Meek Mill f/ Young Chris - “House Party” (Mixtape, 2011)

So Meek Mill has been dead to me, more dead to me than Tupac is, ever since he chose to make Rick Ross Jr. records instead of just rapping like the scattershot madman he really is. The Tone Beats produced “House Party” is a midpoint between these two styles, which is cool but doesn’t completely redeem him yet. Let’s see what Dreamchasers holds. I’m mostly posting this because I’m suddenly wondering if anybody knows the origins or significance of that little vocal fragment that’s become so common in the post-Lugerian pallete? I can’t exactly fix my keyboard to represent the phonetics, it’s something like an “aye” or like a “why” without the “w.” Maybe it’s trying to ask those question: Why is it there? Why has a single choked out and just barely human half syllable become a staple in the mechanical world of this style of rap production? Why is it always buried so low in the mix that you wouldn’t even notice it? Why does it seem to happen sporadically a few times through the tracks and then disappear? I mean, I sort of get why Luger put it in “BMF” - because he was building something of his own but not why the knock off Lugers would hone in on such a meaningless element and then start throwing it on their own records. Generally mimics miss small details and this one seems like the smallest.

Dreamchasers drops Thursday. You will likely hear that little vocal blip elsewhere on the tape.

I think its just a generic FL Studio sound…I think Luger used it more prominently but I’ve heard it in other tracks (Swaggin by iamsu! is an example.)
