Straight fire.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

yes he is

so FOH with that album of the year shit

he's a biter

that's rule #1 - don't bite

http://howardlloyd.bandcamp.com

Sounds to me like you're still stuck in 2014.

I can see in the beginning that people would compare but if you took your head out your ass for a second and actually listened to the album you'd realize that from a conceptual stand point, writing, production, pretty much everything he's starting to mold into something special.

But hey, do your thing.

soon as I put it on my 12 year old was like "Is this Nas?"

lol

he sounds just like him man

just say you dont mind the biting

http://howardlloyd.bandcamp.com

(or that say Bronson sounds like Ghost).

like, y'all must have real bad ears.

So...

it's not that i don't understand the comparison, but muhfuckas sound like they can't listen to Bronson or Droog cuz they Ursala The Sea Witch'd Ghost and Nas.

i see some stylistic similarities, but cats act like they are singing like Ariel. if you really think that then you really do need to get your ears checked.

and again, i don't e'en love them dudes like that.

It is madness...both Bronson and Droog are skilled...

This dude sounds exactly like Nas

This don't bother you, at all?

With his first project, the Nas comparison was always the elephant in the room. But three years later, he's released a few other projects, made a few guest appearances, released a handful of loosey tracks that have showed his style/lyrics have, at least to my ears, progressed beyond him "sounding like Nas."

He rhymes about different things, rhymes over different beats, and his voice has become distinctive enough that when I hear a new Y.O.D. track, the first things that comes to mind isn't "This guy sound like Nas." They're separate animals in my mind at this point.

Not much more I can say.

Get over that Nas shit already. (No offence to what you wrote/asked but I can't believe people still think about that shit in general)

DON'T be one of these miserable sacks of shit that says
he doesn't sound like Nas, or "that's just the way he
talks."

Just heard his recent stuff: nope. Still sounds like Nas.

But I'll give it a try! I really will!


I'd prefer to give my money and attention to artists who didn't
build their whole gettup on biting, but I'm not a hater and
will try.

Originality is all that we have in this artform, though

>DON'T be one of these miserable sacks of shit that says

No, he definitely sounded like Nas on the first EP. It didn't bother me as much, because I liked the music. Just about all of my favorite MCs came in this game sounding like their influences.

I'll just say don't be one of those guys who listens to an album looking for a reason not to like it. Because if you go into it looking for a reason to hate, there's a very strong chance you'll find one.

He sounds like Nasir Jones.

Action Bronson sounds like Ghostface Killah (even bit the "it's me" thing from "Buck 50).

Anyone denying those comparisons are welcome to do so, but the fact remains that them bammas is some dick eaters.

saying "get your ears checked" or even "well, it's not as bad as it was" (as if that somehow is a pass)

The "well, he doesn't bite as hard as he used to" must be a compliment reserved for white rappers only.

unreal.

This dude sounds like Nas because he TRIES to.

Action sounds like Face because he TRIES to.


In each case, it has even been used as marketing tool for the artist.

If it wasn't for the "is this Nas??" campaign no one would even know who the f*ck Droog is.


If only Guerilla Blak and the Realest or whatever would have been white, they'd have been H U G E.

and that action bronson sounds like ghostface?

and that having vocal similarities to someone in the 2010s is literally the worst thing any rapper can do?

and that in the 90s, back when hip hop was real, no one ever sounded like anyone else in any capacity because that was biting and not biting is the #1 rule of making hip hop? never mind the fact that every artist ever starts out mimicking their idols and then if they're good they put their spin on it, eventually differentiating themselves from the artist that inspired them. the most important fact here is that droog liked nas and made an ep early in his career where he kind of sounded like nas and how he's forever branded as the worst person imaginable: a biter

no luv for copycat emcees. how many clown nxggas came out with the "iggity" style when Das Efx dropped? so many, that Das had to switch they style with the quickness. none of those biters ever made noise...i couldn't even name most of them. there are mad examples... Run DMC fell off when they started dressing like Onyx, lol. Mic Geronimo disappeared when he started trying to bite the Bad Boy steez. it goes on and on.

oddly, the same can't be said for beats, but i'll leave that for another conversation.

Just like how someone who is into fashion can spot a knockoff bag easily, but a casual clothes wearer(not sure of the term) would not be able to discern the difference. That is why there is a market for fake bags.

My question to us hip hop heads is, what does it say if even the discerning customer cosigns knockoffs. I'm not even making a judgement just a question.

I'm not hearing anybody saying he doesn't sound like Nas. Just stop, we will never see eye to eye.

However, the music is pretty dope. I feel wrong listening to it though. Are we legit okay with biting?

Another question. If Your Old Droog isn't biting what IS biting? what would be too far. Honestly if you don't think Your Old Droog is a biter/copycat/knockoff I don't see how you can call anything biting.

www.anwarmorse.com
https://www.instagram.com/thereal_anwarmorse99/

The dude definitely sounds like Nas but to me most of that is in his voice and tone.

