Let's get something clear; Hit Boy is NOT being salty about Roddy Rich and Kendrick. He just feels they could make more bangers together. I understand where he's coming from.
@@mr.bellefleur Because it’s not that serious he’s just getting shit off his chest, if it was some street or beef shit for example that’s when calls should be made.
A lot of times artists make a hit and feel like they did it on their own. Not realizing it was the formula and they were just a piece of the entire puzzle that created the masterpiece
just look at roddy now, his new music doesn't even come close, not even close to what he managed to put together on his first album / the mixtapes that came before that. Boy need to get rid of the yes men and go back to whatever zone / flow he was in during that time cause he was making music that made me think he was the next goat. His new shit is watered down and frankly trash in comparison.
I appreciate him being honest about his frustration. To me it shows he's a real human and not some emotionless celeb. Plus what he's saying is true lol
Kendrick I can somewhat understand cuz Kendrick is always taking wild turns but theres really no excuse for Roddy Rich cuz he creatively he needed a spark after the first album
I used to watch hit boy back in like 2011-12 on TH-cam making beats for artists and grinding my whole life was raw AF , this dude been a great producer they tripped out
As a beat maker this is one of those dudes that make you say WTF just happened !!! I haven't spoken this highly of a producer/ beat maker since Dilla. Legend
That Hunnit A Show beat is crazy! One of my fav Nip songs. I feel like HitBoy was really about to take Nip to another level. Nipsey was clearly in a zone from No Pressure into VL (even tho VL had songs that had been around for yrs) but HitBoy was gonna help him really figure out how to make his style and content more mainstream imo.
I love that Hit Boy’s attitude is still that of a hungry producer that still has something to prove. He’s already done some legendary stuff over the last decade but bro finna continue to be around for a loooong time moving like he is.
because if you couldnt already tell, Roddy Rich has a terrible ear for beats. beats he choose be trash af thats why he fell off so hard. and Racks In The Middle is a FIRE beat. Roddy allergic to those
I think once something is successful you should continue that success by repeating what you did. You've created a formula now just repeat it don't try to reinvent the wheel! Nas is smart, he saw the reception he was getting by being produced by Hitboy and saw the sales, and continued with Hitboy. If it aint broke don't try to fix it.
I would put Metro ahead of because of his diversity but don't sleep on Sound wave either he just need to do more outside of Kendrick for people to talk about him
@hitboy I understand what you saying! You pretty much can see the vision, but its hard to get people on the same page. Thats when its time to tap in with people who do! No thirsty shit, Ill get the track whenever! You and Nas are a great example of what egos getting put aside, and great music being made looks like. Stay Smashin!
@@flyghtmyleage6041 I mean I would say he’s down with the major artist and has bigger opportunities with artist like Kanye and the good music team who signed him a while back and that’s actually Midwest
I’m curious what hitboy could be doing. Cause this is a trend with him for a lot of artist. So at some point when is he the common denominator we looking at.
Because Roddy has bad beat selection, mainly cause he tryna sound & rap like future now which has made his music wack. Needs to be himself cause that’s what put him on
People say roddy fell off he really didn’t , his first album was just so good and such a classic it’s hard to top sometimes a lot of artists go through it.
Roddy has changed his style, and not for the better. He popped off with FTS2 where he harmonised and used a lot of melodies in his music which really set him apart from everyone else. In his new music he doesn’t showcase his vocal abilities as much anymore, so the music just doesn’t hit the same. He needs to get back to what we know him for. FTS3 had some moments which was cool, but it’s not even in the same league as his previous works.
