I can’t say I ever cared about drums before I made beats, just like most consumers, no sins in being a purest but I’d also say Roc Marci making linguini raps over no drums is better than a Michelin star chef on call :fku:

My ultimate opinion is, if it sounds good it sounds good. I don't think there's much of a creative difference between, say, the CREAM loop and a Roc Marciano loop... other than that the CREAM loop already had drums that RzA couldnt filter out, so he had no choice but to add some drums on top of it..... and Roc's loops don't (or he was able to filter them out)..

That said, in terms of my personal taste, I cant name a single drumless track that I really enjoyed. It just doesn't hit hard enough for me. I need the boom bap behind the melody to really get into it.

But, I'm not gonna knock someone for making a certain kind of music... especially if a lot of people like it. Good for them. its just not for me.
