For sure. I like it too, for the atmosphere on certain tracks... just not on every track, you know? I mean, Beta used to make plenty of eery-ass, atmospheric beats that made for classic songs, and didn't have piano in 'em. Shit, all his beats on Loaded were eery as hell, and I'll be damned if I can remember a single one that was rockin the piano. Were there any?
I think all those older classic beats he made still had all the eeriness and atmosphere, but they also sounded more energetic and funky, and less solemn and depressing. I'd just like to hear some more of that type of production, that's all.