He used to be the perfect hybrid of Thug and Future, now you can hear the Future influence is more prevalent when listening to the flows and cadences. It's hints of melodies similar to Thug how he uses his voice as a instrument but not as strong as before.
@@nov23gbe Couldn’t agree more with your comment to be honest. I really don’t understand why he decided to change up his style so much, because he literally had the winning formula 😅.
All respect to HitBoy! He definitely will go down in the books as one of the best hip hop producers of all time, but I could really see him tapping in to different genres of music. Similar to how Pharrell did it.
Hit Boi right cause the only other song roddy was on was how far I came, off games album. That shit went unnoticed cause people were hating on games album but that song was a fucking smash. They should of pushed that record more.
Roddy prolly mad Hitboy gave the record to Nipsey he was prolly gone try to get it himself… he seems like one of those secretly mad, anti social, non confrontational dudes that be in their feeling for nun but won’t tell you
I think Roddy ain’t run it back with hit boy because he wasent on that collab/Khaled shit that hit boy was tryna do. He just wanted to use hit boy for his beats only. Once hit started talking about his own producing company and being featured on tracks too then roddy was out lol. Smh it’s roddy lost honestly, hit got the formula. I not too late to spin the block unless it’s really some other street/politic shit involved behind the scenes that went down
Nigga sound goofy talkin bout politics, lol swaps are an industry standard had nothing to do with his production company. Roddy whole sound changed on purpose he said that himself. Hitboy just tryna get his bag only reason he talkin like this
Jay Z “N****s In Paris” , K.dot Backseat Freestyle , A$SP Goldie , Drake Trophies, Travis Scott Sicko Mode, Kanye West Clique............... just to name a few and a Reminder of Hit Boy.
There's a video of when Timbaland gave Hov the Dirt off your shoulder beat. It was like he knew that was the one but he played through mediocre beats first to set Hov up for the ONE. Can't give rappers too much at one time
Hit Boy is the most humble, most underrated, most overlooked producer EVER. Niggas in Paris? Backseat Freestyle? XO? ALL 3 KINGS DISEASE ALBUM PLUS MAGIC?!! Nah man
He not wrong nor lying! If you have a formula that’s winning you keep at it. Look at the GSW didn’t switch up a winning team and musically look at Drake and 40 they winning
His tracks wit mustard been nothin but platinum. Ain’t nothin wrong with west coast artist workin together. Needs to happen more like Atlanta. Roddy made bangers way harder than racks in the middle honestly before they ever met. He doesn’t need him like that
So you made a beat just for Roddy then y’all record the record then you give the record to Nip & not only did you give the record to Nip y’all took Roddy verse off .. Sounds to me like Roddy don’t want that to happen again
I ain't kno Roddy rich before racks in the middle. HIT boy would get a pass it's nipsey mf in hussle dawg. The record low key looked like a nip co sign and solidification . Almost as if nip would sign RR, or make mad songs with him. Those were the vibes i got. Didn't RR work with meek mill afterwards too. That's cause of his song with nip. It help put RR on .lets be frfr
Favourite producer right now everything he touches is just banging. Hope he works with Kdot again in future but feel Kdot on some whole other shit sound wise. Hit boy is the realest though he deserves all his success hopefully he works hard enough to get even bigger.
Young Chop need his flowers as well. Chop produced all chief keef and Durk biggest hits at the early stages of there career and they haven’t worked with him since. It sad mf try erase what chop did but he deserves his flowera and respect.
Let's get something clear; Hit Boy is NOT being salty about Roddy Rich and Kendrick. He just feels they could make more bangers together. I understand where he's coming from.
But why make it public call em
@@mr.bellefleur Because it’s not that serious he’s just getting shit off his chest, if it was some street or beef shit for example that’s when calls should be made.
I can see Kendrick not doubling back he stays evolving musically
He is being salty
@@wookiee4145why is he getting off his chest publicly, when he has the resources to reach to these artist

