i dont get why people get so hyped about his baselines i mean they're hot but he aint Jaco.


Now Kev's Basslines are dope for real homie.

Reference songs "economics" Baby Blak , "How I Do" Shawn Stockman ,"Power Bars" Grap Luv and "Brown Liquor" instrumental. He's a monster on the basslines.

but again it's all on our opinions.


POWER BARS is my favorite kev track, the bassline is so dope. the snare in that is nice too.that whole song is ill.

Stop being silly. Why do you people dis your own art form?? This Hip Hop self hatred is the really problem. If you don't like sampling, why bother to listen to the genre?? Do you'd surprized about your favorite "I try not to sample artist" sources!

just dig and find you own samples.
create your own drums and develop your own style.

don't copy kev brown, just blaze, dj premier, j dilla etc.
nobody wants to hear "it sounds like kev brown" and nobody wants another j dilla.

so be creative and f.ck what the rest is doing

Man f*ck that shit, I hate this whole so-called "purist" mentality. Some of you don't know what it means to be a "purist". There is a difference from being a "purist" and being a "fanatic". I will sample drums from anywhere! If I hear drums on a hip hop or r&b record or whatever, I'm eating them shits as long as its in good taste. For example I would not eat Q-tips drums on "Give up the goods" because thats not in good taste, but I will eat the drums in the beginning to "distortion to static" freak em, and I bet you would be like "damn kid you got them drums rocking!" I will sample drum sounds from anywhere to get the job done. However I am a true "purist" I dig for drums just has hard as your favorite producer, but not because its "part of the rules" but because motherf*ker, I want to have as many drums as possible in my arsenal. No matter where they came from. You think your favorite producers weren't sampling from the "Strictly breaks" records??? You think they all had the Melvin Bliss and Honeydrippers 45's??? Hahaha you dudes make me laugh. Yo don't let these dude's steer you wrong. As long as you study this culture, pay your dues, get your fingers dusty, and respect the architects your good. Do what you gotta do, and prosper. Peace

in my opinion if you were writing an essay and you wanted to reference a great author you would quote the ORIGINAL text and not a quote of a quote.
get me?

if you were a great collage artist you would never cut out an image from another collage artists work and put it in yours - unless you were commenting on that work.

we may be beating a dead horse here but I had to get that off my chest.

yeah, i wouldent sample from another hip hop artist. and i wouldent even sample from another sample artist like an ambient techno dude. cause they took all that time to find thier sample and sample them, its like just taking thier finished project and using it, when you should really start out from scratch just like they did.
