You ever heard of "Sean John"??? More than half of that 250 is from other ventures (ie. clothing, food industry, etc...). Russell doesn't even own DefJam anymore, hasn't in some years now, so what r u talking about??? :?

L.A. Reid - him too.....Russell still has major pull in the hiphop community, don't try to justify that shit....i'm talking about the fact that hiphop has become worse than ever as far as substance goes....I haven't heard a classic song since 1997/98 Rakim's "Been A Long Time...." - All you garbage ass producers make music for the people cus you think it falls with the trend so you do it to make your dollars, but you ain't holding no integrity or creativity in that shit, if you were you'd pick up some instruments and record that shit properly.....I don't play instruments- I make music by sampling wich is the proper way to do hiphop music - end of story.

If you got skillz bring that shit......take some fukkin advice from Premo....he laughs at kats like you.

Do you even use an MPC-60 or 3000?

Doc Martin, I am sorry. I realize why you are such a bully everywhere you go online. It must be very hard, I didn't mean to agrivate your condition. But you can't go on like this, it will only hurt you further.
I am here to help, I am not here to show any credentials, it this monster.com? I'm here to talk MPC's and yes I help a lot of people and people help me, that is what this place is for, not to show off. Yeah,I have never posted a beat here, and I will never do so, when my shyt is together I will post links and anyone who wants to can check it out and buy it if they like. but before then it makes no sense to do so.

Anyhow I understand what you are going through, I have had friends from Africa who have had the same problem and it is very difficult, you may have had some further trauma because they were never assho les like you are being, but regardless, this doesnt protect you it only increases your pain. I hope you do find resolution for your problems, I guess all this is just some sort of attention getting thing to get some kind of help, but I am not a professional, but I suggest you be careful if you do decide to go to a professional, some of them can mess you up worse, but if you find a good one, then maybe you can learn to live with your problem. Regardless, It's OK, people have bigger secrets, and shame is just a waste of time.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck with all this, and I hope your career continues to grow, but you should tone down the internet fighting, because Larry Gold wouldn't like to know that you are throwing threats around and giving his studio's address for people to come look for you and beef with you, especially with gun threats in your avatar, studio owners are very zero tolerance with violence since all the shootings in studios, pac, Jam Master Jay, Quad is like a fortress now since Pac's first shooting. SO playing around like this may be a joke to you, but studio owners wont appreciate that at all, and if you still want to talk down to people from your high and mighty position, then act like you are a professional, cuz you are acting like a kid who won the lottery or something, not someone who worked hard to get where he is and appreciates his position.

But whatever, I hope you do prosper despite your self destructive tendencies.

As I sit here (in "The Studio" with Larry himself I might add) please money you came with your threat to begin this and I'm not that type of dude to be afraid... (as Mr. Gold reads this WHOLE thread for proof) I have a heavy OPINION in this forum BUT so do YOU, Mr. "The MPC 60 is the Greatest Machine Ever Made"!!! Stop thinking YOU "know it all" and maybe, just maybe you can find a life outside of the internet. Being as you don't have a wife or children (I'm sure), because you wrap yourself up in equipment and don't take the time get outside to often. Your profile says you post at least 8 times a day!!! :shock: Thats a problem I think you need to address. And as far as letting you know where I'm at, to be honest with you, you ain't built like that for me to worry about you... so I called your bluff. And for all your BS you speak on here, YES you do help people, until you start telling people what equipment is what. You don't know what is best for ANY producer but yourself (if your even a producer) so act like YOU know... And Pete doesn't use the SP for some of those reasons YOU stated...

I never said I do not have problems, nor have I ever said the 60 is the best for everybody, I enjoy it. I help people, 8 times a day is nothing. I pop in here much like you do, I can read very fast, and then I'm off again. It used to be very rewarding, there was a lot I learned here, and I was fortunate enough to be able to help people understand their machines (not just 60's, lots of different gear) and other people helped me do the same, so those 8 posts a day were helpin me. Now it's just going to shyt and all the cats that would school me on the regular don;t even show up because of this idiot invasion. So I think you are right, I do post here too much, and I will address that problem, cuz I am not getting as much from it as I used too, so droppin this forum from my routine is probably best. But I got somethiung from my time here, where I don't think you do at all.

I guess I have strong opinions, but I haven't really heard much about your gear opinions, I never called out and said something was useless or sucks, and I don't get how you can act all high and mighty but never endorse anything. What do you use at home? At the studio you can use a bunch of stuff, but what's your gear of choice? never heard that opinion from you. I would actually like to know. I think you could actually contribute greatly but you've got some serious problem. if you are such a hot shot why waste your time with us. all we talk about is MPC's, shouldn't you be on some forum about SSL's and what mics are best for whatever? Are you an engineer, or an Ass. Engineer? a Tech, Session musician, PT tech / operator? Why don't you chime in what you find good, instead of saying all this is Bad etc.

Pete does use the sp. I heard Pete Rock describe his gear in person 3 weeks ago, he said, SP-1200, and his new toy, the XL, which he is having fun learning new things about. He went on about the 1200 for a while and mentioned it first. So don't act like he'd back you up dissing the 1200.

And if I am not helpin people in your opinion, why don't you help them?

If you have a wife and child I pity them because they probably suffer a lot by your hand.

Why are you so agro man? I know you ain't on the juice from your picture, but you got some sort of problem, alcoholism, mama didn't breast feed you, but in your spare time in a pro recording studio, you pick fights online??

