    The Post-Caribana Thread

    So, for those that don't know...only the largest Caribbean festival in North America rolled through Toronto's streets about two weeks ago. It was wicked this year. The past couple of years were tame after the whole SARS incident, but this year it was full fyah again just like in old times...

    Why is it?

    I used to over at FutureProducers...comparing them to us is like comparing Springer to Dr. Phil. It's all cussin' and bitin' over there. Here you actually learn something and peope her are acutally making moves. There's no haterism here, which is nice.

    What is the MOST amount of MONEY you have made/earned from your MUSIC?

    I've made enough to pay off all the outstanding bills on my equipment and to soup up my Lexus LS400. Now any money that comes in is profit. Most of the loot came from scoring commercials, independent films and selling beats. It's nice not to see that credit card statement anymore.

    music trademarks

    Here's one no one mentioned yet...Madlib. The clips he uses from old movies and TV are a little bit long sometimes but they are ill still. So who was down in the Dot for Caribana this year?

    McDonalds Hip hop Fashion?

    I always thought of McDonalds as a life-taking brand, not a lifestyle brand. I saw the movie Super Size Me and saw how one month's worth of MickeyD's fucked the filmmaker's body up. When you see McDonalds jumping on the exploitation of Hip-Hop as a marketing tool, you know it's definitely...

    awful tunrtable buzz/hum

    Holmz, you should have a grounding screw on the back of your 4000. Run the grounding wire from the turntable to that screw on the back of the unit and you should be straight.

    Speaches, court cases, and other spoken sound bites

    Hook your sampler up to your television or VCR and sample from right off the History Channel or court Tv or something. That's how I do it.

    c'mon Nardo was banned too fast

    Jesus, is that what he meant? Looks like Narco could benefit from some ESL classes. (English as a Second Language).

    Why do you produce?

    "Why do you produce?" Because I'm chasing a dream and so is my crew. We're all classically trained musicians that got tired of playing the classics; so we left music...only to return to it years later in different roles then when we left. Instead of two piano players and three brass...

    So..my beat was stolen and given to Dipset....

    One of my friends is a junior partner in an IP law firm. I can ask him what your remedies are but I'm up in Toronto, Canadian IP/C law might be different than down in the States. He's told me not to ever post any compositions I make on the Internet because you have no saveguards against...

    Reggaeton...

    Daddy Yankee...boy...I don't know what to say about that guy. The only sound I respect...or for that matter even know about is El Chombo. His Cuentos de la Cripta series is ok, even humorous at times, but he's collaborated with sound system originals like Stonelove, and Killamanjaro and he has...

    What scales do you use? (keyboard)

    Diminished chords are great too, they give you that jazzy feel. C and G Minor diminished are great for jazz sounding tunes. I like all the minor chords in general, it's somber and serious and ominous.

    just got the motif rack es

    I better get over to my supplier and see what the price is, I didn't know the ES rack was in retail already. That means that the original rack must be dirt cheap.

    What to Look For When Shopping For Vinyls to Sample

    I'll pick up anything that's unusual; something that I would think people would overlook. Records like those are usually ill.

    You guys can stop producing now...

    A great unit Class, you'll love the ease of use on the X Rack.

    WOW. this is the craziets- most realistic theory on 9/11 yet..

    My history books show me that empires have only done one thing throughout history; rise and fall. It happened with Rome, it happened with England, and now it's America's turn. The part I don't like is seeing the government driving the nation towards oblivion with war and weapons and...
