So, i just had a PM conversation with Jin.... 9yes, that Jin)
I'm with you on that. Jin's presence helped Asians a bit, but it will just take a little more time for Asians to blow up on the scene. Peeps from Uptown been bringin heat for a while albeit without much fame in the U.S., Lyrics Born is hot right now, and Drunken Tiger is on tour with Wu Tang...- M!nd_Ctrl

rappable beats?
Meaning the beat is telling a story that the rapper can feel and base his/her lyrics on. I think I was getting off subject. I think this thread deals more with form, complexity and timing. Ctrl -
rappable beats?
Is it that some beats are just better to tell a story or send a message in a rap versus just not coinciding with the purpose of the story or message? -

I quit smokin weed yesterday!
I "quit" about once a year or so for about a few months before I abuse it again. I just can't stay away. I try substituting alcohol, but it's not the same. I make music to keep my mind off of it, but yearn for that different mind state to analyze my beats with. I need to get my mind...- M!nd_Ctrl

rappable beats?
What makes a beat rappable or not? Timing? Instruments? Drums? Is it a personal style? Are you saying that peeps here don't make Hip Hop up to industry standards? Please enlighten me. I can see if the snares or instruments were off beat or something like that but shouldn't a "good" rapper... -
I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?
When Hip Hop first began peeps were lifting drums and melodies straight from other artists without changing a thing, but a new essence was creating in combining the sounds. I agree that it's good for people to change samples up to make them theirs, but this is something that we, the new... -
im drunk. so peep the logic if you will
What exactly are you saying? You basically ended saying that race doesn't determine the type of person you are...right? I'm White and can't stand many White peeps too, but I know I can't categorize ANY race. Ctrl.- M!nd_Ctrl

Hip Hop at the moment = boring
Ryth, I do agree that Hip Hop is at a low point right now, but I don't care if Hip Hop has beef. Actually I think beef takes away from the music. Today, it's just a way to sell records. I never liked Jay too much especially after listening to the acapella version of the Black Album, he may...- M!nd_Ctrl

Does making beats lessen your pure enjoyment...
I break everything down too. Actually, I've tried to separate the instruments in my head for since I was about 15. It doesn't ruin the enjoyment for me though. Ctrl -

U be a Judge
I think some people act that way, but deep down in side they still listen to mainstream Hip Hop. But, then again there are truly peeps that hate mainstream stuff. A lot of the rappers we know as mainstream came from the underground scene, they were pushing records on the streats before...- M!nd_Ctrl