By docmartin120 Thu Jun 23, 2005 11:47 pm
Actually if you look at ALL my posts you WILL find out what gear I use, not all of it but gear in my studio none the less. I live by the ASR-10, I've said this MANY times. It's a vintage piece that still works well with MY setup. I said the SP didn't fit into MY setup and all hell broke loose from the "Golden Era" camp. Why is that? Some of ya'll are the biggest phonies Hiphop was and then you wonder why most people aren't feelin' your style of music... :? These are other pieces of gear I swear by:

Protools HD (I remember when I said this on a thread and correct my if I'm wrong but YOU were one of the cats trying to being the Digidesign conspericy into play) :roll:

Glyph Hard Drives, Fantom 8X, Korg NS5R, Melodyn, MPC 2000xl/4000

Elm,
I see your starting to get feelings. Thats not good fam. It's ONLY the internet. I don't know you and you don't know me, so I'ma squash this. And cool out money, it seemed like it's VERY personal with you...

This thread caught my eye b/c I was surprised that ppl had so much 2 say about Cormega's article. BTW Big up 2 whoever posted it. I would have never seen it otherwise b/c this is the only forum I read as the 60 is the only MPC that I have or care 2 own.

I'm glad 2 see ppl being passionate about hip-hop and the culture in general. Yall r real intelligent cats..... seriously. I don't see Doc as a firestarter. I don't know dude from anybody but this is the kind of emotion that comes when ppl start discussing race on any level. Keep the dialogue going. Keep it peaceful.

Desafortunadamente, la primera vez que empezamos hablando en español estamos discutiendo pero sigue usando tu voz mi gente. Somos de la tierra y juntaos tenemos fuerza. [unfortunately, the 1st time that we start speaking spanish we're arguing but keep using your voice my ppl. We are from the same earth and 2gether we have strength]. uno

This is the attitude that bothers me. People who think they can "make rules" on what hip hop is when,they are not from the community that created Hip Hop. I remember when this Rapper from People Under The Stairs said,"Back in the park the weren't using keyboards." But,Marly Marl used to Bring this turntables out to the Park and play with real Musicans.
Futhermore,if This same White Kid Came out to the Park back in the day
during the Park Jams HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ROBBED OR SHOT!

A lot of you guys failed to see the Big Picture,Black folks lot in this country has alot to do with our view of the Music. If we have to dumb it down to get out of the Daily struggle that many Blacks Face most of us will...sorry. I always use Nas as an example,In my Opinion he could have MC ever, but he dumbed it down.If he didn't, I'm pretty sure Sony/Columbia would have dropped him, he'd probably be back in PJ's on dope or Dead, but "dumbing it down" Opportunities were afforded him that he never might of had otherwise(he Dropped out in the 9th grade!), If I was him I'd Dumb it Down too.


Drumatic, I don't think you can for Speak for Dj Premier.Premo Plays the Drums ,Bass ,Guitar and Keys.And much as admire Premier he hasn't updated his sound in years. Plus, some of the best Rap Song ever were not Sample Productions,"Check move the Crowd" by Eric B & Rakim or My Melody not ot mention "The Show" Dougie Fresh & Slick Rick. Marly Marl used a Yamaha Keyboard on many of his productions.

The Truth is, Probably the main reason Hip Hop sounds like it does Now is
YOU (Not, personally though). Since so many Whites Folks buy Rap records the labels water it down to make it sound "Acceptable" to them (So Called "Main Stream America"). Example: You get forget that much of Hip Hop in the Late 80's-early 90's was PRO BLACK : The Poor righteous Teachers, X Clan Public Enemy, Brand Nubians Even Wu Tang Belong to the 5% Nation of Islam, a group that Believes The White man is the Devil and the Black is GOD.These Groups,Spinkled there Lyrics with with rhymes about Devils, yet STILL are considered to have dropped some of the best LP's of all time!!(Let's Not even Talk about Ice Cube or the Geto Boys).

Today, If Nelly, Jay-Z (Who was down with the Ansars) or 50 cent made songs like Brand Nubian or PRT ,They'd be all but BANNED!! So, Instead of Addressing Social Problems Labels Force Rappers to Make 90% of there songs about Partying, Getting Drink, Killing there own People thru Drugs and Guns (doing America's Dirty Work), and Disrespecting Black Women. So like Lo Pass said somethings YOU CANNOT POSSIBILY UNDERSTAND!! My Point is you don't Have the Authority to Make rules on Hip Hop. If you were KRS ONE or even Kool Kerc,I 'd Question your authority,muchless, a Kid from North-East Philly, A very bigoted and Racist Place. I'm NOT say your a Racist What I'm saying is You don't understand the Politics and are in NO Position to Make RULES!


One more thing,i t's way to much Disrespect going on at this board. Now people are threating bodily harm. I joined this site to gain info and tips on the use of my MPC. I'll be the First to Apologizes to ANYONE I OFFENDED!! I never ment to Disrepect anyone Purposely. I just want to continue to learn as much as possible about using the MPC as a Production Tool and record-ing in General.I've Targeted by a few posters but, I'm not going call any-one out of there name or RESPOND TO DISRESPECTFUL POST[b] I hope Moderators CHECK some of this disrepect going on this Forum!

2nd, You can see the problems elitism causes. If you Prefer to use a one piece of gear over another that's find but, DON'T Disrepect other peoples gear or Bragg about your gear to the point it becomes dis-resprectful! That should be a rule on this Forum in Particular. If Possible let's talk more about technical Info and Practical use than,who use what gear and why 12 bit is better than 16 bit etc. THIS SITE IS A RESOURCE!! LET'S NOT DESTROY THIS FORUM OR THIS SITE WITH TROLLING AND IGNORANCE!!!

And to the Posters who Keep Asking to Battle the Answer is: NO. Please keep your ignorant comments to yourself. Again, I'm sorry If I offended anyone!
