Has anybody been listening to Blue Dream & Lean? It's nice to have a break from Luger beats but all the same, it's like Rubba Band Business 1 & 2. You have stand out tracks but there are some lulls. Nothing will beat "Pussy Between Yo Legs" though. I leave you with this taste of the tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TzkHicCWYg

It's weird that this is the same Juicy J as old Three 6 Mafia Juicy J.

Derv1sh posted:I think it's fair to say Phrenology and Game Theory were low points, but Rising Down, How I Got Over and the latest disc are very, very good albums. They don't have the same feel as the early stuff with Malik, but they still stand up to other discs released at the same time. IMO, How I got over is the very definition of a sleeper. The more I listen to it, especially PORN's flow on Walk Alone, the better it gets. I actually liked the intro.. @Agreed: as far as "instrumentation" being a gimmick, what do you mean?

There are people who (usually don't like rap, but) think that they've got something really special because they play instruments, unlike other rappers who just steal pieces of real music. It's a lovely viewpoint and the wikipedia sourced statement introducing them as "famed for still including live instruments" or something to that effect is 15 years old, so I'd hope that it's not seen as invalidating other rappers, just what they're on. Legitimate and cool, not better than "just because" though.

Nahhh, I always give mad props for artists that actually play instruments at their shows.. That's what music is.. I mean don't get me wrong, I love hip-hop, but it is (nowadays anyway) a genre overrun with samples and people that don't even bother learning anything other than how to chop other people's music to their liking

Producers have been shying away from samples since hiphop started. I'd say this is the lowest point for samples, outside of maybe break beats or if you are someone like Kanye with a huge budget. Note: Mixtapes don't count as they aren't commercial and you can't sell them without getting into a poo poo load of trouble.

Some producers will record a band and then chop it up instead of digging though, I know off the top of my head that Pimp C and Ant have done this for some stuff

I also think that a lot of producers have also started going outside the traditional sources for sampling in a lot of new music. It's not all old jazz/soul/funk anymore.

This is true too. The Block Beattaz are a great example of producers who pull samples from all over the place. I'd actually say breakbeats are in worse shape than sampling as a whole since programmed drum patterns can go so far beyond what used to be possible

Basically what I wanted to say was a lot of artists don't take the time to learn how to play an instrument anymore because it's easier to use a VST or sample to produce the same result.

I like a few ASAP Rocky tracks but on the whole, credit where it's due the production is fantastic but it stands in contrast to pretty mediocre lyricism, and his flow seems kind of dated for someone being held up as next poo poo. His A/B/C/D/G lines in that one song were killer, but that seems like what he does, he's got a lot of just eehhh it's alright and then something kills but after that, back to just alright.Roymega posted:Why take my words out of context like that? I didn't imply that at all.. The history of "rappers just use _______, they should play real instruments" is kinda racist. There's a term for it that gets used, "rockist," because it diminishes the effort and legitimacy of hip-hop and sampling (which has a really rich history, you should check out the kind of effort that used to go into combing through record shops for old funk and soul records especially, finding a great, rare record could mean having a seriously hot beat) and promotes REAL musicians instead. But sampling is a form of musical expression. You don't just end up with the same thing that you had before, it's a new synthesis of the sample, everything around it, and the rapper's vocals. Sampling is an art form too, the tools have gotten more sophisticated but that's true of every other musical field too except classical, where it's sort of genre-bound to stay the same minus some experimental folks (e.g. the interesting experiments done with heavily curved bows under the inference that they were likely considered when a piece was composed). Since there is a history of discrimination wrapped up in the language used to diminish sampling, expect reactions like (maybe not that extreme, it's alansmithee, but with the same basic premise) when you say things like that. You're not a shithead just because you said something uncool, but it's an opportunity to learn why that's not so accurate

Right, I understand that.. I wasn't trying to say that sampling isn't a legit way of making music, I produce myself, so I understand a lot of what goes into producing good music.. I just don't appreciate when words are put in my mouth so-to-speak. Guess I just gotta get to know the posters a little better

Figure this is the best place to ask: I picked up a used copy of 808s and Heartbreak in the summer, and a few days ago it finally registered that "poo poo" in the cut with Lil Wayne is censored. I then went through the album and I couldn't fine a single other instance of a swear word. I was pissed that I accidentally bought an edited version of the album, but after looking online, I'm a little confused. Is there only a clean version of 808s and Heartbreak? Edit: I actually think its cool if the album was clean originally, I just don't want to realize I have an edited version and half the lyrics are wrong.

But back when I bought those in the 90s, it was obvious if they were uncensored or not, and I knew drat well where to buy and where not to buy (  WalMart and your too good to be true prices for the Above the Rim Soundtrack). With 808s, I honestly can't tell if he purposefully censored one word to release the album as clean.

I don't know if someone already posted about this and I really don't give a poo poo but...went to see Hov & Kanye last night. As I go through the videos and watch the crowd's reaction as Jay raps Pimp C's verse in "Big Pimpin" and ends it at "What chall know about them Texas boyz!" I realized it was definitely worth the loving price. I wish I was in Houston for that poo poo! ...on another note I must have been under a drat rock to not notice Styles put out an album so I'll definitely be checking that out soon. Anyone know if Kiss has another album in the works? John Brown fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Dec 8, 2011 |
