    criticism

    Damn you are probably on a ledge somewhere by now with all the post you just got. LOL Stay up though fam, I took the time to decode it and read it. I see your point. There is a lot more hate than constructive critique nowadays, unfortunately sometimes even in my favorite place in the world...

    mpc 1000 or mv-8000?

    It aint always the machine, its the man ( in misscc's case the woman ) behind it. Its been said on here a million times but, alot of cats have 10's of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and suck ass like R. Kelly on his sex tape. Then you got Johnny Basement cranking out fire with far...

    8 months and 0 beats made.

    Yo grab those 45's and I bet you find something that lights that fire again, it could be a simple loop that you chop the hell out of and its on. I know when I get in a funk, I just grab the turntable and start sampling like crazy. I find that one piece that I slice and dice and goodbye muddy...

    music or lyrics first

    I usuallly like to do the music 1st and then the lyrics just so it fits better alot of times. Sometimes when I work with cats that come with a notebook, it never really jells until they pick up the vibe of the beat and run wit it.

    Do you Get HiGh???

    No smoke for the kid, cancer kills muthfunkas!! I do take my liq up to the penthouse with me (the Lab) and zone out with my DVD's (no sound) pick a vibe from the actors on the screen and run wit it!! Yo I do get a buzz from the beats sometimes, when I got that snare sounding like .45 and all...

    When is it time to call it enough?

    I would say just make sure you are leaving enough room for the artist, singer or rapper to move around. Its just like coloring a picture, you dont use every crayon just because you got em. Just put together what works and its all good fam.

    Melody v.s. Beat

    I usually start with the beat, then pour a melody on it. You can freak it either way though. I look at it kinda corny like this, my beat is the bed I gotta make all nice and neat so I can lay melody down with her fine azz so she will feel at home. If all that happens, then just like ya boy Vik...

    Copyright question

    ^^^^^^^^ True As much as I got beat the hell up for asking questions that I could have found by searching forums, alot of the answers are just a search away.

    Beat representin?

    I know a cat here that actually wanted co-production credit for submitting my beats with a known cat in the industry for placement. He basically tried to justify it by saying that way, you dont have to come out of your pocket. WTF!?! Muthafunka please! I aint trying to hate on you, but yo I...

    Hearing the Lows

    No doubt I agree, when I was recording downstairs in my house, the room was so small the sub was annoying. Now that I record upstairs, the size of the room and those wood floors make a world of difference.

    Hearing the Lows

    I bought a sub right after I did a session at a professional studio, I didnt realize that I was making it harder on myself at the crib not having one when I mixed. Gotta have it.
