D-d-dddd-dont belive the hype kids lol

Ps if I made a synth now days I would ship it with no presets, just empty slots but show the capabilities online/with a audio cd...go figgure

The marketing on this thing is wack....even if it was a great product it puts a lot of people off, I'm not interested in it as I dont require a beat machine but for any one else who is I would wait untill this thing actually ships

Also you dont get any where in this game by dissing your competition, thats just plain un-professional and rude!
Back in the day you would see all the big names exchanging info at the conventions..

Beatkangz, good luck with the world recession... :lol: I wanna see how are you going get this thing actually manufactured while at the same time every single hi-tech company is cutting down 50% of their staff and product line.

You live in your own little realm and have absolutely no **** idea about business or marketing. I wish you all the best. Now I can go back to my 60 and SP... 8)

Everything is all talk and bragging and no skill quality to back it up"

Actually we have been contacted by most of these folks already and they will be the first to have their custom Thangz along with , Shannon sanders, Rock wilder, Johnny juice, Chuck D, my boy Stevie J (B.I.G's producer) , and 10 grammy award winning gordon williams who did lauren hills record and damian marly..... and We been to RZA's house and chilled in Cali. He used the Streetboxx on afro samurai lmao and DRE's lil brother Warren G just said the Thang was hot.... he saw it at Namm and it's on you tube.....

And you know our Biz partner Bob signed Jay Z...... google live nation records and maybe you will have a better idea of what we are doing..... He's done with that now and this is his new big Thang.

Real Recognize Real

As for Roger..... I know Roger, I talk to Roger, He maybe god to some of you in here but to me he's just Roger. Initially we were going to do this project with him. We even have some designs which will never see the light of day but at the end of the day money ruins most great potential. Maybe one day we may let him back in the kangdom after we prove our point.... He's a great guy on a personal level but a tad to conservative to be a Kang. We go hard and have no time for timid nervous people..... It was hard to walk away from Rog but we had a vision. We wish him much success.... You all should thank us.... He wasn't even thinking of making another drum machine until we called him after our AKI disaster. He was into Rock pedals at the time..... His product may be cool im sure but it aint gonna be no Thang.... Sugar hill gang may have invented hip hop but they cant battle Jigga......

Shaping tha Game

Time for some new Thangz

KANGZ



That's peace if the so called MPC legends gave you props on the new machine. My point was that your MARKETING ploy is targeted to Solija Boi's demographic and most dudes in here with they MPC's don't embrace the BS that's called Rap today alone fake emcee and 808 producers with the same recycled drum patterns and 2 fingered key notes.


And Jigga's SUBSTANCE level does not stand to Sugar Hill Gang, not even Crooked I can Jigga handle. Real artist don't place Hollywood imaging over skill and quality because all that is, is an illusion.


If I were to place you in a room with Timberland on his machine, Polo Da Don on his mekio, Dj Premier on his MPC, Pete Rock on his SP1200, 9th Wonder on his Fruity Loops, and you on your KANG and gave you all a sample to flip who would win?


You can't say you because of the KANG Machine, lol. See how narrow minded your being. Any real producer would know creativity comes before a machine, its already mapped in the mental. 9th Wonder proved that with making beats for Jay-Z on Fruity Loops a $200 software.


Like I said earlier your machine seems to have potential but that can be gone in a minute with the ego. And another thing to take note on, bragging is not going to be a big sales method for your KANG in the current economic depression, just look at the VERY MARKET your trying to sell your machine to. RAP. Aint no body making any real money in that market right now let alone will people be looking to flock to their music stores for the almighty KANG when it drops because its sales pitch makes dudes think they can be the next Nitti producer of the South.



In the end to each is own and I don't wish you any bad business as I'm a business man myself and have done very successful with my MPC 2000.

I know that most people that have MPCs are hip-hop/rap/whatever oriented. Even though the MPC is not 'custom made' for that use. So a lot of other people use MPCs for other kind of music.

The Kang Thang - whatever that shit name is - looks like it was made only to be used by hip-hop artists and stuff.

These guys came here full of attitude saying that they will kill the MPC and the PCM and the CMP, and the hip-hop guys on the forum are already with a foot behind the Kang shit.


Now I wonder... if you can't even convince the hip-hop community about your hardware, who are you going to convince?

We have no beef with Roger. We wish him the best. We just make'n our Thangz.

We can flip an MP or Fruity or Fantom or MV or an SP or a streetboxx for that matter. We have had them all. Thats why we are make'n these thangz cause we are bored with them.... this Thang is gonna sound crazy and we are gonna act crazy.

We like Tha Grillz, We like the Pitch and MOD and we gonna Flip the hell out these Thangz......

You are right about one thing. It's about the music and sounds......NOT tha GEAR! Wait till you hear whats in these thangz Then decide if you want it or not... We are not trying to twist anyones arm to buy our stuff its all good it will be fully loaded and ready to drop hits to whoever picks it up and turns it on.... And yeah it's personal with AKAI and we dont care who knows it..... They are asking us "BEAT THIS" with the XR so oooook.

I'll say it AGAIN there is no marketing yet..... Just us acting a damn fool and getting people talking. I guess you could call it marketing or us just having fun with this..... 33 pages deep on just this forum from one post really bad marketing i guess.

And to tha dude from TN..... We at Sports page every second saturday night holding it down in Nashville feel free to stop by any time....... Bring yo Grillllz and Glow sticks

Underground Movement in process
