You would have to have heard "Rhythmalism" lp to know what I'm takeing about...Peace

Dre -Greatest Hip-Hop producer, his track record speaks for itself since the **** 80's this ***** has been in the game longer than LL and stayed on top the whole time

Timbo
Rza

I like some a lotta others but these dudes inspired me to do this rap shit

dre
primo

im listening to alot of do or die, type ish, tryin to produce for fellas on that vibe.i personally like the east coast sample shit though!

I HATE IT WHEN I Swing my fellas some classic, good sample shit....and they are like, i want it to sound like this: all that midwest fast hihat shit! and they pass those beats up! :lol: haha

nothing wrong with it, i luv it too, but kids now a days are skipping past the classics and straight to the new shit. People ride a dick and think they have to stay on top of whats hot, but dont realize that you gotta put out good shit, and thats how you stay on top....not that any of its bad (dont want to start an argument) but all they doing is riding a dick. especially when they think they can rhyme like twista

Dre.

I've heard "Rhythm-Al-Ism" and agree that Quik is the shit(he's in my top 5) but even Quik recognizes that Dre is a genius.

I think you might be gettin' a lil carried away on that one, Prince discovered Morris Day(The Time).

Like someone said...to each his / her own.

But I gotta tell you...Manny Fresh wouldn't even make top 30 on my list.

I guess it's like MC's...some people are into lyricists...and some people are really just listening to the music and could care less what the MC is saying.

Besides, Manny Fresh's music should be called south-hop or something...certainly not hip hop.

And as for Kanye West...well...what can I say? Hip Hop can only be dumbed-down so far...and he's on the cutting edge of the down swing.

WHAT ABOUT THE INNOVATORS ???




Peace.

I like manny, because his music just puts me in a certain mood; so i respect him for that. I wonder if alchemist can make a manney fresh track?
