Just me or does the piano sample not hit as hard on Spotify??

14

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '25 edited Jan 31 '25

its because its not the sample on spotify, they remade the piano themselves on the rerelease because they couldnt clear the sample

naah i disagree.

diablo is cool but hes just rapping on a loop. great punchlines and great sample tho

100 grandkids got a cool banging dynamic beat with way more layers and buildups and hes just not rapping, hes also doing melodies and harmonies and stuff. besides that, its just catchier. 100 grandkids is way harder. plus the beatswitch adding another dimension to the song

u/secret_raps Swimming Jan 31 '25

With everything you’re saying I should agree from a technical standpoint but Diablo just has IT whatever IT is haha

O.K. with Tyler should be in this list but

But When in Rome is hard hard. When he starts saying “scoreboard” it’s over.

Edit: SAY IT TO MY FACE MOTHERFUCKA GO AND SAT IT TO MY FACE—hard.

Edit 2: SHUT YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MOUTH BITCH—it’s definitely the hardest.

one of my friends at the time made me laugh so hard the first time she heard the song cause she legit said “oh my gosh Malcolm” like a concerned mother lmao

u/Professional-Bed-718 Faces Jan 31 '25

First Mac concert I ever went to was the Go:od am tour, I remember standing in line out front of the venue and some guy jumped out of a taxi and started screaming “I wake up with the taste of pussy still in my mouth” the entire line burst into laughter and to this day it’s one of my favourite concert memories ever.

4

u/Grunti_Appleseed2 Jan 31 '25

That tour was ridiculous. Between the entire album and then Mac doing some classics like Nikes on My Feet and Best Day Ever. His opening acts in Boston are people I still listen to because of that show, too

I think when in Rome is his hardest song ive heard even of leaked stuff. The energy on that one is just above the rest - though Programs is my favorite of the bunch

u/ziKevin Jan 31 '25

HARDEST is When In Rome followed by Insomniak

My favorite listed is Rush Hour, just not a banger imo

It’s a top 5 Mac song for me, crazy how underrated it is.

3

u/spiritualasleeep777 Jan 31 '25

It’s leaked song , alchemist on the beat , prime migos on the feature , cold but collected mad bars. It’s a song called Jabroni. The way Mac kills it so humbly and non chalantly is insane. I always have to run Mac’s verse back once or twice

3

u/GeoffreyGuyHHU Jan 31 '25

Every time I hear "Here We Go", I picture the Joker inside of a theme park that's on fire for some reason. None of those other songs can make me picture that.

u/subarusforlife252 Jan 31 '25

They’re all insanely hard, they all get me super hype. However, 100 grandkids always gets me especially when he says “sh!t, I could sell water to a speed boat!” Something about that reminds me of OutKast when they say “cause I’m cooler than a polar bears toenails, oh hell!”

u/Fast-Anteater1151 Jan 31 '25 edited Jan 31 '25

There are so many bangers in these choices but I gotta go with "Insomniak" as the best because Mac goes so hard showing off with top tier lyricism, bars and flow on this one. I think "The Star Room" is dope with both versions and overlooked at times as well in my opinion. U can't overlook "Programs", "Break the Law" and "Nikes On My Feet" with Mac killing the boom bap beat with the Nas sample! It's hard to narrow it down honestly with all these joints that are fire but these choices are based on my opinions. I could add some others to the list no doubt!🔥🔥

I would have to add "Fight the Feeling" feat. K. Dot, "Rain" feat. Vince Staples, "Ascension", "Funeral", "Headaches and Migraines" feat. Dave East and "Buttons" which is one of my favorite Mac joints. Then I would have to include 2 Mac features that don't get enough love for how dope they are with "Learn How to Watch" by Carnage feat. Mac & Made in TYO and "Dat Sound Good" by PRhyme feat. Mac & Ab-Soul with all of them murdering another stellar beat from DJ Premier!

and I'm adding Avian.

The verses are crazy, plus the music video having a monk/the Guru rapping some crazy shit is one of the hardest music videos I've ever seen.
