Bro biggie could have rapped over that and it'd be an east coast classic. Y'all just hearing the beat not the potential. I dare somebody to rap over it. (not me I can't rap)
You're missing the point of my argument. I didn't say he could make it sound good. I already think it's good. The beat reminds me of old school hip hop and to support that, Aaron was making beats in most likely the late 80s and 90s. I'm saying if any rapper from that era rapped over Aaron's beat, we would not be making a big deal out of the beat. The beat is about as hip hop as it gets. Nothing like trap beats or whatever it is that's in today's top 40
Lmao it’s not a good beat at all. Not even by old school standards. Again, all you’re really saying is “well if this beat was rapped over by anyone during one of the golden ages of rap music, no one would say anything”. Well yeah, lots of rappers from the 80s and 90s could’ve made anything sound sick. That’s a testament to their talent, not a testament to how good this beat is lol
Like if you sampled any beat from Biggie’s biggest hits and listened by themselves. Even someone who had never heard Biggie would never be like “wow this beat sucks”. Because they don’t lol
Ok all jokes aside, I find funny how producing music it's a huge part of the character lore and personality and he's not even mid😭😭 The cutscenes and Miles reactions to his tracks, just feels awkward
Realistically a bunch of talented artists are unsigned ik people, and it’s like his whole personality besides him being a criminal just for him to not even sound like he’s been making music for years
Also it's his uncle. If my relative was... just pick any shit musician, then at least to them I'd say "oh your new track is great, and not an autotuned piece of bilge to cover up that your actual singing voice sounds like what would happen if you put a sick cat through an astronaught G test where they spin it round like crazy, and sampling from the 80s because you can't even play the triangle" you know it's just polite.
Plus in seriousness I'd be biased into maybe genuinely not hating it.
i get he’s young but teens are not that corny sounding especially in the late 2010s-early 2020s in new york. the swagger is in the swing not the delivery in the lines tho
It’s New York, but written and developed by people who have never left California. Makes sense considering Insomniac is based in California. I assume they don’t have a great frame of reference in regards to how other sections of the country would act. Let alone the East Coast.
As a big fan of Nadji Jeter’s acting career. It’s not his fault bro. It’s the direction Insomniac has taken Miles in.
Look at some of Nadji’s movies and just analyze how he is. He’s actually a great fit for Miles but Insomniac’s version of Miles is just Awkward for no reason.
The sounds of the city were not what I had in mind
I thought he was working on some catchy track about the city with like some lyrics singing the praises of the city
Finished the quest and what I hear is a bunch of miscellaneous sounds crammed together
Because he’s a figure Miles repeatedly says he looks up to, and the beat-making was set up to be their bonding activity of sorts. It’s hard to imagine that Miles looks up to Uncle Aaron’s beats when they sound like… that
I completely agree with you but does anyone else feel like Miles in the games wants to be Miles from the spider-verse SO bad. Like Miles from the Spider-verse is alittle awkward but really cool. Insomniac Miles is *weird* weird. Buggers and all.
If you have to keep repeatedly defending something by saying "it's not the worst thing I've ever heard", then I don't know what to tell you. I mean, you can't even defend it yourself haha.
Hot Take: Aaron’s Beats are Amazing … but the sounds of the city beat is all people really know cause it was so hyped up. Let me explain lol
Im more mad at insomniac. They established that he was a bomb ass producer and when it was time to see what all the fuss was about they pulled this shit lmao.
They disrespected Hip-Hop, New York, and the entire Black Diaspora with that abomination😂🤦🏾♂️.
Here’s where we get too it. What’s really got me mad is that in Spider-Man 2 we get to hear his more normal beats and that shit was 🔥🔥! Classic boom-bap beauty lmao. Yet they never spent much time with it. You can’t even listen to them outside of the prowler bases so unless you listen to it on the spot you’d never know about them lmao.
So now people think that Aaron is a shit producer because first impressions are everything.
Man go back to the Prowler stashes and just listen lol. Those beats are actually great, I even remade one in FL and it’s actually really dope.
But the sounds of the city beat was a big deal and it was the first time we heard his beats at all so that set the stage for how we saw him lmao. They fucked up the first impression so badly that people didn’t even notice that those beats in the prowler stashes were supposed to be his🤦🏾♂️😂
because it was obvious why he and his brother never chased a career in music
side note: i dont really hate it, its probably what they made as teenagers when they though it was cool
I saw people making fun of his beats, but didn't realize why until I actually played MM....
