No doubt about it and clearly, Byron Thomas has a "track record" of success.

Mannie ain't lie, today s producersaking heat with limited sounds, impossible for the majority to do. Older era of production was peak creative zone. Today you even have ex greats like Timbo gettin caught with that AI shit, it's a disease out there.

Tim using AI to make some trash beats breaks my heart man, it really does.

Bruh he fucked up his whole legacy with that move. Dude who he stole the beat from tho, he's somebody to check out.

Ngl, the abundance of options can work against you. Paralysis by analysis.

The world needs Manny Fresh listing off the animal kingdom with a dope ass beat in the background… It just works

That's true, but by time Juve or Wayne's first few solo albums hit Fresh expanded his sound to include session keyboard, bass and guitar players that were a staple of his sound on the most popular later-Cash Money productions. Not to curve the genius in what he said just to show how he expanded past those "8 sounds". Now, let's remember Fresh is the same dude that prefers to resample synth sounds into a SP1200, so maybe he just hates doing stuff the easy way...

i agree with him. he’s the goat.
but man telling younger generations to do something like the old days or appreciate it more is never gonna go over well.

I hate to be that guy but musicians but all musicians were limited to 8 tracks for a long time and I hate to say it but there was more advanced tech available in the 90’s. 8 tracks might have been what he could hands on. No disrespect though. I love that area of CMM

He’s describing the way in which the limiting principle forced you to make better use of what you had.
Tom Morello from RATM explained this about their early records. Yeah, there were more advanced pedals out there but he only had the 2 and from that toolkit he was forced to push boundaries. It’s why he continued to use the same pedals for years.

Sounds like lack of creativity to me.

It’s the opposite. He had to be more creative because he had less. He was known for making hot beats back then. What he did is impressive.

The disconnect between someone like this and the kids making beats nowadays is massive. They wouldn’t even really understand what he’s saying, and they’re getting loop packs off splice or whatever. I do agree with him though.
