"Mustard on the beat ho"

Not sure, but some are cool some aren't

Bad Boy did it.
But it was/still is Diddy-puffy-combs' voice.

It all started on June 12th, 1996.

Damn THAT'S RIGHT- I forgot that one

Sixxx your musical knowledge surpasses your DJ skillz...

: )

Anybody else?

Darkchild did it in the late 90's/early 00's...

Jump Smokers was the first I remember hearing remixers doing that.

Example? I can't remember there being a Darkchild drop, I know he did some stuff for bad boy and puffy used a lot of spoken word "rap" - hard to tell if was a lyric or a drop.... LOL



Discotech was that first I remember along those lines (other than Fatman Scoop yelling)
Watchwww.youtube.com

Akon and that stupid cell door slam followed by "convict". What an asshat. Not sure if he produced those tracks though.

don't forget all the "Murder Inc" drops...

DJ Clue?

Ahhh, good one - yep forgot that one too - the jail door slam - "Connnn-vict!"

That shit is annoying as fuck! i hate those drops..

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Juuuust Blaaaaze"

Those Cassie "next selection" drops over her tracks right pisses me off.

My vote is for either Puffy as above, or maybe Timbaland...

Hmmmmm, intrusting.

Had to be Puffy's azz...

Pete Rock was the first that I can remember...

Watchwww.youtube.com

Premier always seemed to have a drop here and there too

+1
Pete Rock wouldnt just put in a drop, Pete would ad-lib the whole song with his name all over it and any other random thought he may have had.

i love those producer drops.

producer drops = wack

I like the way that Premier did. He had a distinct sound and didn't need a drop for you to know he produced the track. If u gotta put a producer drop on a track then it's because you know your shit is a carbon copy of everybody else and unoriginal

Definitely don't agree at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall.

It did become a trend, but doesn't mean that their music is carbon copies at all. A lot of producers who drop tags have a unique style.

Mike Will definitely came from the Drumma Boy "school" of sound, but he's evolved it into his own.

Just Blaze for sure took the boom bap and the late 90's Commercial East Coast sound to a new level, and used his tags.

Jazze Pha had that soulful but commercial sound when he was on.

Scott Storch for sure had a recognizable sound in 2004-2005.

DJ Mustard's sound is extremely basic, but he combined the sound of the 05 Snap sound, a little bit of 80's West Coast, and even a bit of New Orleans bounce to come up with that minimalist sound that's starting to influence a lot of other producers, even outside of L.A.

Premier for sure had his own sound and trademarks, such as how he bleeped out expletives, but a LOT of producers in that era were carbon copies of each other....but we only remember the ones that stand out.

I've never heard of Mustard or Mike Will... what tracks have they produced?

oh wait, Mustard did Rack City right?

Mike Will is on 2 Chains new stuff:

No Lie w/Drake Watchwww.youtube.com (drop is 2 seconds in - it's on other tunes too, can't think of it right now)

On Point.... all the other shit is cookie cutter shit.

Well put Artistic! I would also like to add that producers want their drops because it builds reputation. Most producers are freelancers and not attached to groups or only one artist and a majority of mc's don't shout the producers name on their song.Unless your Pete Rock or Timbo Producer/MC.

That's why I don't know who he is.. I don't like any of that slow ass down south stuff. They talk about the same stuff on every track... How much money they claim to have, how many hoes they claim to be doin, how much drugs they apparently sell... and of course, the strip club LOL

Man, I'm with you on the slow azz down south stuff, but keep it 100....

ALL DEM RAPPAS talk about how many hoes, drug slangin and the skrip club...

All of 'em...

"This a Nitti beat."

lol

My vote goes to So So Def, started using them in the mid-late 90's

Does this count? Watchwww.youtube.com

I was about to wager the same thing. You heard that baby, you knew it was a Timbaland beat.

Then again, Puff Daddy did the same thing so Sean Combs may have been first to that too.

The one that popped into my head was AAAAAAAAAAALchemist.