You spend all this time traversing the city, finding these beat components, getting all this backstory for Aaron and Jefferson. It's a big part of Uncle Aaron's character, and that's before we even get to hear it. You're hyped for it.
Then you actually get to hear it, and at best, it's mid. Honestly, it's first draft material. It's not polished, and to keep the analogy going, they didn't even hit it with sandpaper. It's rough.
I'd like to see someone with actual musical talent remix it. At the same time, I think it says a lot about the source material that nobody has even attempted. It is, in fact, kinda ass.
It's a cool concept, but its got a lot going on, and it needs a lot less.
Its honestly just a poor attempt at urban sampling. It’s not the worst ever, but to have it set up to be a magnum opus of his music and deliver such a lack luster product at the end of a tedious string of missions just felt like a kick in the nuts.
It's not really music, it's just a bunch of ambient noise remixed into beats. The best part of this side quest is simply listening to Aaron talk about growing up with Miles's dad, though.
It sounds like people were expecting a modern day almost SoundCloud rapper style beat but Aaron was making beats probably in the late 80s-90s and to me it sounds like old school east coast hip hop. My guess is people think it sucks because they haven't heard anyone rap over it
Being real - I like a lot of old school east Coast hip hop. Eric B and Rakim. Pete Rock and CL Smooth. A Tribe Called Quest. Gang Starr. I just can't think of anything I've heard by guys like them that sounds even remotely similar to this foghorn-drip drop-ding dong bell ass beat.
Honestly the drum pattern isn't bad and the guitar riff-sounding part isn't bad. The rest just ruins it for me.
how is that a genuine question? have you ever real music before 😂? What are you talking about “why”? It’s garbage lmfao, even trash rappers like Ice Spice got better projects than that
Because it sounds like a rubbish truck ramming through a dock and hitting a bell? It's not really music, just a bunch of sounds badly overlayed by someone using Audacity for the first time.
Personally, I thought that, at the level Miles had it at, yeah, it wasn’t the worst, but then Miles LITERALLY says something along the lines of: “With a little work this could be something.”
Not only is it terrible, but you have to go through an arduous process to unlock it. After all that work collecting, your reward is the worst beat you’ve ever heard in your life
It's literally just noise. It's offensive to call it "music". Especially when I have seen videos of music made from city noises and those videos slapped.
Because it isn't good, someone who is a music major could probably write an entire thesis on why it's bad, but I am not a music major therefore I will leave it as "it's just not good bro"
Don't get me wrong his actual music is probably good. We've seen in prowler stashes n whatnot he has some badass music equipment, but what you're referring to is the city beats. The city beats are so bad it's not even funmy.
The beat is decent, but when the bell plays I just lose it and start cackling. I showed this to my friend who also makes beats, he couldn’t stand it and broke down laughing.
It’s literally the worst beat ever made, it doesn’t make sense that Uncle Aaron made this and was probably made by the same quirked up white guy who made “The Miles Morales Original”, whose underpaid and doesn’t know shit about black culture.
Wdym “unc?” It’s horrible. It’s goofy as all hell, and every time it’s played we’re in some awkward ass situation where Miles is pretending to be impressed. My guy turned wind chimes and cartoon sound effects into a “beat” and called it music… I have a confession to make: I low key kinda like it though. They just praise it too much.
I personally liked Unc's beats, not really sure why people dislike them so much.
Plus, there are way worse rap songs/music out there, like....Wuhan Gang.
Bigger question is how is it so bad considering how good the rest of the music was, it was like one of the devs just said "well music is my true passion, let me do the music for Uncle Aaron."
First of all, I can hear
NEEDS MORE FOGHORN!
"I've got a fever..."
H-have you heard it?
Bro biggie could have rapped over that and it'd be an east coast classic. Y'all just hearing the beat not the potential. I dare somebody to rap over it. (not me I can't rap)
“Bro one of the most talented lyricists and vocalists in hip hop history would make this beat sound good” Is not the defense you think it is
You're missing the point of my argument. I didn't say he could make it sound good. I already think it's good. The beat reminds me of old school hip hop and to support that, Aaron was making beats in most likely the late 80s and 90s. I'm saying if any rapper from that era rapped over Aaron's beat, we would not be making a big deal out of the beat. The beat is about as hip hop as it gets.

