what are some classic pre-Migos-era* triplet-heavy rap verses over non-triplet beats?

*(and pre-Keef)

1. Diamond's verse on "Knuck If You Buck"

That’s not what David was talking about wrt hemiola, but good thread idea

2. Chuck D's second verse on "Bring The Noise" (h/t and what for reminding me)

This is not what hemiola is

yes but it was too tantalizing not to call the thread this

Iirc our conclusion was an example of hemiola was that part of originator 99 when jaz goes “The O-RI-GI-NA-TOR”

if ppl are concerned about misdirection maybe a mod can change the name to "classic rap triplets" or whatever

What’s the purpose of a thread built on a corny vox video anyway, as al tweeted recently the migos flow has already been relitigated more than the 2016 election

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The migos are boring and their album sucks they don’t need more threads

I regret titling this thread "post your favorite Migos tracks itt, this is a thread about Migos and why Migos are good"

vicious almond beliefs (crüt), Thursday, 8 February 2018 02:21 (seven years ago)

I mean... the purpose of this thread was to troll me so...

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 8 February 2018 02:24 (seven years ago)

naw man. i'm sorry. :(

vicious almond beliefs (crüt), Thursday, 8 February 2018 02:29 (seven years ago)

maybe a mod can change the name

NOOOOOOO

I think about Jaz-O's verse on The Originators 99 all the time, it's a masterpiece

three weeks pass...

Jay Z is hemiolaing all over the new Khaled single. The king of jacking styles knows what's going on. Score another point for D-40.

yeah he's def hemiosomthing on that shit

that song is a godawful mess
like khaled makes these mutated abominations that have no reason to exist other than to say "the jay z, future and beyonce brands are on this song"

future sounds like a mockery of himself
jay is just....god knows
beyonce is kinda okay when she raps but what the hell is that acapella thing she comes in on?

cue new york rap radio ppl saying OMG JAY Z WITH ANOTHER CLASSIC twitter

Jordan how would you describe the rhythm of this cadence? Where he puts the emphasis in certain parts of the bar?
