I never thought twice before about where Lil Pump gets his inspiration from, but now I can really hear the stylistic similarities between them.
He is in fact only 17, which means he has been growing up on Waka’s style of rap. Lil Pump seems to be more of a mumble rapper, but now I do hear their similar beat progression on the chorus and the build up on tracks.
Check out the similarities here:
What do you think? Do you think Lil Pump has stolen what Waka Flocka created? Or is this just a common trend in rap that has been re-created for decades? Lil Pump’s mask as a mumble rapper might hide the fact that he is stealing a lot of Waka Flocka’s image. I might think that Waka is just a tad bit jealous of the fame that Lil Pump has received since he is so young. You might need to smoke a joint Waka, but Lil Pump should back down. I would not expect Lil Pump to send a shot back due to Waka’s prestige in the rap industry.
Overall, this is no way to treat your future president Lil Pump:
Electronic rock has an interesting sound that focuses more on the beats rather than the lyrics. Although there are little to no lyrics, one can still feel the emotions the band is trying to convey. The beat moves through your body, making it great to dance to and lose yourself to. One can create their own meaning in the song, which makes it an extremely interesting genre.
Some people would say that it isn’t music, but I guess everyone has their own definition of what qualifies as music. Dubstep made a huge name for itself in the 2000s and dubstep a subgenre of electronic dance music. So basically electronic rock is dubstep with punk elements incorporated throughout. I think bands like The XX, XXYYXX and Crystal Castles do a great job of redefining the genre to make it modern. Give it a listen, you might just fall in love with it.
Here are my top electronic rock tracks:
And finally, “Intro” by the XX. I have never found a song quite like this. It makes perfect background music for any occasion:
We are seeing him on the path to complete stardom, which is to be expected. But before he could have his moment, his father had to humble him down. To celebrate Will Smith just put out a parody of his music video “Icon.” No matter how old he gets, Will never misses the chance to embarrass him, and we are thanking him for.
Memphis rapper Blac Youngsta delivered the official music video for “Booty.” In the video Blac shrinks himself, yet he manages to pop up at the strip club and have a good time.
Team ONLY up next son! Who wanna bet? S.K.Y. unleashed another exciting freestyle lastnight and this time he’s celebrating Philadelphia’s new Super Bowl Champions. What’s dope is that S.K.Y. spit over his uncle, Mr. Reeze’s hit song “Put Ya Hands Up” featuring Jeff Lake from back in the day.
This is definitely a different sound from him, and even though I don’t rep the Eagles- I dig it. Check out S.K.Y. on Instagram (@Onlysuave) and tune into his Soundcloud to hear some of that other real sh*t he got. Keep an eye out for the young soulful rapper, he’s got some serious hits just chilling in his vault.
Florida rapper Kodak Black just dropped “Erykah Badu“, another new freestyle. Once I heard the beat drop, to “On & On” and I instantly knew he was gonna rip this. But, after listening throughout the whole thing I honestly expected it to be a lot better… Something along the lines of the Game and Kendrick Lamar’s version “On Me” . This guy is wreck less, but he’s got some bangers.