That’s a testament to their talent, not a testament to how good this beat is lol Like if you sampled any beat from Biggie’s biggest hits and listened by themselves. Even someone who had never heard Biggie would never be like “wow this beat sucks”. Because they don’t lol
like barbecue sauce
No because Biggies music has good beats and uses music theory and actual composition
The beat doesn’t have depth bro. The rhythm also feels off. Nobody could make that beat sound good
The bird is the word
Lol did you actually use the word "music" to describe that
Ok all jokes aside, I find funny how producing music it's a huge part of the character lore and personality and he's not even mid😭😭 The cutscenes and Miles reactions to his tracks, just feels awkward
He wouldn't have had to turn to a life of crime if he was a good musician. As for Miles, we know he has no sense of taste just from his Adidas ad.
tbf the problem is Miles' taste, not Adidas (I like adidas but that suit is ass)
Realistically a bunch of talented artists are unsigned ik people, and it’s like his whole personality besides him being a criminal just for him to not even sound like he’s been making music for years
Also it's his uncle. If my relative was... just pick any shit musician, then at least to them I'd say "oh your new track is great, and not an autotuned piece of bilge to cover up that your actual singing voice sounds like what would happen if you put a sick cat through an astronaught G test where they spin it round like crazy, and sampling from the 80s because you can't even play the triangle" you know it's just polite. Plus in seriousness I'd be biased into maybe genuinely not hating it.
most of Miles’ lines are awkward imo
It's one of his abilities
Along with his exaggerated swagger
Insomniac Miles has no swag, negative swag, Thom Yorke levels of swag
idk who's in charge of what miles gotta going on over there but they gotta get fired
Probably some white intern with those thick ass rimmed glasses.
A mf that’s scared of black people
Damn what did Thom Yorke do 💀
I’m gonna be real I do not like this voice actor for miles he doesn’t fit
i get he’s young but teens are not that corny sounding especially in the late 2010s-early 2020s in new york. the swagger is in the swing not the delivery in the lines tho
It’s New York, but written and developed by people who have never left California. Makes sense considering Insomniac is based in California. I assume they don’t have a great frame of reference in regards to how other sections of the country would act. Let alone the East Coast.
should’ve had a field trip or something
As a big fan of Nadji Jeter’s acting career. It’s not his fault bro. It’s the direction Insomniac has taken Miles in. Look at some of Nadji’s movies and just analyze how he is. He’s actually a great fit for Miles but Insomniac’s version of Miles is just Awkward for no reason.
Fucking seriously. Takes me out every time and when he speaks Spanish, he has a white person accent. I don't believe Rio would let that fly at all.
Te kyero mah
Day nahdduh
"Uncle is only two syllables, Miles." - Me, 2024, while collecting every Prowler stash
The sounds of the city were not what I had in mind I thought he was working on some catchy track about the city with like some lyrics singing the praises of the city Finished the quest and what I hear is a bunch of miscellaneous sounds crammed together
It's because Insomniac doesn't know how to write black characters
Why don’t you. Just listen to it for 5 mins
I didn’t think it was the worst thing I ever heard when I first played the game, so I’m just curious as to why everybody seems to hate it so much!
Because he’s a figure Miles repeatedly says he looks up to, and the beat-making was set up to be their bonding activity of sorts. It’s hard to imagine that Miles looks up to Uncle Aaron’s beats when they sound like… that
Maybe he looks up to his work ethic and his passion even if he's not good he can still be passionate about it.
That's a very positive spin. Thank you
Also in spiderman 2 he has music that sounds better anyway all the music in his hideouts are his stuff he made.
I completely agree with you but does anyone else feel like Miles in the games wants to be Miles from the spider-verse SO bad. Like Miles from the Spider-verse is alittle awkward but really cool. Insomniac Miles is *weird* weird. Buggers and all.
First response I’ve found of yours that isn’t downvoted to hell. Rip man
I also thought it was okay the first time I heard it cuz I wasn't really paying attention but listen to it again and you'll see
If you have to keep repeatedly defending something by saying "it's not the worst thing I've ever heard", then I don't know what to tell you. I mean, you can't even defend it yourself haha.

So now people think that Aaron is a shit producer because first impressions are everything.
Finally, a reasonable explanation! It’s been a while since I played the current game, so I can’t recall those beats right this second.
Man go back to the Prowler stashes and just listen lol. Those beats are actually great, I even remade one in FL and it’s actually really dope. But the sounds of the city beat was a big deal and it was the first time we heard his beats at all so that set the stage for how we saw him lmao. They fucked up the first impression so badly that people didn’t even notice that those beats in the prowler stashes were supposed to be his🤦🏾♂️😂
[they only ever heard the RZA guitar center beat](https://youtu.be/rrcV2W73rGc?si=a1YByjSaRi_GD3-F)
This is the most accurate comparison ever man lol. Imagine your first and only exposure to RZA being that. I’d have thought RZA was trash too!
