I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any producers in the game right now(THATS GOT A TRACK ON SOMEONES ALBUM THAT I MIGHT HAVE)? I know in SCRATCH MAG. They always list the producers gear in toolbox section of the intvw/article---only got a few issues and havent seen mpc-1000 yet. I know primo still uses a 60 II( and he got an s-950), as well as a lot of producers out there.... so if anyone got any info post it....Thanx...................."the 808 kick drum, makes the girleeez get dumb....."

Well, the older MPC lacked sample time...so it was common to link them...1000s though... maybe he uses one for sequencing everything and another for sampling... or he uses two of them live... who knows.

that's cool. doseone signed my mpc, actually, at a 13 and God show. i wanted to get jel to sign it, but he is a loner. dose is a little social butterfly so he drew some cryptic symbol on the underside of my sampler and we talked for a little while. he's a really nice guy, incredibly positive and cheerful. some of his family was at that show, actually, which was cool to see.

13 and god puts on an incredible, incredible show, i highly recommend you all see if it you get a chance, even if you despise anticon. 13 and god is something beyond anticon-hip hop...i think all of those artists have moved past their strange, controvercial beginnings (except sole).

anyway, go see 13 and god. it's just plain incredible from a production standpoint as well as a live electronics show.

Some dude (Disco D?) did a track on 50 Cent's "The Massacre" album rocks a 1000. He's posted on these forums a couple times.

I know that Denaun Porter (AKA Mr. Porter) from D12 at least owns a 1000.

That was actually a MPD16 not an MPC1000. The MPC1000 is the higest selling MPC to date.

MPC Foe Life!
