Roc Marciano on changing the landscape and dictating the sound of underground hip hop for the last decade with his signature minimalistic "no drum" beats.
can't believe ive slept on marciano for the last 20 yrs. His last 2 albums are fucking mindlblowing. time to dig in the crates, and listen to all this material this man has blessed us with.
He's spitting facts, even more now, when you look at artists like Navy Blue, Medhane, MIKE, Wiki, and all the artists in that sphere using minimalistic no drum loops.
Who knew after hearing the Heist with Rae, Ghost and Busta in 2000, that Roc Marcy was gon be that dude ten years later. He really did create his own lane, especially with Reloaded. That album took it to the next level right there
I got homies that are Hip Hop heads and can’t fuck with Marciano for some reason .Roc ain’t for everyone, he for a select few only (including myself) and it’s a shame people can’t realize that talent this dude has. Over 20 years in the game and still producing bangers.
Goat Marciano One of my favorite bars of his “My aura glisten I shot the boy with the stick from long distance then went off the grid to chill just like a baller with a torn meniscus”
Listen to Roc Marci album - Reloaded first, then listen to Any Griselda album & you'll realize Roc Marci Created that ere horror movie spooky sound without the drums in hiphop period. Roc Marci really created a sound 10yrs ago that's still relevant today & going strong 💪💯 Now we got a bunch of new upcoming underground rappers like Rome Streetz, Stove God Cooks, Eto & more that also uses the same sound in their music & I ain't mad at that, it's dope but just for the ones that don't know Roc Marci did it first.
Mar..created,INVENTED this wave we are in right now. That is not debatable or up for discussion. He's done what Rakim has done. Changed how you even listen to hip hop. Salute Roc, much continued success. 💯👊🏾
He definitely created “the wave”. But alot of artists have dabbled with the no drums style over the years. Masta Ace had Brooklyn Battles in ‘88, but Wu-Tang, specifically Rae & Ghost are the artists that really put that style out there (minimalist beats and focus on the gangster/hustler/project lyrics) just not consistently. Roc took it, ran with it, further innovated it and made his own lane and a lane for a lot of new dudes to follow.
I know they talked about different shit and had a somewhat diff fan base but I feel like you have to also put DOOM in that conversation too, probably more so. Especially on the production side. He stayed true to that no-drums, looping dusty samples at a time when basically the whole East Coast was riding the RR/Swizz Beats wave to stay competitive with the South. But on the lyrical content side I would def say Roc pioneered that whole Griselda "drugs and fly shit" sound married to grimy/unorthodox loops
Those comments he read were straight darts. That first one, and the second one🎯🎯 The creators and the fans should never relinquish their bond to a 3rd party. Shit is proven and shown
This man deserves his flowers. This the problem I have with the culture; lack of homage. But the byproduct of that is culture vultures and manufactured artists.
The Jacka was a beast in the booth. He never wrote when recording. It was a punch in at the end of each phrase. It was an honor to have met that man and see him work. Mob In Peace to Dominic

@@BE-bk1tb where you think Wu was coming to get that style from. Father Lord, Actual Facts, and Beggaz Clan. King Cee was making beats and Lord loved kung fu flicks Wu got that from the Gods when they came down here in DC.
Curren$y has been more commercialized tho, bro. I see what ya' sayin tho. Curren$y has worked his ass off. He's got some fire projects. But Roc Marci has maintained his following strictly in the underground. He's found good success with that
Nah your tripping Curren$y definitely underground, especially where he got in his career dude could literally push a button and do the whole mainstream thing.
Roc Is dope but he feeling himself too hard. I feel mf doom was doin minimalistic beats without drums before him. He didn't do em exclusively, but he was doing it before Roc I believe. I like that style of production but as a producer that makes beats myself, it's a lazy approach. People fell for the novelty of it, Roc mightve been the first dude to make a whole theme album out of drumless beats, but he didn't create the concept though. Anyways props
Yea ita kool sometimes but some of them samples be needing a hard drum or bassline to really make it dope but he said himself that he took that approach bcuz he wanted ppl to hear his words more
Hes got poetry in his blood for sure but this guy rhymes too much about dark weirdo shit rather than real world people shit. I personally dont like the lack of drums. Drums are a vital instrument for dope artistry. Especially when someone like busta or eminem start rapping off the hats instead of just the kick n snare.

