Good Morning RHH, How come rappers don't let the beat ride anymore?

Question

Like after they spit their little 2-3 min rap how come they just don't let the beat just go for another minute or so just to dance to or just vibe on. just let the producer/DJ show off a little. Scratch it up or something

I know its done in a small capacity, but not much anymore

are they scared somebody might jack it?

Answer 1

Yeah, lost art.

I like that Tabi Bonney "Pocket"  joint he lets Alizay cut the record @ the end, my fav. part.

Answer 2

People don't dance no mo.  And the DJ is a forgotten relic in modern popular hip hop, unless your name is DJ Premier.

Answer 3

they do.. but you usually only hear the extended versions on the albums.. Kanye actually does it often and there are others who do as well..but like i said you'll find those on albums.. mixtapes and radio cut it off sooner

Answer 4

i dont like for a song to be ending and then i have to hear another 30 seconds-1 minute of just the beat.. I press fast forward

Answer 5

Maybe they don't realize that their listeners would still like to hear a small instrumental.  These days, the beats are jacked REGARDLESS it seems.  I hadn't noticed this trend much until you pointed it out.
