First Pro I know of using JJ OS

I agree. and I think the "recognizable name is key" cuz there are plenty of ppl that make there living doing music but aren't known.

like the 3rd string on a football team, decent money, just no fame

haha.
who would admit to being a pro if they had anything to lose? also , some (unfairly ambitious?) guys may purport to being pro - just to feel like they're getting somewhere here.

but hey - Hereo, props, i notice u often drag up interesting/amusing lines of discussion, makes browsing this flat world a whole lot more lumpy! heheh

: )

Who can forget David Banner's hit, 'Play' with the girl on her knees logo... good work out video.

I was about to say the same thing. But I remembered the Incredible Hulk was Dr. Bruce Banner.

They changed the first name to "David" for the old Bill Bixby TV series. The rumor had something to do with the name "Bruce" being considered too "gay"-associated at the time.

How did that line go in the show's intro? "Don't make me angry [with this crappy operating system] Akai Pro, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."

Or something like that....

Fa sho. Thanx arebee. I'm just happy that you guys tolerate me.

I like old Banner stuff, Crooked Lettaz(Kamikaze is a wonderful mc), and the first two Mississippi records(Fire Water Boyz was good, too).

The "Like a Pimp" beat is one of my all-time favorite minimal hip-hop beat, that bass drum knocks...

yup, sorry guys, time to come clean....my first album was the chronic.

My publicist has given me the go-ahead to say that I do indeed have JJOS installed on my MPC1000.

MEDIA FRENZY: BEGIN!

if i dont have a job, live in a big house with a decent car and have enough money to pimp hoes on the regular, does that make me a pro? what if ive done beats for shonuff, block ent, grand hustle, dray from das efx, chinkie brown, b-phatz?

i think i beat banner to it.

if you make a living off of music doesn't make you a pro- and vise versa- some of the best beat makers have a day job- because to them it's an art and not just a hustle- someday their creative talents might pay off- but beatmaking is an art- first and foremost- if it makes you money then good- but as soon as you start relyin on beatmaking to pay the bills- the soul more often than not is immediately drained from the music- if you got to stress "is this song gonna sell" then your creativity is severely inhibited

its Eric Bana not Banner

And yes there are plenty people here that make a living doing this

So since a few people here apparently make a decent sum from beats, might i ask how you guys got your foot in the door?