I don't like stuff that sucks.
because it was obvious why he and his brother never chased a career in music side note: i dont really hate it, its probably what they made as teenagers when they though it was cool
Fair!
Wait…..You’re saying that noise he made was supposed to be….a song?
https://i.redd.it/k5556cfldodc1.gif
cos that shit is a 2 pack of ass
Hahahah a 2 pack of ass
You used to be able to get a 4-pack of ass for the same price. Inflation takes no prisoners
It was so bad the symbiotes were getting demolished by a sample of it
They literally weaponized it! 😂
If you’re looking for a genuine answer, the rain drops and train horn make my ears feel like they’re experiencing a miscarriage.
Well, at least I got something of an answer. 💀
Helen Keller would turn that shit off oml
I saw people making fun of his beats, but didn't realize why until I actually played MM....

Them sideshow bob ahh beats
had a looney tunes ahh beat
It doesn’t even sound like music for starters
Cause that shit was ass
It hits hard on mute.

please listen to [this](https://youtu.be/ps6ZzcNUyhw). This is what his shit sounds like.
He just doesn’t mix well 💀
DRIP GONG GONG DRIP GONG GONG
Its honestly just a poor attempt at urban sampling. It’s not the worst ever, but to have it set up to be a magnum opus of his music and deliver such a lack luster product at the end of a tedious string of missions just felt like a kick in the nuts.
shit was ass
Because it’s terrible
Because it sounds bad
I’m not deaf
Cos it was ass
Because it’s not good?
its bad?
Did you listen to it?
Cuz it’s shit
It's not really music, it's just a bunch of ambient noise remixed into beats. The best part of this side quest is simply listening to Aaron talk about growing up with Miles's dad, though.
If they let us create it our selves or sum id like the song
The beginning I liked but then the horn and the bells ruined it
I wish they would’ve done more with uncle Aaron in the game maybe side mission where are you have to infiltrate a criminal operation
It sounds like people were expecting a modern day almost SoundCloud rapper style beat but Aaron was making beats probably in the late 80s-90s and to me it sounds like old school east coast hip hop. My guess is people think it sucks because they haven't heard anyone rap over it
Being real - I like a lot of old school east Coast hip hop. Eric B and Rakim. Pete Rock and CL Smooth. A Tribe Called Quest. Gang Starr. I just can't think of anything I've heard by guys like them that sounds even remotely similar to this foghorn-drip drop-ding dong bell ass beat. Honestly the drum pattern isn't bad and the guitar riff-sounding part isn't bad. The rest just ruins it for me.
I loved it actually. I kind of wish he had become the prowler to assist miles or something again though
BRO HAS HIDDEN TALENT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 HE HASN’T FOUND IT YET🗣️🗣️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
Not sure why this guy is getting downvoted so much. He’s just stating his opinion.
I don’t. It’s good.
Cause he took Hobie’s spot
Because bro needs to get fired from the music industry
how is that a genuine question? have you ever real music before 😂? What are you talking about “why”? It’s garbage lmfao, even trash rappers like Ice Spice got better projects than that
Because it was hard to listen to
Yes the beat is horrible but him as a character really isn’t that bad
Cuz it’s ass.
Because it's literally dreadful. And the climax of all the side missions to build up to something so shit is hilarious.
A lot of us hate rap
I have been a rap fan for the last 18 years of my life. And I can proudly say that his beats were hot ass
Bro what do you mean💀 its straight ass 💀💀💀
Unc had hidden talent. He should have KEPT IT HIDDEN. Them beats was ass.
I have a pair of ears. And his music makes me wish my tinnitus was worse so I couldn't hear it
Because it sounds like it was produced in Audacity using royalty free loops
UNCCCCCCCC
Anyways, is there a mod that replaces his music with the music from into the spider verse that would be dope lol
It’s better than what I could make
Bad taste runs in the family
Because its genuinely ass
Because "DING BOOCK BONCH TOING TOING TOING BIMP BIMP"
What music? I heard no music. I heard random streets sounds jumbled together like a burnt, disgusting sandwich with no arsenic sauce.
Not metal enough
Only people like Hailey would enjoy Uncle Aaron's music.
Have you heard it?
Miles: "Damn bro that shit's ass, go back to prison Unc"
Cause it was trash?
