**:

I'm sure Snoop knows what triplets are.
So, in that case, he's probably not missing the point, rather, he's frustrated by the same execution of triplets in modern rap - and he's not the only one.

5s*************:

lord infamous. Tommy wright III. Nuff said

Hi******:

The reason everyone is writing in trips is because it's easy. It's easy to flow and sound good. Eventually it will be played out and people will have to be creative again.

di************:

Thank you Lord Infamous

Rest In peace

Br*********:

don’t act like triplets are “complex”. it’s just a grouping of three notes over one beat

En**:

It's Memphis flow

Di*********:

Triplets can be great, I'm just not tryna hear it in every single song I listen to, mix it in not flood it

St***********:

Hell of an overcomplicated way to talk about half-time

Ju*******:

Not Just Snoop also Eminem, but they don't hate it, they just hate the fact that everyone uses it

Sp******:

I came back to this video to say that woah, I just realized that's exactly what happens in 7 Rings by Ariana Grande. Listen to the final verse y'all!

Pa***********:

snoop definitely doesn't miss the point. too many hip pop artists are doing solely triplet rap. king kunta can just splice it into to his music. that's while he'll last and these triplet rappers will all blend into the triplet phase of hip hop. Great episode. please please please never stop doing what you're doing.

LS*******:

Tbh. Someone who isn't musically aware of stuff like this in rap. That was some huge insight. I liked the video a lot. Thanks for the info

MO****:

Modern commercial hip hop is total garbage. Sometimes when I hear it, I wonder if the "artist" is trying to get away with the last amount of effort possible. The only guy I'm into at all is Chance.

Ju***:

Let's all mumble in triplets over a trap beat then.

SP**********:

it will forever be the Memphis flow perfected by lord infamous R.I.P

Et*********:

I think what sets guys like kendrick and chance apart from migos and future is that they dont rely on the triplet. I listen to a migos song and its like thats the only flow they have. I got goosebumps the first time I heard kendrick switch to triplets on DNA. Its the same way in all music. In the the classical piece moonlight sonata, the beauty lies not only in the use of triplets, but the counter rhythm of the melody as well as the incredible chord progression. When I listen to hip hop radio its like "duh-duh-duh duh-duh-duh-duh (Skrrt)/ duh-duh-duh duh-duh-duh-duh (Brrrrr)" over and over again and its uninteresting and boring as hell.

Fe*******:

Since Versace and Gucci were already used, I’ll use Balenciaga or something.

Ma************:

Do one on Andre 3000s flow. I've been fascinated with why his sound stands out forever

bl***********:

This is what musicians call a triplet. Migo or whoever claims to have invented this actually didn't.

De*******:

Lord Infamous

Fu****:

Now can People stop saying j Cole stole ski mask is flow when This is The flow They both used

Jo************:

LORD INFAMOUS

Fr**************:

I think the real issue here isn't the use of triplets, so much as the subtle wordplay, stunning lyricism, and even social commentary that can be found in powerful lyrics like: "Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace."

ri***********:

how is snoop missing the point? just cause triplets are catchy doesn't mean every rapper coming out has to use the same flow

Ju**********:

Snoop wasn't against the style and flow in triplets he was against how rappers today all sounds the same!

Is*********:

More of these music episodes please

As*********:

Too much of one thing, regardless of how masterful that one thing might be in isolation, is a bad thing. It gets monotonous. Snoop's point was this. Use the triplet tastefully. Don't only use triplets in all your songs. Why Estelle and Mona never brought up this point, I'll never know. Heck, your examples of Kendrick and Chance using it on their songs perfectly explains my point. They use it only in parts, thereby exemplifying the triplets. The triplets don't define those songs at all. You're trying to build a case for the triplet and that's fine. Just don't tell us that the 'musical tool' (by your own admittance) gathers hate when used in limited quantities.

Yes I'm repeating myself but that's because you've been doing the same thing in the entire video.

Yo**:

Snoop explains in a very simple example what is wrong with Trap music. He is not mocking the use of triplets. He is mocking the combination of an overuse of triplets, paired with a lack of variation in musical aesthetic.
Trap music sounds the same because literally EVERYTHING they say is either a triplet or some "rah"/"wooh" etc. They all shoot for exactly the same sound, from flow, tone of voice and lyrical structure all the way to their beat composition. Triplets offer so many possibilities using different accents, or even things like sextuplets (which essentially are 2 triplets subdivided into 3 groups of 2, instead of two groups of 3), but what makes them so amazing is the variation they can offer. That´s exactly what makes biggies flow so incredibly smooth.
Also Trap lyrics are straight up garbage.
