    I dont see whats wrong with sampling Premier's snare if you like the way the snare sounds. I do it all the time. I made an awesome kit from the last Roots cd.

    Intelligence and making beats...

    I told a trumpet player, " You took the time to learn how to spit into a brass pipe. I took the time to learn how to bang on rubber pads". Sure there is more to it but playing a trumpet is considered art because society says it is. A lot of musicians are essentially just instruments when it...

    What is "Real" Hip Hop?

    Yo its that real shit son, naw mean B? That New York 5 borrough shit son! LoL. I was told this by a guy from Queens. He told me he didnt listen to any rap that doesnt come from New York.

    36 Mafia wins an OSCAR!!

    I read an article a while back where Juicy J said they chose the name 3 6 maffia because he and DJ Paul thought it would draw attention to them. He denied any involvement in any Satanic, beliefs or rituals. On a personal note I recognize the quality of 3 6 production, but lyrically they are...

    What should I make my beats on ? MOTIF ES6 and Roland R-8 MKII Human Rhythm Composer

    Good advice. I had that r-8 back in the day and once I got an asr-10 i sampled all the sounds I needed from it. Plus the sequencer is mad ancient.

    Check These Out !!

    All that crap and they couldnt fit in some drum pads? Would there be some type of legal issues if this actually can clone other synths. They could just sell the software for that and make a killing.

    How did you learn to make beats?

    I used to dj, and got one of those mixers with an 8 second sampler. then a roland r8 and a fostex 4track tape recorder. Move up to an asr-10, asrx pro, emu mp7, then finally soundforge and fl studio.

    Beat Blocked

    Finding new samples, digging or new sounds, making new drumkits. These are sure fire remedies for a beat block.

    Vinyl VS. MP3

    hunting for vinyl is very time consuming, not to mention finding quality vinyl. I dont fight technology I incorporated into my beat making. Filter it eq you wont know the difference. Its the sample itself thats most important.

    My Advice to Young Aspiring Artists....

    Word I agree. But the thing that really is shocking or sad is the total rejection of intellect, or abstract thought. Its cool to be dumb.

    ludacris Got J.malice for a beat

    The strings on the just blaze version are the same strings he used on Joe Buddens "jump off". Yeah if the situation went down the way you say it did, well thats kind of shiesty. The Blaze version got more of a head nod to it.

    I have a seriouse problem, need help.

    Word I understand. On the real you will see a lot more "home producers", beat makers etc. being able to compose a complete song as apposed to "musicians". Im not sure what it is maybe being caught in the whole obssession with improvisation. Ive been in studios with musicians and they will be...

    I have a seriouse problem, need help.

    Ive seen this done before, especially if your using samples. I know its expensive but you really need to get a lawyer, since it seems you dont have a relationship with these people. Interesting thing is if they get musicians to come in and replay the songs and there is someone else supervising...
