    Rex loops

    I just gave someone a beat that I made way back, and I just realized last night that back then I'd used a Rex loop for the percussion. I feel like an idiot... the guy insists that he doesn't want it changed, but I feel like I'm rippin someone off. What do you guys suggest I do?

    where do you go to sell your beats?

    Sup H&R... goin to school in New Haven next year. Is there a decent scene there? Are there some good artists in New Haven? Congrats on being successful. I know that certain artists will listen to anything that comes in as long as it is solicited. 50 takes shit from random ass people who never...

    Got any clients that are just plain HARD WORKERS?

    thing is, if a guy can work hard, he can get better. He can learn how to write hooks. Maybe even become a Lil' John type "artist"... that guy made millions by screaming. I know that era of Southern music might be over, but it's not impossible for a guy with less talent but huge drive to make it...

    Just Blaze or D-Dot - whose jacking who?

    Just Blaze is definately top. Knowing Puffy he got jealous and had someone rip it. I could be wrong. In any case, Jay Z's track is hot.

    Is This Trade Worth It

    Absolutely nothing's a waste of time. But in this industry which is changing very quickly, and with album sales slowing down, you'll have to be the best to make money the way some producers have in the past. If it's your goal to be in this, you gotta do it 100%. It will be very hard, and chances...

    How Do You Deal with School and BeatMaking?

    I haven't slept more than 4 hours (other than when I go out on weekends and get wasted and end up sleeping in), in about 6 years. If it's really important to you, it is possible to make time. At one point I used to practice in my basement until 3am, then chill out till like 5 and skip my first...

    Which type of music do you sample the most?

    I like to sample anything I think is cool, but I get most of inspiration from classical. I know a lot about this kind of music, so I like to use stuff from composers the average person has never heard of like Sibelius, Nielsen, Prokofiev etc...

    How much do they make?

    I've done SATs and I definately have no clue how you found out you had the highest score in the state. I have friends at Princeton and MIT who got 1600 and no one told them what ranking or whatever they had. Not to mention on the new test, collegeboard didn't show anything like that for my...

    Selling for cash

    Have any of you ever just sold some beats for cash? If you don't care about the beats at all (even find them a bit embarrasing), would you just straight up sell them for cash to someone who wants them? I know you'd never do that for most shit, and you'd get a contract and an entertainment lawyer...

    Sanova... chill. I guarantee that my english is better than yours. I'm sure you think that you're very intelligent, but that laughable little "diss", (if you're into Frasier, "pseudo intellectual drivel" is the phrase he'd use), was really quite pathetic. I'm sure you're the king of your...

    How much do they make?

    It's alright man... Nas can't spell for shit but his ideas are huge and very important in American culture. I'm just saying, if you going to go to school, spelling will be important.

    How much do they make?

    Well, I'd tell any family member who wants to pursue education that spelling is a part of it. If you handed in a paper to any professor at any school anywhere on the planet and the grammar and syntax were anything like the above, then you'd hear a lot worse. I know this is a hip hop site and the...

    Changing the name on the I-pod

    Ok, so your auntie isn't stupid, she isn't a thief, but she's got no manners, that's for damn sure. That's why I don't stay at cheap hotels.
