    Hip-Hop Balance

    Hip Hop is diverse. Unfortunately, it's outlets are not. The music is not the problem. I have no problem finding ill real hip hop to listen to. I do have a problem finding an outlet that displays that diversity. I currently have a mix cd in my car that includes a 6-track sequence that...

    Another artist face off coming!

    I used to be amped about Saigon's project. Now, I am sick of hearing about it. This delay has hurt is career. I would've used the advanced to drop some shit independently, keep a buzz going. Mixtapes are dope promotion, but you need to eventually drop an album.

    Petition for merc waters to get back in tha game

    Sometimes artist need to step back and experience life because that is their main source of inspiration. With that said I'm almost certain Merc has been working on his craft in the mean time. I haven't recorded a word in over a year, but I've been writing and working on my flow everyday in...

    Addictive Drums

    Has anyone messed with this program? I stumbled across a review for it and it looks pretty interesting. I'm going to download the demo and fuck around with it this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.

    What do you do when..........

    I tried FL Studio 4 years ago and hated it, got rid of it and tried a couple other things. I actually have gone back to FL Studio and realized if I just took the time to learn how to use it 4 years ago I would've been cool.

    Does your evolve/ Have you evolved your style?

    This is a dope post. I'm still in the process of developing my production "sound". I started off messing with samples, and always getting a melody down before putting in drums. I didn't understand how or why heads did their drums first. Lately, I lay down the drums first. I started doing...

    On a more serious note...

    I'm a emcee/producer so I probably have a different take then most. In my production. I make a beat that is reflective of how I feel at the moment. If I just argued with wifey the beat has a dark angry feel to it. If I just played Dora The Explorer with my daughter the beat is uptempo and...

    Alternative rap in the South

    why are you so salty? You keep saying you live in da ATL while pointing out that I don't. Put me on the game. Who's hot. I'll be sure to check them out. I'm serious on that tip. I've always been receptive to all kinds of music. When I meet people in or from other cities I always ask them to...

    Alternative rap in the South

    So what's the purpose of your post? If it was to occupy the thoughts of a fellow Illmuzik member while he was at work so time would fly by.... then thank you. Me and you tend to disagree on everything, but it's enjoyable going at it.

    Alternative rap in the South

    I don't live in Atlanta. Please enlightened me and put me on to some ATL music that is diverse. I already got everything the Dungeon Fam has put out. So who's really doing it. Who's making innovative music. Also, Aesop Rock is on an independent label. He sells cd's at his shows. He's doing...

    Alternative rap in the South

    Re-read your statment. What's missing? Hip Hop music and innovation, save for Outkast and a few others. You are hailing "dance" music and clubs. What about the streets? What about homeboys driving in their Lac's? Gangsta's don't dance, 'member? What about some old fashioned head nod sh!t...

    What do you do when..........

    This may not be the answer you want, but just chill. You have to give yourself time to learn your equiptment. Otherwise your creativity will be limited. Take a couple weeks, or a month were you don't worry about the end product but just learn what your equiptment is capable of and how to...

    Great Dre article

    Props on the post. Great read. I've noticed that ultra-successful people have tunnel vision when it comes to their goals. With Dre it's his family, music and working out. If it doesn't involve those three things, he's not fucking with it. I've been through some shit lately, I've recently...

    Alternative rap in the South

    Heads in the ATL need to look at what's happened to New York. Atlanta is quickly becoming a mockery of itself. Hip Hop in general is becoming a mockery of itself. In all regions.

    Aesop Rock "None Shall Pass"

    Shows how fucked up the game is... Half the battle of moving units is getting people to know you exist. If MTV/BET had a diverse playlist more units would be sold. Instead we get the same 10 terrible videos shoved down our throat. Same ten songs on the radio rotating. Record sales are...

    Aesop Rock "None Shall Pass"

    Dope album. His last two albums were a little shaky, good to see he's back on track. "Getaway Car" is a banger!
