Hamburger Helper drops the most fire mixtape of 2016

[quote]It's the hottest album of 2016. And it's about a processed food product.
It's "Watch the Stove," the shockingly good mixtape released by Hamburger Helper for April Fools' Day. Except it's not a joke.
Well, the songs, including "Feed the Streets" and "In Love With the Glove," are about the packaged food product and include lyrics like "if you catch me at the stove, I was whippin' up a bowl" and "hold up I told you I'm servin' that stroganoff." But they're … good. Like, really good.[/quote]

You'll have all the time to listen and eat hamburger helper off your unemployment check.

Not a big fan of this, personally.
I know a lot of Trap is the same basic structure but this is just gimmicky.

i've never understood what the new craze with hihat spam is about, it just reminds me of our [url=https://youtu.be/1PbnYmrFlfY?t=50]highschool shit music projects[/url], doesn't give off a very serious vibe that

It's pretty much the Internets ironic liking of things, like Shrek or baneposting.
Saying that hihats are a new trend let alone a meme is totally wrong and ignores lots of really interesting musical history. It's been integral to rap/hiphop for a long time and using it as a leading drum element like the first track in the OP isn't close to a new concept either.
But I don't wanna be a total butthole about that and wanted to share another snippet from the article instead that I enjoyed:
[quote]I told him I absolutely needed to know everything about how "Watch the Stove" got made. It turns out General Mills (which owns Hamburger Helper) had been planning this for a while. It also turns out the entire collaboration was a local effort.
[B]General Mills is headquartered in Minneapolis, where Madrigal also lives. (He said he went to daycare down the street from the plant where Hamburger Helper products are manufactured.) The people at Hamburger Helper were familiar with his work, including a song called " ... My Baby Mama."[/B]
Three months ago, GM approached him, he said, wanting to know if Madrigal and producer Bobby Raps wanted to work on a song with them. Liana Miller, the marketing communications planner for Hamburger Helper, said by email that the team had been kicking around the idea, joking with their Twitter followers (from @helper) about making a mixtape.
"When we saw the demand, we thought, why not?" Miller said in an emailed statement. For the album itself, "We chose to feature artists that were representative of our consumers." That included local up-and-coming talent like Madrigal.
"That's part of why we wanted to get involved," he said. "It's all Minnesota, local culture, local everything."
[/quote]
It's v cool to see them pull together local talent and highlighting some artists! They definitely had a ton of fun making this
In my opinion it sounds awful. I just can't get to all this inane new school rap. They all kinda sound like ducks.

the new "trap" thing with the multiple hihats spamming with milliseconds is pretty new though

Agreed... it's pretty damn terrible honestly. I think it's just being carried a bit like a meme? It was april fools, it's Hamburger Helper, it's 'lel food music', people are just running with the joke I guess.

not really, it's been around for over a decade

never heard it until like last year, when it started infecting electronic music

"infecting" as in lame white dudes found a way to profit off of it?
"southern" style rap has been a thing since the early 90's at least
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_3Y2Uk6HzA[/media]
this is from the early 90's (video says '95 but it's closer to '94) notice the hats? as this "memphis rap" scene spread, later stuff had the more classic trap style faster hats and standard 808 kit used in trap too.
There's also the "Drill" Chicago scene from around 2010:

the "Dirty South" scene which led to Crunk:
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFkSK2eIR9U[/media]
2007 Crunk Shit with the same sound
and Atlanta Trap. Atlanta trap is the modern Lex Luger "808 maaafiaa" style shit that Waka Flocka made big with "Hard in Tha Paint"
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9gzp1AL88[/media]
2010, where atlanta trap made it big and this sound first made in Memphis over 20 years ago got popular
this music is nowhere near "new" and is at least as old or older than those electronic genres it's "infecting"
don't roll about 6 different genres into "trap" that's like me calling all 128bpm electronic music "House"
Good post. Yeah I'm from Atlanta and more or less trap music has been around most of my life. It's been a popular sound down here since looong before flocka brought it out of the south.
mm im gonna go buy some hamburger helper after class that sounds good as fuck
Pretty damn good advertisement. I wouldn't have thought Hamburger Helper would have been able to get me to a sit through a 2 minute ad no matter what they did.

i'm not even talking about rap specifically, just the spam hihat, the older ones don't have it
but yeah it's obviously because of the main-mainstream

What makes that better is it's a Civic and it seems to be civics that play loud as fuck music so much the speakers are getting feedback.

plug those ears boyy
I don't think many people just sit down and listen to trap music. The main appeal of it is blasting it in clubs and shit when partying which, regardless of your opinion of the song alone, tends to be fun as fuck

In the south at least tons of people bump it while they drive, but you're right it's a huge club thing basically everywhere right now.