His talking voice is the exactly the same as his rapping voice. So dope.
Right...lol
lmao..ikr
all the flowers to King Roc, deserve erry fucking thing
Yeah lol that Monotone rap. So dope
Roc marci is the godfather of the griselda and dump Gawd sound.
ruclips.net/video/XDeD7lJKWHc/видео.html
the Dump Gawd sound gives more Wu and DOOM honestly. I could say it's def true of Griselda though. "Rex Ryan"
That's facts...
You can add Willie da kid into that thought
Who iDump Gawd? Fahim?
Yo...this guy is groundbreaking. He really took the no drum thing to a next level. That’s the kind of rap I wanna make now too.
No disrespect but don't copy just be inspire.
@@badruddinzaid2190 and dude is inspired to make music with no drums... to each their own.
come up with your own shit, this is why hip hop is stale as fuck now. young niggas just copy what is trendy
@@bazookatooth6593 Let this nigga make his drum less beats😂who gaf

"... i WAS the catalyst for that change"

never too late man
He just got this sound like 13 yrs. Ago he was a completely different rappper back in the day o thinj he took a shitload of time off then came back
He used to be part of a rap group back in the day called the U.N. They are really good! Check em out?
Check out his album - Reloaded. That's the one you need to listen to.
good info@@whothisyouyouiswho3405
He's spitting facts, even more now, when you look at artists like Navy Blue, Medhane, MIKE, Wiki, and all the artists in that sphere using minimalistic no drum loops.
Jeremiah Jae n black jungle squad was tha first rappers I ever heard on drumless beats
@@stabaholic187 Wow, what a callback! Jeremiah Jae, Oliver the 2nd Raw Hyde tapes still on my rotation!
Roc Maci is one the best to ever do it. He's in the same category as Rakim.
They both Aquarius’s innovative shit 🔥🔥🔥
Don't be fool this dude here is highly intelligent lyrical savant category.
Roc Marciano is amazing 👏
*fooled. Also no one here probably is.. so a very unnecessary cliché comment, taking in space for no reason.
Smart guy but i wouldnt say highly intelligent, he just isnt an idiot like a lot of rappers.
ruclips.net/video/XDeD7lJKWHc/видео.html
My guy chill tf out you sound like a waste of life
Roc Marci easily is The Godfather of Underground rap
Few people deserve the title. DOOM, Sean P, even Canibus deserves an honourable mention
@@drayhudson3776I’d say it’s definitely DOOM, but Roc Marci is right there with the influence.
@@lorddevin6314 no doubt
Man I’m so glad we having this conversation roc really been the goat for a long time

"Yoh! When the drums gon' come in?"
Reloaded my favorite album ever ‼️
Bruh it was Death Parade and Thread Count
@@ForGlory1 Death parade and tek to the mac 👌

The whole album is fuckin fire.
@@ForGlory1 whole shits is dumb fire but that 76 and Flash Gordon....

Real recognize real homie. Roc Marci is tha god. Respect ✊
ruclips.net/video/XDeD7lJKWHc/видео.html
Wish he made a tape with DOOM
It's Art, gotta look at it from tha right perspective to get it
There arent many rappers that are still relevant after a decade in the game, but one other comes to mind for sure; Curren$y!✈️
And just like Roc, Curren$y created his own lane and smashed the gas down that bish.
Too short....e 40 ....kool keith....snoop dogg...
Thank God for Roc Marci
Goat Marciano
One of my favorite bars of his
“My aura glisten
I shot the boy with the stick from long distance
then went off the grid to chill
just like a baller with a torn meniscus”
This man started an entire renaissance in the genre of Hip-Hop. Artistic pieces of music from different faces/styles. Thank you Roc!
Roc is one of the dopeset spitters and producers in the game!! SALUTE!! TX to NY!!
He makes 90s hip-hop alive again
Listen to Roc Marci album - Reloaded first, then listen to Any Griselda album & you'll realize Roc Marci Created that ere horror movie spooky sound without the drums in hiphop period.