Hit Boy is an all in one producer he can produce anything, they tripping!!!
They not trippin. They still successful
Hit boy has the winning formula such a dynamic producer. Roddy should lock in. That would be a layup for him
I appreciate him being honest about his frustration. To me it shows he's a real human and not some emotionless celeb. Plus what he's saying is true lol
Roddy Rich definitely thought he made the hit song himself 😂😂
Kendrick I can somewhat understand cuz Kendrick is always taking wild turns but theres really no excuse for Roddy Rich cuz he creatively he needed a spark after the first album

This episode hit different hitboy a real one u can tell he’s a solid individual makes some fire ass tracks too no cap
As a beat maker this is one of those dudes that make you say WTF just happened !!! I haven't spoken this highly of a producer/ beat maker since Dilla. Legend

The Woooorst ear for beats
Beats aren’t “bad” they are very very very very generic
Nowadays yeah. It’s like he’s picking mid beats on purpose and sings less
His beat selection was top tier before he The Box shit but after it’s been trash
Especially lately
Roddy should check in. Hit boy really cares bout the talent. That’s the difference.
HITBOY ON THE TRACK. THIS SHIT S’POSED TO SLAP!
Hit-Boy been producing for so long... already a Hip-Hop legend! Great choice for interview Ak!

@Dark Magik yeah 20+ years of success roddy only reaped the benefits of 2 years, hop off his own hype train too fast
out of alot of producers hitboy has been consistant and real through it all, never really making enemies
Cuz both of y’all doing y’all thing‼️he still doing his thing🖤
Can’t wait for this interview! HITBOY on fire
It’s already out
It's out on Spotify already
Seen Kendrick in Amsterdam recently, and he preformed that Backseat Freestyle.
This may go unnoticed One day threw hard work and dedication ! I will make my dreams of being the best rap artist in the world
I got bars😎😎🐐
Bro keep grinding and put out mixtapes that’s what hip hop needs I miss those days 💪🏿
After the 2nd cough 😷 you gotta offer your Guess some water at least . Great interview so far💯
🤣🤣🤣
Hitboy is on his Billy behavior. It’s go time for son. We officially adopted him on the east coast. Bless up king you just getting started.
I luvd hitboy since i hearing his stuff years back
Best producer in the game and it’s been that way for a while
For me it’s Metro. But Hit Boy is definitely top 5 imo.
@@elonjoanwilliams614 facts
He ain’t got shit on metro . Metro beats r unpredictable u can tell a hit boy song when u hear it .
I would put Metro ahead of because of his diversity but don't sleep on Sound wave either he just need to do more outside of Kendrick for people to talk about him
Best hit making producer not the best producer imo
Yo hit boy that dude his beat go crazy
That’s racks in the middle is a SERIOUS BANGER!!!!!
Backstreet freestyle was A Classic shout out Hitboy
Backseat not streets
Him and Nipsey Sound hard as hell together wise word more with each other.
@hitboy I understand what you saying! You pretty much can see the vision, but its hard to get people on the same page. Thats when its time to tap in with people who do! No thirsty shit, Ill get the track whenever! You and Nas are a great example of what egos getting put aside, and great music being made looks like. Stay Smashin!
And btw, yoooo I can't wait to check this one out! Hooooly! Finally a producer on the pod! Gonna soak up so much game!
His second album def proves he’s should have spun the block on Hitboy
Hitboy needs several fields of flowers. Dude is an all time great and isn’t even 40 yet.
He’s should be one of the producers that’s major especially holding it down for the west coast
I feel he do more for east coast
@@flyghtmyleage6041 I mean I would say he’s down with the major artist and has bigger opportunities with artist like Kanye and the good music team who signed him a while back and that’s actually Midwest
Hitboy deserves flowers bro is fucking insane. Absolutely insane
Hit Boy is as good as it gets 🔥🎹💯
I’m curious what hitboy could be doing. Cause this is a trend with him for a lot of artist. So at some point when is he the common denominator we looking at.
I know one thing you n freddie gibbs need to drop that cradle to the grave song. That snippet sounds hard hard hard 🔥🔥🔥
seems like producer are more down to earth than rappers somehow.....knowing all the work they put in the craft
#HitBoy is running his own Marathon 🤙🏾 Hitboy is West Coast is Prince of beats. Producer of the year for 4 straight year and Grammys let's go.💯🐐.
Because Roddy has bad beat selection, mainly cause he tryna sound & rap like future now which has made his music wack. Needs to be himself cause that’s what put him on
Nigga that future sound is what put him on 😂😂😂
Hit boy is one of my favorite artists period
I think it’s Hit himself like he’s a hot producer but it’s his style if you look at it he makes anthem beats in my opinion.
He did great work with nas.
That's how favvio foreign gonna look in 10 years
😂😂
Hell in 3, the nigga almost 40 now
😂
He’s already older than him lol
@@boomboombaby9140 ok but he still need the more years to look like that lmfao
I also peeped how he ain't pull back up on 30 Roc after they made The Box too, which was kinda odd

There’s a lot of rappers with that same melodic style that’s a stretch saying he stands out with that style
He’s signed to a major label that’s why.
Roddy has been garbage since day one
Hit boy one of the hottest producers in the game! Artists should be blowing up his phone FR FR!
Hit boy one of the 🐐s
Hit boy a legend from my era, im suprised he’s back
What is your era?
Big AK doing his thang
Roddy be tryna get that Atlanta trap sound he wanna be from down south so bad
He grew up down south he got southern influences But at the same time you right.
He was born in Compton but grew up in Atlanta that’s where he got his sound and influence from
All respect to HitBoy! He definitely will go down in the books as one of the best hip hop producers of all time, but I could really see him tapping in to different genres of music. Similar to how Pharrell did it.
HB can talk like this because he a production legend. he's far from salty but he know what it takes and had been around greatness.
Artists be VERY ungrateful. Not sayin Roddy is ungrateful but That’s how shit go. Their egos get them feelin like they don’t need anybody