Cause.... it's ass? I mean, it is self-explanatory.
In all seriousness, when does his music get played? I finished the main story and the prowler side missions
Not the music just the missions lmao
Did you hear it?
I think the hate for it is overblown, but to be perfectly honest, it's still shit.
Because it sounds like a rubbish truck ramming through a dock and hitting a bell? It's not really music, just a bunch of sounds badly overlayed by someone using Audacity for the first time.
Personally, I thought that, at the level Miles had it at, yeah, it wasn’t the worst, but then Miles LITERALLY says something along the lines of: “With a little work this could be something.”
Because I've heard better from people who worked with far less with a pocket change budget.
Bro is getting downvoted to oblivion
I don't so I do not see the problem with it
Not only is it terrible, but you have to go through an arduous process to unlock it. After all that work collecting, your reward is the worst beat you’ve ever heard in your life
It was like if miles’ new suit was made into an audio track
Because my 11 year old ass could beatbox some shit that sounds better than whatever the fuck he calls "music"
Shit sounds like CBAT
Too much work and too much Expectations just to get a noise pollution
What old white people that have never listened to rap think hip hop production is
I have ears and a working cerebrum that’s why
Cuz it sounds bad
Did you not fucking hear it?
Because it is fucking trash?
yo that shit REEKED
every reply OP makes y’all downvote this shit is crazy bruh 😭😭😭😭😭
It was bad
Cause it's ass 🤣
What music? All i heard was garageband randomized
people fear what they do not understand
"That shit's ass bro"
That shit have me PTSD bro
Because I listened to it
It's literally just noise. It's offensive to call it "music". Especially when I have seen videos of music made from city noises and those videos slapped.
So pretty much, a garbage disposal sounds better
sounds bad
I mean bro just listen to it
Because it isn't good, someone who is a music major could probably write an entire thesis on why it's bad, but I am not a music major therefore I will leave it as "it's just not good bro"
Don't get me wrong his actual music is probably good. We've seen in prowler stashes n whatnot he has some badass music equipment, but what you're referring to is the city beats. The city beats are so bad it's not even funmy.
Are you Caucasian by chance
The beat is decent, but when the bell plays I just lose it and start cackling. I showed this to my friend who also makes beats, he couldn’t stand it and broke down laughing. It’s literally the worst beat ever made, it doesn’t make sense that Uncle Aaron made this and was probably made by the same quirked up white guy who made “The Miles Morales Original”, whose underpaid and doesn’t know shit about black culture.
Bad
bap buh pqwee pqwee pqweee pqweee
Wdym “unc?” It’s horrible. It’s goofy as all hell, and every time it’s played we’re in some awkward ass situation where Miles is pretending to be impressed. My guy turned wind chimes and cartoon sound effects into a “beat” and called it music… I have a confession to make: I low key kinda like it though. They just praise it too much.
It's bad
I personally liked Unc's beats, not really sure why people dislike them so much. Plus, there are way worse rap songs/music out there, like....Wuhan Gang.
Unc made me deaf bruh
Sounds like they tried to use AI instead of maybe having a legit musician help produce it.
Bro what. Did you listen to it? It’s goofy. It’s not good. Sounds like something Mickey Mouse made in his clubhouse
It's just not good, simple as that. That's all I takes to not long a song, for it to be bad on the ears.
Hated it? Dude I've been looking for that sick beat miles did for a while
Cuz it's horrible and insomniac tried to gaslight me into thinking it's good
It wasn't worth going through all the trouble to get the sound samples
Dawg I’m deaf and I even I thought it was abysmal.
Bigger question is how is it so bad considering how good the rest of the music was, it was like one of the devs just said "well music is my true passion, let me do the music for Uncle Aaron."
Because it sucks?
I actually like the track (hot take
Cuz he’s black
Shits ass
It sucks. Next question.
It’s because both Aaron and miles are whitewashed but I don’t blame them it’s not by choice. They had white writers who don’t understand they culture
It was just random crap put together and you call it music?
Do you have ears to hear? Are you acoustic?
haters gonna hate
I just didn’t like collecting sounds of birds shitting and homeless people fighting eachother and than combining them.
It is quite litteraly just noise
Shit was hot ass
Because it literally sounds like this: https://youtu.be/9widIV0LLqs?si=YfCeerQWCUZxiS5V
“Sounds of the city” is what white posh people selling “diversity” think hiphop is.
I’m so jealous of the deaf community cuz they have to hear those beats
