    I give hip-hop about 6-10 more years in the mainstream a lot of the mainstream Rap is club music there's more focus on a simplistic track and a hook than anything. You have Dancehall becoming popular I think soon there will be no need for verses all that will be needed is a hook and a danceable...

    Sampling Drums

    A lot of times I'll use preset drums first then sample drum sounds later and fill those in because I don't want to lose Ideas. I have a couple of drumsets so sometimes I'll sample snares bassdrums hi hats from my set and use that in tracks but it takes me a while to get the samples to sound...

    Is Hip Hop becoming like Jazz?

    I don't think eblue was comparing the two as forms of of music but more comparing the two in it's history. If you compare the history, hip-hop is a lot like jazz during the bebop time you also had artists like Louis jordan who's music was still considered jazz but was the beggining of R&B, and...

    NAS & ILL WILL RECORDS TO SIGN CANIBUS!!!

    Yeah Cannibus is one of the best lyrically but he's not gonna be able to sell to the mainstream he just won't sound right over a club track. Plus Canibus is horrible at choosing tracks. He said in an interview he'll rhyme over anything and he can't tell whether a beat is hot or not. Somebody...

    R&B??????

    People say the same thing to me but most of the people who say this don't know much about music or are just beggining to M.C. and think tracks should all sound a certain way. Most good M.C.'s are looking for a track to bring the best out of them, of course rappers don't wanna rhyme over slow...

    The Prince Hall Freemasons aren't real freemason's supposedly they tried to copy what they saw the white freemasons doing. They have little affiliation with actual freemasons. It's too much of a coincidence that most of the American Presidents have been Freemasons including the first president...
