what the fuck is this noise???
makes me want to blow my brains out

literally as a 16 year old i could write and rap better than this old man
if you want proof lmk but i'm not going to post links for no reason trying to toot my own horn

anyways, please think before you speak (type)
that guy is a menace (therealzendan) and anyone can easily tell it isn't me if they take more than 2 seconds to analyze

idk what that dude's issue is with me. he must just have a serious crush on me. i don't think i'm hot shit?? i haven't had any decent stats in 3 years. i barely have any followers. i'm a fucking loser, nobody. that guy just has some kind of unhealthy obsession with me. some kind of stalker. i've had a few. probably jerks off while listening to my beats, watching videos of me skate, and looking at my selfies and shit.

-edit-

OOHHH SHITTT no it's not who i thought it was!!!! it's another one of my stalkers/mega-fans

this is some dumb fucking kid on soundcloud that was stealing my beats and posting them as his own. i asked him to take them down, he wouldn't so i got soundcloud to. he got butthurt, found me on here, and tried to ruin my reputation by posing as me. just like he posed as me on soundcloud by stealing my beats.

Zendan I know it's hard to NOT react.... but reacting just shows you're letting 'them' get to you. Which is what 'they' want.

Fuck em

What was the point of starting this thread? FUCK EM

Not trying to tell you what to do. But it's one of the reasons this shit keeps happening. Say something people don't like, then everyone jumps on your dick... you react & it just gets worse & worse.

Make beats, have fun & enjoy life.

So you’re telling me I should mind my own fucking business, stop making drama posts like a tween, and not act like a gatekeeper of hip hop and sound fidelity?

Well shit...

always appreciate your rationality shari

[Sharris]

Get back on those beats boy!!
I get it though, if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it.
Sometimes you need a break.

I like Ill Green's explanation. It certainly feels like the hip hop side of the lofi movement was an offshoot of the vinyl sim button on the 404. To me... this is just a next-generation, counter-culture, DIY application of the genre... I guess it's what is most relevant in the discussion at this point, because that's what the kids are doing with it (lofi music). This anime hip hop stuff doesn't rep the origins of the lofi movement though.

Personally, I don't have any beef with it. Are we (user's of this forum... OG or not) going to claim that we own the usage rights to the SP-404 in all it's iterations? Are we claiming ownership of the use of vinyl pops in music production... or super aggressive compression techniques? Who cares what these kids are calling lofi and doing with their SP's really?

A good aspect of the popularity of this new take on the genre is that the folks at Roland (and other companies) have a reason to spend money developing more cool beat making gear. Why do people get mad at someone wanting to use their SP with a DAW? Granted it is annoying when they pop up on here with the same question about getting their focusrite interface to get their SP playing through Fruity Loops.

Who cares what the other dude is doing with their shit though... again, at least the hardware side of the market is benefiting and staying relevant. I think a big part of the frustration expressed with the lofi hip hop movement comes from how popular it is... and who is to say what guides popular trends ? Complaining about it just puts us on the same side as our grandparents and parents when they got so annoyed with baggy jeans, or music that said the F-word. It's just kids doing kid shit... taking what's out there and repurposing it to make it "cool".

Here are some interesting pages from the interwebs on the subject of lofi music...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo-fi_music

https://valeriacasadoblog.wordpress.com ... res-lo-fi/

i think you missed a lot of what i said

these are kids that don't even know what a sampler is

they're using purely fl studio or ableton, etc. nothing else

using plugins to try to make their beats sound like they sampled vinyl or bounced off tape

calling chillwave lofi because they have no idea what lo-fi actually means

and the kids, the dumb fucking kids, the new generation that think they're fans/consumers of this fake chillwave lofi genre....

they don't even know a single artist

they just listen to it on youtube radio chill lofi 24/7 beats to study to

they're supporting the ripping off of artists, taking careers away from artists, taking everything, even a fanbase, away from artists. ever since that radio station shit got started, the soundcloud scene has died. completely. not just me. i know a multitude of pages with upwards of 5000 followers that get absolutely no plays if they drop anything now.

now that you can get all the chill beats you want easy without looking without paying without even just supporting someone by following them, who the fuck is going to go out of their way?

these kids have ruined music and ruined the genre i used to be proud to be associated with.

it's not about someone using an sp for effects and not composition, i have no issue with that.

"Gatekeeping is when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity."

[zindad]

you're a funny dude.

"Therapy can help manage some of the symptoms and side effects, particularly in milder cases. But it's unusual for a sociopath to seek professional help. “One of the curious things about this disorder is a general lack of insight," explains Dr. Black. "They may recognize that they have problems. They notice that they get into trouble. They may know that their spouses are not happy with them. They know that they get into trouble on the job. But they tend to blame other people, other circumstances,”

ALSO

your beats where never actually innovative, just jacking madlib's vibe and style.

but keep doing you bruh.

dont dish it if you cant take it

Ok so now I realize that you guys are two different people.

Now I consider myself to be at least of average intelligence so why did it take me so long to figure that out? Well...

We have zendan, zendanisdead and therealzendan, which all three come across to me as equally obnoxious.

“Zendan” starts this thread with a screenshot of himself talking shit first, taking someone’s lyrics as a personal attack when the song was made years ago, I didn’t check the date but it was probably before you even showed on the forums.

I met iiiii last month and we hung out. No he is not the type to go around bullying anyone. Promoting violence cmon man.

When your name pops up it’s usually followed by some rant about kids not knowing what real hip hop is, their shit is wack, blah blah blah.

I was taken aback when you said you were rapping better than that when you were 16, because from the content of your ramblings I would probably guess you weren’t a day over 12.

Now I look back at this thread and I almost feel like I’m some kind of asshole coming out of the woodwork and harassing you, so now I finish this thought without being snotty or joking.

If it wasn’t for your approach, and blasting my friends name in the title, stirring up aimless bullshit I wouldn’t even have chimed in.

So I hope you stop getting harassed by whoever is doing it, but more important to me is that you can open your eyes and see why they chose you as the target. It’s not because you’re LGBQ man.

that's not the point dude

he pulled that out of his ass, calling me a "homophobic piece of shit" just to have a comeback because he knew he was in the wrong

do you see any way i was being homophobic? maybe a little shitty but i definitely don't see any way possibly i was acting like a "homophobic piece of shit"

i am zendanisdead and zendan

i forgot my password for zendan but got back into it

therealzendan is this kid http://www.soundcloud.com/solitairems

and it's hilarious he talks so much shit about how i suck at making beats and i'm a loser and this and that

YET YOU ARE THE ONE THAT TRIED TO PASS MY BEATS OFF AS YOUR OWN

anyways i know i'm an asshole. and i love calling people out on bullshit

it's boring being passive all the time

controversy is interesting

it sparks new ideas in boring people

i like to think i give people multiple perspectives to look at an issue

if i have to be the scapegoat and have everyone hate me , so be it

[zindan]

p.s. how's this for not innovative? biting style? want to show me whose style i bit, dipshit?
