      Music in general. Every Producer who started around 2010 had a Lex luger kit or Learned production from Lex Luger tutorials. I think that was part of his downfall. His beats sounded complex because of all the instruments he would layer but It was easy to replicate everybody copied him. Lex this never evolved past that sound. Even Southside was stuck in that sound, He was the worst producer in 808 mafia at first but he learned alot from collabing with Metro, Sonny Digital, TM-88, Tarentino. Purps and evolved as a musician. And Trap music has came along way.

    Lex wore hisself thin, he was better off working with a select few artists and keeping that sound exclusively for them. People on the outside should’ve been paying top dollar to get a Lex Luger track at that time. Older artists started hatin’ after they figured out his formula, I’m willing to bet, at that time, producers were over his shoulder while he was making beats, just watching, looking to see how he do what he does … once they got the recipe they dismissed him.

    I learned about Lex through a friend of mine who gave me Flockaveli in 2010. The beats on there were crazy that I wanted to hear that sound all the time so I decided I would learn how to make beats. I downloaded FL Studio a few months later and started learning through RUclips tutorials. I got good after a few months and I started producing for local rappers in 2011 to 2012, then I found out I could sell beats online and so I got a soundclick in 2013 and made a lot of progress on my journey. I also met a lot of like minded producers and we became good friends. I don't know if I'd have done all of that if it weren't for Lex. He deserves his flowers.

      Stereo headphones form a circuit of a common ground, a left amplifier output and headphone, and a right amplifier output and headphone. When the audio jack slightly slips out of the hole, the ground contact is usually broken, but the rest of the contacts are still being made. Vocals tend to be put into the “center” of a stereo image, which is what is lost when the ground contact is broken. However, if the ground contact is broken but the audio jack is still plugged in enough, the left and right channels are still active, so any audio that was different enough to be kept on the different channels can still make it through. The vocals, or other audio that is mixed equally into both channels (and thus, in the “center”), fade away or mute entirely, essentially because the only connections being made are the separate left and right channels.
      Stop saying this doesn't work or it changes it to mono. Neither are true.

    Lex Luger pretty much laid the foundation for the sound of todays rap, people like to say chief keef and chicago drill artists were the most influential, but they were influenced by bricksquad
    Look up Wooh Da kid - My mind gone
    Then look up chief keef - BAng
    There is a line wooh da kid says in his song ".40 cal, .50 cal, shotgun. Fo-fifth.
    When it hit him he ain't coming back"
    You can hear chief keef repeat it verbatim in bang
    Pretty much Gucci mane and the so icey boyz and their entire entourage of producers are the OGS of this whole sound we are hearing, but if you read guccis autobiography his favorite rapper was project pat, so you could say that 3-6 mafia is the prototype for all this

    A few things worked against Lex:
    1) His lack of versatility. He was under 21 and using FL so his musicality was very limited. Once his sound became oversaturated after the Flocka/Juicy J era, he didn’t have another gear to go to. That sound was all he had and he wasn’t prepared for the demands of the rapid pace of the music industry, where you have to adapt and change at a moment’s notice. Every top producer has changed their sound multiple times in order to stay on top.
    2) 808 Mafia. As an upcoming producer I honestly don’t think it’s wise to work closely with other upcoming producers. Everybody is in competition with each other for that top spot. There’s a reason Metro Boomin isn’t in a producer collective. There’s also a reason Mike Will has 20 more talented producers under him making all his beats for him. Southside was in competition with Lex, got next to him because Lex was better and bigger than him, studied his sound and surpassed him.
    3) Bad deals. Deb had bad deals with Gucci, Nicki and French at the same time. She took everybody’s money. Lex should’ve knew his value and held out for the best manager, but he was probably pushed towards Deb by Flocka and 808 Mafia, so he went along with it. Deb did bad business with everybody.
    4) Drugs. These were the death blow that knocked him out his spot for good. The 3 things I named plus whatever personal issues he already had (like having 2 kids) would make anyone use drugs to cope with stress. This led to him ruining his work relationships in the industry which led to the blackball.
    He just wasn’t ready for the game. He was like an extremely talented high school hooper who wasn’t ready for the league, like a Sebastian Telfair, who ended up with setback after setback because of bad choices. He had pure talent but the industry requires discipline, business savvy, and 48 Laws of Power level strategy because it’s a shark tank.
    Lex took the game by storm and he had other producers jealous. Kanye worked with him so he could steal his formula. Everybody wanted him out his spot and he basically needed Kobe level focus and discipline to stay on point with the amount of things working against him.
    I wish the best for him though and hope he can still make a living off music because he deserves it.

      This is very accurate as someone who hated trap beats in 2007-2010. I once found myself making tons of trap beats in 2010-11 and found that there was nothing really distinct about them over time. So I went back to my Timbaland/Danja/Neptunes style beats and experimented more with pop/EDM. Luger's run was very big though.

      im not on their level im extremely amateur but he ain't enough in my opinion coz being a beat maker is different from being a producer or a real artist overall im a solid hiphop but my first music that i made is gospel music making me explore all types of genres i didn't even like back then i managed to make a funk disco pop trap gospel music although im still waiting for the result of that songwriting competition but still im sharing my own experience in music to all amateurs like me don't be stuck in your own shit.
      and lastly all the songs i made don't sounds the same 😂
      i write produce write melodies of all my songs btw.
      good luck to all of us
