    General production starting...

    Thanks Fade...much love man. It wont be easy, it's just daunting cause you come to a forum like this and everyone seems to have just acquired all this knowledge of how to produce and all of ya'll must have started at the same level I'm at, not really knowing what to do. Hey you never know....I...

    Ayo...theres always the option of setting up shop. Become a business man and try and sell your shit. MP3.com, Soundclick.com...where ever. Sell it online, sell it offline, make beat CD's to sell, put together a mixtape, if you got all the beats together....you got the world at your finger tips...

    General production starting...

    Ok, I've looked through search and stuff and nothins really helped me and this is prolly gonna gather me some dislike but it can't hurt to ask. Basically, I rap and obviously after a while you get to the point in which you can no longer use beats from MP3.com for legal reasons. So you decide to...

    Who is Hip Hop a Way of Life to?

    I agree that there is a line between living and doing. Cope put it exactly right...hiphop is a culture. Anyone that breaks, raps, DJ's, tags, etc can say they are a part of the hiphop culture because they are activly partaking in a form of hiphop. I am a firm believer in the culture aspect...

    livest line you ever heard.

    A few of my fave lines off the top of my head are.... Ceplth-Titled - "We make headlines like cordoroid pillows" Royce da 5'9" - "Card shuffles, numbers to bet, disrespect and get a new smile under ya neck" Deacon the villan - "To be beside myself, I need god next to me" Kno - "sales...

    Shittiest Rap Song On Radio

    Nah...it ain't cool and I agree...it pisses me off. I've heard various cats in internet battles rip off Celph-titled's 'kill and unborn baby and still couldn't de-fetus' line and on the commerical level theres all kinds of crazy. But the worse case of jacking I've ever heard is this dude called...

    Freestyle Frenzy or am I crazy?

    Damn, I recently heard of a gathering of US and UK hiphop artists called 'Freestyle Frenzy' (I believe). I hadn't heard of them until I recently found out they had like a 14 minute track. This might not seem to amazing to you until you see the line up of emcees... Masta Ace, Wordsworth...

    Shittiest Rap Song On Radio

    Ayo, Truth told...I have a feeling the whole Hail Mary jacking was actually done to make a point to Ja Rule...because Ja Rule seems to have gone insane and believes he's 2Pac. So Em, 50 and Busta thought it'd be ammusing to diss him to Hail Mary....besides...diss tracks aren't all that important...

    Jay Dee

    Dammit...I love runnin'....I heard that shit way back and completely forgot about it until recently when it popped onto some show on MTV and was like...DAMN...I gotta download that. However, a couple of lil production gems not by Jay Dee....But I still adore include: The Life (Styles P and...

    What is Hip Hop in its True form??

    Hiphop to be accurate is the 4 elements of DJing, emceeing, Breakdancing and Graff art. I've partaken in all of those on a large scale (except Graffiti). However...thats just what hiphop is...I feel that true hiphop is doing it because you love it...because your being true to it for the simple...

    Def Jam Vandetta

    Yeah...its a cool game. My friend rented it and obviously I was there right away playin' it to. I'm not an overally big fan of the Def Jam roster (except maybe Meth, Red and Ghostface) but I think this actually what of the more enjoyable wrestling style games in the market. There ain't much...

    Shittiest Rap Song On Radio

    Gotta agree with inrctyhoodmusic...can't hate on a track thats got some real meaning to it. I'd rather hear a song warning young girls about HIV than being told that its hot in herre so I should take off all my clothes or hearing Ashanti's inchorent ramblings (in which she'll say the word 'baby'...

    Bombs over Baghdad

    The whole war seemed suspect to me...what were the reasons? Get Saddam out of power? Take the oil supply? Superiority complex that he had to do what his father couldn't? Make it seem like he's actually doing something about his 'war on terrorisim'? I really don't know...but, the real...

    Royce the5'9 better than Eminem

    Interesting debate...I'ma big fan of both Eminem and Royce. In fact, it was Eminem that really introduced me to who Royce was through the Slim Shady LP on 'Bad meets evil'...I was feelin' Royce from the 1st time I heard it. It'd be unfair to comment on who's better, Scary Movies, Bad meets...

    dopest hip-hop duo... ever?

    Hmmm....there are a few. Method man and Redman for straight up hijinks and hillairty. Real entertaining, both dope with their lyrics with contrasting delievery styles makes em perfect. They're like the 2 guys everyone wants to hang out with....Plus, I was deff feeling the Blackout album. Then...

    what do you think of RJD2?????

    Yeah....he's tight. I'm feeling his ish, although I haven't bought Horror, I've been considering it and was just wondering if it was worth copping. But what I've heard of him...he produces brilliance. Cunninlynguists and Master Aces track 'Seasons' was completely blaze. If its worth gettin' his...

    That was dope...

    Just thought I'd share this with anyone thats interested. I just saw DJ Skully (has worked with Canibus, Celph Titled, Jehst, etc) do a set in a local record shop and it was off the chain. He was doin' a routine cuttin' up the beats of 'I can' and he was doin' mad scratchin' over Royces 'My...

    Freestyle....

    Freestylin'....like a majority of the hiphop scene apears to have just become another commerical marketing tool. Its a way that rappers are able to get onto mixtapes, compilation CD's and the radio and keep their names fresh in the mind of the consumer and obviously they cant afford to look...
