    More food for thought for the "XXXX is ruining hip hop" topics

    does anyone ever realize that those of use who will actually go on to careers in hip hop- and i'm sorry, everyone on here wont- but for those of us who will actually move on to a real career in hip hop, i'm sure we'll be held accountable for our words at some point. if/when i "make it", i...

    Crunk/pop/commercialism ruining hip hop? some food for thought, people.

    heres anopther perspective. i will use Illmuzik's own, J-Malice. Now here is a man who is determined to make commercial, radio, mtv driven hip hop- and he doesnt step around that and is perfectly fine with that choice. i personally do not dig his style- it simply doesnt appeal to me. i do...

    Any DISadvantages to having 240 gigs of hard drive space?

    my 80 gig hard drive is just about full. i am looking to add a second, since i am adding some new vst instruments, and a few of them are rather large.... so, i decided to get myself a nice 160 gig drive since it costs the same as the 120 drive. yes, i know- overkill and all that, but i am...

    So, i am listening to the instrumental for Snoop's "G'd Up"

    And for the first time realized how dope that beat is. i dont listen to gangsta rap at all. but growing up in southern california, you cant help but develop a taste for it at least a little bit. but this is just a dope beat,period. i personally prefer east coast, sampled, boom bap kind of...

    The new eric sermon is dope... the sleeper album of the year.

    danm, this album came out of nowhere.... i havent heard anything about it at all... but its a dope album. there really isnt a weak track or verse to be heard on the whole thing. even the skits seem to be thoughtfully done. its also a very cohesive album, a rarity these days. its just a hip...

    New George Benson! OMG!

    george benson just dropped a new single! i am stunned. it is a little cheesy, but then "nothings gonna change my love for yoo" was corny too. i am still excited that he has new material. this song, "cell phone" would have blown in the 80's....

    Please Explain: Digital Output, SDIF, USB, Etc...

    what are all of these outputs i am seeing on all these machines.what are their functions? i am under the impression that the usb digital output would allow me, for instance, to use it as a means of sending sound files to and from my computer- but if i had sequenced a 10 track song on, say...