Lyrically he isn't on the same level and they have different phrasing and write from different perspectives.

Are we saying he's a biter for how his voice sounds? Is he purposefully imitating Nas' voice?

Edit: let me be clear that I can't rock with him either and from day one knew that it wasn't Nas. So I'm not trying to stick up for him but I don't think we should tell him not to rap *if* his voice naturally sounds similar to Nas.

If Droog isn't a biter, who/what qualifies.

www.anwarmorse.com
https://www.instagram.com/thereal_anwarmorse99/

I would say that biting is colts by someone's flow, their actual lyrics, their concepts, their image, etc.

And yes, you can bite someone's voice if you are intentionally making yours sound the same but if you naturally sound like another rapper because that's how God made your voice, is it fair to call them a biter?

Right and exact...

Integrity is the Cornerstone of Artistry...

That's biting right?

Stray Bullet = I Gave You Power

I mean, if dude's voice is exactly just like Nas voice (that' some genetic miracle shit) what's he gonna do?

But I know it's the cool thing to say OK's is better since it came out first and is more "underground"

it's like...like...I'ma gun
FOH

there's an interview where people were telling him not to do that but he didn't think people would catch on.

I think "I Gave You Power" is one of Nas' most-overrated songs.

The beat is perfect and sets the backdrop beautifully

The story moves nicely.

Social commentary.

imagery is on point as usual.

I think people take it for granted.

*shrugs*

He definitely should've left the intro off though lol

I mean... how do you mean by making him sound like Nas voice-wise? How do you even fake a voice? I understand from a studio perspective if you never show your face outside the studio.

But looking at this for instance, hearing him talk, hearing him spit, what is he supposed to do to alter his voice?

https://youtu.be/CZZO9EueT4s?t=50

Look at Jaime Foxx doing John Legend.

If someone came out actually trying to imitate someone's entire style like that...that would be biting.

I feel that's different than if your voice just happens to sound similar because that's the way God created you.

I saw a B-Real interview where he said everyone thought he was wack in the beginning and the rest of the group made him change his voice to what you hear now.

It just happens to be HIS style so that's ok. But if you listen to him talk you can clearly tell he puts on his rapping voice in the booth.

with their voice?!?!?!

you heard Droog talk? you heard Bronson talk?

okay, then what the fuck do you expect them to sound like rappin, you know?

they sound how they sound.

So Droog and Bronson the ONLY TWO dudes with voices
"they can't change" and HAPPEN to sound exactly like
two legends?

LMAO

The are biters

Just admit that you are okay with biters.

But they ARE biting

(C)Keith Murray, "

rapping in your voice, or changing your voice out of concern that you might have a similar vocal tone to someone else?

just admit you don't know what biting is.

You're in here acting like there's no resemblence.

I agree that it's a fine line with the "biter" title when their natural voices sound like the legends. We've seen this before with Shine and that other Biggie sound alike. There was also a Jay sound alike if I'm not mistaking.

Those dudes got clowned but for some reason these guys don't. Are they just better rappers?

I fully understand not wanting to listen to an MC that sounds very much like another MC, let alone a legend because it just comes off as wack regardless if the music is good or not.

I'm not going to flat out call them a biter if they can't help it but they can't be mad if people don't rock with them cuz...thems the brakes.

what i did say is cats act like:

1. their ears are so clogged that they can't distinguish between them

2. that because their voices sound how they sound that they should take on some kind of fake voice so that comparisons can't be made.

sem·blance
ˈsembləns/Submit
noun
the outward appearance or apparent form of something, especially when the reality is different.

w/ that said, i'm done addressing this.

if you don't like it don't listen. shit, i don't even listen to these dudes outside of a song or two, but i can recognize when Nas is rapping vs. when Droog is rapping. i'll say that if you think they sound alike then you need to listen harder or that maybe you don't REALLY know what Nas sounds like because they may have a similar vocal tone but they don't rap alike.

I knew it wasn't Nas because the voice was literally the only thing that sounded like him.

Everything else was difference.

Sway touched up on this also when he interviewed Droog a couple of years ago:

do droog's raps rhythmically line up with nas' in such a way that they are too similar for your liking, beyond the general 90s NYC flow that many rappers still use? does droog use the same inflections that nas does, in the same places in the meter? does droog have that nas swing?

He changes his shit up a lot but it's subtle.

Droog's flow is like one that Nas has used in the past but to me that's some NYC shit. It's really the voice that makes them sound similar.

But as I said, pronunciation is vey different on many words.

....Droog is a fuckin beast ...too bad Nas doesn't get beats like he does

in fact, Pun acknowledged many times that G was one of his main influences
which is something biters never do
in fact, they always go the opposite
"this my style, this is how I flow, etc etc"
see: Sugarhill biting Caz, Onyx biting LONS, Jay biting Biggie, etc
