If you got skillz bring that ****......take some fukkin advice from Premo....he laughs at kats like you.
Do you even use an MPC-60 or 3000?
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!
