Metro Boomin Unleashes Critique on Hip Hop Trends: Are Rappers Killing the Game?

Renowned producer Metro Boomin recently shook up the rap scene, pinpointing a concerning trend tarnishing hip hop. While Bow Wow and Offset criticize the state of music, Boomin takes it a step further, pointing fingers at a specific issue.

Metro Boomin Unleashes Critique on Hip Hop Trends: Are Rappers Killing the Game?

According to Boomin, it’s not just bad songs but the sudden, unannounced release of material that’s undermining the genre. He directly references Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album, marking the beginning of this trend.

In a recent tweet, Boomin expressed his intention to return to regular YouTube uploads, emphasizing his aversion to the overused term “content.” Canadian rapper Nav applauded the move, deeming it a departure from the prevalent mysterious artist persona.

Boomin condemns the façade of mystery, stating it’s “ruining the game.” Is this a sign of artists trying too hard to be cool? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Follow us for more insights into the ever-evolving world of hip hop and urban culture.

Metro Boomin Shares OG Version of Drake and 21 Savage’s ‘Knife Talk’

 

The original version of the song “Knife Talk,” co-written by Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, that was later acquired by Drake has been made available.

 

On Tuesday, January 3, Young Metro shared a link to the original file on Twitter, which just includes the Project Pat sample and 21 Savage. The Blood Gang commander, who issues a string of growling threats and villainous boasts, delivers a lengthy second verse in the original version.

 

“You sneak dissin, you gon get some teeth missing, you weak bitches, we raw strip and kill snitches, your bitch digging, she is digging all this damn drip and I’m chef sinkin, I pink slip, the ink different,” he raps.

 

The manacing track, which was originally titled “Gang Shit,” was supposed to appear on Metro and 21’s 2020 collaborative album Savage Mode 11.

In September 2021, only two days before Certified Lover Boy’s arrival, Drake received “Gang crap” and used it to transform the Metro Boomin beat into what is now known as “Knife Talk,” as 21 Savage stated on DJ Akademiks‘ “Off the Record” podcast.

 

Still on the news  about Drake 

 

Project pat’s feature came by way of vocal sample lifted from Juicy J’s 2017 track “Feed the Streets” featuring the Memphis rap pioneer as well as Asap Rocky.

“Knife Talk” would go on reach No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped power Certified Lover Boy to a record breaking debut on Spotify and Apple music.

With 613,000 album equivalent sales in its first week, the album also topped the Billboard 200.

 

Moreover, all 15 of the album’s tracks reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with two of them reaching the top 10. “Creeping,” featuring “The Weeknd (No. 5),” “The Future,” and “Chris Brown,” helped Superhero (Heroes and Villians on No.8).

 

While Drake was absent from Heroes and Villians, a leaked version of “Trance” with Travis Scott and the recently imprisoned Young Thug featured a verse from 6 God.

The Hero Is Metro On The Album, Say One Reveiwer Of Metro Boomin's New Album "Heroes & Villians"

The Hero Is Metro On The Album, Say One Reveiwer Of Metro Boomin’s New Album “Heroes & Villians”

The Hero Is Metro On The Album, Say One Reveiwer Of Metro Boomin’s New Album “Heroes & Villians”

A variety of musical guests, including 21 Savage, Future, Travis Scott & others.

It wasn’t expected that Metro Boomin, one of the most exciting producers in the Hip Hop scene, would release his sophomore album “Heroes & Villians” as well as he did.

Metro Boomin had a challenging year. After his mother was Murdered, he lamented saying “crying everyday is the new normal” on social media. It would have been understandable, if not expected, for Metro to express his sorrow for a moment.

Metro on the other hand, appears to have poured much more on his new enthusiasm into his genre: a superb IP rollout, combined with practically every significant figure in hip-hop music, sees Metro deliver one of this year’s best rap albums. Metro Boomin developed an orchestral, trap-influenced style that took his songs into darker territory.

As a producer, Metro unquestionably depends on his contracts and the artists he can secure for his record. Therefore, it is fortunate for him because he clearly knows everyone in the hip-hop scene.

The album’s opening track, “On Time,” establishes the mood for Heroes & Villians. It shifts from John Legend’s gospel reciting to a segment with lots of drums prior to actually concluding with narrators from ASAP Rocky and Morgan free man, hinting at the clash of art forms and painters that can be heard all through the album. Metro Boomin pairs Future up in “Superhero (Heroes & Villians)” with a percussion rhythm that sees like it was created by the orchestra of diablo.

Metro Boomin's Mother Reportedly Killed By Her Husband After She Was Fatally Shot

Metro Boomin’s Mother Reportedly Killed By Her Husband After She Was Fatally Shot

Metro Boomin’s mother, Leslie Wayne,died recently. According to TMZ, her husband shot and killed her before turning the pistol on himself on Friday (June 3).

Wayne’s body was outside of Atlanta as seen by law authorities. The formal cause of death will be determined by an autopsy. There are little specifics about the shooting, but condolences for the longstanding producer and his family already flooded social media.

Metro Boomin recalls his mother driving him 17 hours from their home in St. Louis to Atlanta to meet OJ Da Juiceman, who helped him flourish as a producer, in a 2016 profile for The FADER.

Metro’s ongoing work as a producer was predicated on him maintaining his grades, so mother and son would continue to make the 17-hour travels practically every weekend. The strategy paid off, allowing him to not only attend Morehouse College for a semester, but also to build on the success of smash singles like Future’s “Karate Chop” and his collaborations with Gucci Mane.

During this tragic time, Metro’s family and his family have asked for privacy.