"Cos I'm KRS and I'm on the mic, and Premier's on The Breaks"

producer wise the first ones I remember doing it consistently were trackmasters and tumbling dice productions with the dice sounds at the beginnings of the tracks

Brandy "What About Us" is one I recall, toward the end of the song.

Yea but at least Discotech has the decency not to actually stick that into the song itself...I've always thought it incredibly sleazy/douchebaggy for Jump Smokers to whisper on every fucking song they remix.

Its been going on forever but it is a great way for producers to get there name out there. for the ppl who may not know who they are .... some are good some are Cheesy. and since most music is now on the internet and not CDs ppl dont kno who produced it. Its a great for of promotion in my Opinion

Maybe I should start doing it on all my posts

--m.m.m.m.Mark--

Just for promotion and to get my name out there.

But seriously...Jump Smokers have done some nice remixes, but it's super-douchey of them to stick that drop in every remix. When there were actually A&R people with some semblence of musical taste working at labels, it would never have been tolerated.

the jumpsmokers one isn't that bad...just a whisper so it's annoying but not unplayable. not a good look to drop a couple of theirs in a row though lol. also, not nearly as obnoxious as "DJ KHALED!!!" in that disgusted sounding voice. mike d always puts drops on his remixes, but it's just a whispered "d" with an echo, where if you know, then you notice it, but other wise doesn't even sound like a drop.

The worst is R&B songs with thugged out sounding producer drop on them... just ruins the mood lol

...

Man, if someone had been shouting "YMCMB!", etc. on top of some Boyz II Men back in the day...

<whisper> Mike Will Made it....

Bump

I can't believe how many songs this dude has on the radio at the moment.

I guess the producer shit runs in cycles - he bumped out Maybach Music and Mustard on Da Beat...

That fucking drop runs thru my head every time I listen to Hot Garbage radio

I dont know the exact date but im willing to bet kid caprus was in on the ground floor


"Beat starts...mayboch music...screech music stops....screaming, see alot of you dont know this cause yall young but that was producer drop, thats the identifier for the public to know whos song it is...branding people....BRANDING...NOW SAY IT WITH ME BRAAAANDDDUNG...now who remembers who produced this song....anyone....ANYONE....REEEEWINNND...song starts...mayboch music.....sceech muisc....SEE MAYBOCH MUSIC, THIS IS HIPHOP..

......beat starts ...young mula baaaby....now who remembers what thats called, remember kids theres a quiz at the end...HOT FYYA!!!"

Seriously, clue and just blaze kinda made labling nonartist a thing, puffy, manny fresh, swiss beats and jazzy fay were some of the earliest producers that made it popular

Hearing my brothers mixtapes back in middle school, dj Clue was pretty obnoxious, Primo dropping his PPPPPPPP-premier, JD with his So SO Def bs, dj Evil Dee of Da Beatminerz, Just Blaze, Traxters..thats all I can think of at the moment

I remember the first time i realised it wasva "thing" was when i was warching a jazzy fay interview and they askied him why he had a drop when he wasnt on the song and he explained manny told him it was something he needed to do

Are you talking about Jazzy Pha? Ladies n Gentlemen

Ya him lol

A jazzy fizzle producizzle

"la musica de harry fraud" <--i love this one

Track masters did the little whisper "track masters" - song I think of first was "lights camera action" by Mr. Cheeks - (go listen to that - dope gem there)... Dark child did Brandy's "never say never" album and did "you rock my world" by MJ - you can find his drops in that...

Clue with the echoed "DJ Clluuueee!" or his habit of "New (insert artist)!"). The number of songs I would hear him on .

JD's" so so Def" plug in everyone's tracks is the first "label name" plug I can think of - going back to Da Brat's "Funkdefied".

My goodness that was annoying. Couldn't download a song without his drops over THE WHOLE THING.

on the mike will stuff do you guys know what the other sample is? usually before the 'mike will made it'. it sounds like someone is saying is saying 'al draws'. i know thats not what it is, but thats what it sounds like.

