    I HATE Hip Hop!

    I'm feeling you Stress. I remember the days when I was in high school and I would cop 2 tapes every 2 weeks. Will it be the EPMD, Lord Finesse, Brand Nubian, or De La? Cats aint buying albums no more! We have to buy the dope ish when it does come out and stop downloading it on the internet or...

    Who do you feel is on top of the game right now?

    I agree wit most of yall on the board. The game is pretty open. 50 may have a nice spot for himself but it's definitely still wide open. Would love to see Dead Prez blow, waiting for that Pete Rock Soul Survivors II. To be honest, I would like to see one of us take the spot in the...

    Eminem' Production

    N.U.G., you're absolutely right. I guess if we all go with the presumption that a true producer plays all the instruments on a track, I guess Quincy Jones, maybe one of the greatest in the game, is not a true producer and he didn't play not one note on "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" by Michael...

I use FL Studio, Cool Edit Pro 2, and a FREE program called Soundplant 26.1. you can play chopped up drums, samples on your keyboard (the one I'm typing on) and record in say, cool edit. It's NICE. go to http://www.soundplant.org and download it. You can read all the...

    You must try this software sampler. It turns your computer keyboard into a fully customizable sample-triggering device. You can use up to 72 keyboard keys, with low latency. Drag and drop .wav files onto keyboard keys. You can easily batch assign the same sound to multiple keys at varying...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    Good point about mc hammer I will say this; dre can't chop like preemo (not too many people can), however, preemo can't produce elaborate live hip hop music the way dre does. I'll even go this far; Premiere is top notch at making beats. However, in my opinion, Dr. Dre is better at...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    To me, Dr. Dre is the best. He fuckin defined a decade - the 90's. How many freakin producers can say they had rnb producers bitin his ish (Teddy Riley for example) And he's still going. Dre broke more artist than preemo. Nobody including preemo can say they did that. Not taking anything away...

    Sampling MP3's

    yo, i like this subject cause i've been sampling from mp3's for a while (usually at 128k). I've even sampled from online streamed album previews! it all depends what you're sampling and the feel you're going for.

    Eminem' Production

    thats true bigd, I didn't think of it like that.

    Eminem' Production

    I like a very small handful of his tracks, Moment of Clarity w/Jay-z being one of them. He has a very dark sound and I, like many of you, am not too convinced. On the subject of a producer playing instruments and all, I think it depends. I agree with what one of you said that if you're not...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    true indeed. no doubt - preemo is ill - no doubt about that. preemo, 45king, diamond d, neptunes - to me all are ill. but don't get it twisted - preemo is eatin - he aint't exactly giving beats away for free now. NOT THAT HE SHOULD. HE DESERVES TO EAT.I think they all do it to eat but you...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    I'm talking song structure more so. Preemo and the rest have definitely taken it to the next level. Without James - no disco, no modern day RnB as we know it, definitely no P-Funk and George Clinton will tell you that. Even some of Bob James and that 70's Jazz - like Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd and...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    Oh, and one last thing. If you really want to get right to it. NONE OF THESE PRODUCERS (PREEMO, NEPTUNES, TIMBALAND - ANY PRODUCER IN HIPHOP AND RNB) WOULD BE WHO THEY ARE IF IT WASN'T FOR JAMES BROWN. NOBODY - AND I MEAN NOBODY HAS INFLUENCED DISCO, RNB, HIP HOP, AND EVEN ROCK MORE THAN JAMES...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    Neptunes and Preemo do 2 different styles of production. I would'nt compare the 2 anyway, but admit that both are talented in what they do. They're both musicians in their own right. That's all I'll say on this issue. Everybody mentioned in this thread that makes beats is talented in what they...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    look, everybody is entitled to their opinion. And I respect it. But in my opinion, you can't tell me that what lil jon, neptunes, or guys like that is not real hip hop. At the very least, it's hip hop inspired music. You have to give them that. And if it's not hip hop, what is it? RnB? Country...

    ok here is a poll BEST PRODUCER of hiphop currently

    lil jon is "real" hip hop timbaland is "real" hip hop neptunes is "real" hip hop preemo, pete rock, diamond d (by the way, him and 45 king are also one of my favorites) All these guys are "real" hip hop. Hip hop music is diverse, has no rules musically and we have to stop saying because a...