No he even says he brought it back def. Dis not create it but mastered it
He definitely created “the wave”. But alot of artists have dabbled with the no drums style over the years.

Simply a God.
Yup. Preach brother.
My lyrics was carved in pillars, I'm like God to the niggas - Roc 🐐🐐🐐
Been dope for his whole career
I mean that's the true nature of hip hop , different style and approach 👌🏽 Marci is just one of the Originators.
Talk about underrated

“Broke generational curses with my cursive” bro when I heard that I almost crashed the whip
Salute!💯🔥
This man deserves his flowers. This the problem I have with the culture; lack of homage.
But the byproduct of that is culture vultures and manufactured artists.
GOAT
Only ones that kind of kept it alive were the jacka(rip) messy marv with kokain ballads and curren$y and prodigy(rip)
The Jacka was a beast in the booth. He never wrote when recording. It was a punch in at the end of each phrase. It was an honor to have met that man and see him work. Mob In Peace to Dominic
Dude is a god.
Vibes
And now DARINGER is taking it to the next level. Love this shit
true
West gunn bought Marci into light but Roc started it definitely
Roc marci...but cant forget planet asia
Real talk , Planet Asia is a beast on tha mic
Truth
what a G
DOPE
Facts he changed the game and then Griselda brought it to another level.
lmao - Griselda is a meme.
@@superduty4823 why u say that, but think roc marci is good
@@superduty4823 Your stupid ass opinion is a meme.
@@superduty4823 put respect on griselda
Griselda has a ceiling. Roc is a one man army that doesn't have a ceiling. The beats aren't too slow
Masta Marci is the king of the Underground
He’s 46 looks 26 and raps like he’s in 1996 this guy is different
Japreme Magnetic and Actual Facts were making jawns with ni drums in the 90s.
A lot of artists did. Masts Ace had Brooklyn Battles in ‘88, but Wu-Tang, specifically Rae & Ghost are the artists that really put that style out there (minimalist beats and focus on the lyrics) just not consistently. Roc took it, ran with it, further innovated it and made his own lane and a lane for a lot of new dudes to follow.
@@BE-bk1tb where you think Wu was coming to get that style from. Father Lord, Actual Facts, and Beggaz Clan. King Cee was making beats and Lord loved kung fu flicks Wu got that from the Gods when they came down here in DC.
Lord of the underground, Rosebud the gate keeper
🐐
Sean P
Facts though
Mans talking like doom, madlib, Dilla etc didn’t exist. They had way more influence on the underground sound than anyone else
Rhinestone COWBOY is basically no drums , but much love to Roc Marciano
bringing them up would be redundant at this point. we've already had these conversations.
All caps when u speel da man's name mane

They don't know 🥂

Nah your tripping Curren$y definitely underground, especially where he got in his career dude could literally push a button and do the whole mainstream thing.
I miss the drums.
So Ghostface never did shit?? Come on, son..
On whole project naaaaaaah
@@user-yf6gy9ti7oExactly
Who does the make up on these, haha...

He didn't originate them, but he innovated and popularized them. Reloaded was the shift.
Madlib been doing that style of beatmaking for the last 2 decades+.
He sounds like kweli when he talks.
Hes got poetry in his blood for sure but this guy rhymes too much about dark weirdo shit rather than real world people shit. I personally dont like the lack of drums. Drums are a vital instrument for dope artistry. Especially when someone like busta or eminem start rapping off the hats instead of just the kick n snare.
