As far as an mc not feelin' the way a track is layed out, I almost never give an mc a finished track cuz I won't know where I wanna take the track until I see where the mc is goin' with it, if he ain't feelin what I did with when all is said and done I might try to accomadate him but only after I explain why I'm the producer and he's the mc.

hells yeah. Thats the only way t finish a track. Get em a template and then vibe off him.

If he's making opinions for the sake of maintaining the SONIC quality of the track without sacrificing the integrity of the artistic value of the song the producer and mc are presenting, then that's good but his personal opinions of "this is dope, that's wack, the mpc is wack" have no place in the studio.

if someone disses an mpc, they are dumb.......or jealous. Becareful of jealousy man. Ive discovered alot of jealous people, who you cant trust for honesty, because they dont want to give you the spot light. And that can **** workflow up. and half the time the jealous ones are your friends. That is how you decide between real friends, and real professionals.

and if they diss the mpc, they are uneducated on it. Ive had friends diss it, because they know nothing of it, and dont realize that 90% of hiphop is done on one in some way or another. ya know.

oh...so tru!!!

Son, do as much PRE-production as you can before you go into the final stuido. Get as much of the project done and then when you believed it is tight work then go to the final studio and lay it down. If the engineer isn't puttin up free time then you can do without the negative input. I tell you each and everytime he starts to get into long winded conversation, look at the clock and time it and you will see how much money you done wasted. All these cats talking bout what they can do with P/Ts is fine and dandy but don't ever let them stop you from doin yo thing. CRAZY!!!!!!!!
