I’ve been loving these performance platforms. Ever since this wave started, I’ve realized there are SOOOO many fire artists and songs in the world. Doesn’t matter how famous they are or how many followers they got, there will always be someone in the world that has yet to hear about their music. Even if they’re mainstream, there’s still people that have never heard a Drake song before.
I think this new vehicle for an artist to display their song in this visual landscape, without spending a lot of money on video creation like a music video, is a good tool to add alongside the visualizer and lyric videos that seem to be older brother incarnations of this same attempt to provide a more economical video marketing tool for music, than the more theatrical music video with higher expectations of production quality.
sauce walka's dangerous daringer freestyle told me this hanging mic format was NEVER going away. he did that shit outside some potty potties but that flow had me hollering
Bro I just want to say as someone starting his own music content channel, your work ethic inspires me. Putting out a ton of these vid essays per month on top of balancing teaching/making music must not be easy. Especially with all the editing too. Keep it pushing man
RIP @KindaNeat. Their video of Zeroh performing the song Yeast Meets West+Tricking in Paris is incredible. Ps BETs basement cyphers probably played a pivitol role in laying the foundation for the hanging mic genre of content
it's like a music video but super low effort. which is actually needed because music videos have been falling in popularity ever since streaming took off. it reminds me of the genius lyric breakdowns that used to be really popular.
One old hip-hop performance channel I loved back then was called KnocksteadyTV. It even had a performance by anderson paak back when he was called breezy lovejoy
I would say you could even go farther back to UA-cam and what really did influence all of what you talking about in this video is Rap City Basement. That’s one of the first place that I started seeing on the spot freestyles on camera
thank you for the shoutout.

These types of performances are a hip-hop tradition. On the Radar is literally just Tim Westwood again.
@@xSaintxSmithx yep! so many examples
That part!
Great video! I’ve never thought about why the hanging mic has been so ubiquitous, but I now have a new appreciation for it
$. I think "Tigger in the basement" started it all

@@KindaNeat oh whaat? Small world
@@whattabox not really a small world or a coincidence ha, just more of my work

@@Dubsouljahmusic good call. rap city is classic
Hadji on the radar freestyle when?
#zachsblock New Jerseys #1 Drop Mic Performance🎙
Respect the ones with the mic turned on like colours, the lip syncing ones are so trash
Dave Blunts is from my hometown Davenport Iowa
You work at a high school in the BX?? My deepest condolences lmfao
lmaooo i love those kids but it aint for everybody
great video
Nice autopsy of this new type of music video 👏
I dont like the idea of the mic when the music is pre-recorded. It makes no sense to make it look live
its all about just getting people to stay longer and watch! but from a musican standpoint yeah it doesn't make much sense haha
Somebody said its satanic music industry shit 😂