That was the whole point of doing it.. If i was the only person with that exclusive record on my mixtape im tagging that bitch up with all kinds of drops so nobody else can use it and just put on their mixtape.. for promotional use only, u want a copy without me screaming on it, wait til the single drop.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't produced by the track masters and didn't come out until 2001 anyway, years after producer drops had been going on..

What song? Give us an example, I'm hearing Mike Will songs all over the place but not sure what you are asking about

Like most things that seem to be popular in music today, I'd say this started in reggae in the 70s when it was very standard to shout mention the producer and band in songs, especially on the"dj version" of a track.

Juicy J - Bands Make Her Dance @ 0:01

Take dat, take dat........lol

i think we have a winner.....

I use to not mind Harry Fraud's drop until I started hearing it on beats I had heard before his time. Perfect example:

Chinx Drugz ft. French Montana - I'm A Cokeboy 88bpm
Watchwww.youtube.com

is basically a sped up instrumental of this:

Royal Flush - Worldwide 84bpm
Watchwww.youtube.com

Get 'da 4#!k 'outta here!

I think it makes more sense on a remix than a new track. This example isn't a remix, though.

I understand why the ex DJs did it (like premier, pete rock, manny fresh, etc.). They made tapes back in the day. If you didn't put your name on your tape, somebody else would and rebrand it claiming all your hard work.

Premier's production drop is different though. He'll have the artist say his name. I don't mind that. Same with swizz beatz and kanye. However, I never liked darkchilds or jazzie pha.

These new songs with the same stale drop seems necessary for self promotion. They probably can't get artists to integrate it into the songs since most of them shop their beats around and not too many of them work in the same studio together. It seems like the lack of a real collaboration where the artist and producer are in the studio at the same time is showing in music.. But that's a different topic I guess.

Since we're on the topic, who used to yell "WET WIIIIPES"? lol

Eddie Murphy's party all the time video paid homage to rick James on the beat. More of a visual drop

But you know what i was thinking Deez, you and i come from vinyl days - we would read the small type on a Record we liked and see what the deal was. Digital doesn't have "small type". People used to also read magazines like the Source for that info...

I guess the "drop branding" is one way to get notoriety and recognition- not that the new ratchet crowd actually cares...

I think Puma mentioned DJ Mustard - even though he did Rack City - I thought it said "Bust It on the Beat"- drops do work -lol

Does anyone remember Timbaland's drops? If you heard that baby, you knew it was Timbaland. Granted, even on tracks where you don't hear it, Timbaland has a certain style to his production that you just know it's him.

That's kinda true. That's how I first learned about Pharrell and Rump Shaker - reading the notes on the vinyl. It wasn't until recently I found out he only wrote Teddy's verse. Same principal though.

As a producer im all for drops. Nowadays most time your never even in the studio when they are recording, alotta times your track just ends up floating around and ends up in various studios and no telling whos gunna jump on your track. Ive had a track end up on an album (Smitty former J records artist) with no credit to me, but if i did have a drop in there at least they would know where it came from. I was in the studio for like 2 days straight working on my boy Ameer project at Dj Eddie F. studio (Mini Mansion Studio). Did like 10 tracks, one of the tracks ended up in the offices is Czar entertainment (Jimmy Henchman), Smitty was managed by Czar at the time, i guess heard the beat, liked it, recorded it and used it on an album. I find out about it and check the credits and its listed as Produced by Unknown.. WTF.. Couldnt even do a cease n desist cause i was just doing tracks for my boy for his project, no contracts, no money no copyright.. Was just assed out on it. Not like i was expecting Smitty to have a hit record but the credit would have been nice.

here's the origin of the maybach music drop >> Watchwww.youtube.com

Also has Rick James singing on the track, producing, etc... It was more Rick James' homage to himself.

Kewl but missing a few - lol

Jahlil Beats, Holla at me... Philly peeps know. He did all the early Meek Mill stuff before MMG. And some with MMG.

"Eardrummers" - his production company.

Why do I know unimportant stuff like this, but struggle to remember things that actually matter?
