    Quality vs Quantity

    I should have rephrased - my ADD is real (lmao). With that statement, my inclination was to ask more in the perspective of turning your original self into a brand - hence marketing yourself as such and quotations. Im saying this unto the perspective of that you would normally do things you would...

    Quality vs Quantity

    Great point with the whole content situation - especially with you saying your content every week wouldnt necessarily be a beat. I guess its truly marketing yourself as a "brand" rather than you just being yourself, in a type of way. Ive been struggling with the idea of that as of lately...

    Brian Bennett - "Alto Glide"

    I get you on this one being a bit difficult..but regardless, its a cool flip you did. Its practice, like doin warm up laps. I guarantee if you were to revisit this in a couple months you'd have a whole different ear for it and probably would flip it completely differently. Its a tricky sample...

    Quality vs Quantity

    So, I wanted to present this to spark some healthy discussion: Given the times that we are living in now with being able to be independent and release things how we see fit to various DSP's as well as physical copies, I have a question for you all: How do you feel about putting things out just...

    ILL Album , by All ILL members

    I'd still be up for this though..would definitely be a way to expose everyone to more ears. I see different beat collectives arouund here and there, and honestly I think it would be dope if we had our own here. Theres some pretty solid peeps we got in each respective direction of beat making...

    Patience - "This Is All I Can Say"

    @Fyyn3stSymphoni -I can dig the direction, however its too much goin on for my tastes. The samples are clashing quite a bit, in flow and in frequency. Too many thoughts at once imo but keep going. @Delta_Nine -Shit is clean, and definitely dig the vocal samples in it. Drums are hitting clean...

    Illmuzik is keeping the internet alive.

    Facts.... Thinking upon it more - deep web is really where that nostalgic feeling would come back. Only issue is the hoops you gotta jump through in this day and age now to protect yourself.

    So what’s the point anymore?

    Illmuzik is keeping the internet alive.

    I feel you on that. Shit, Im not even secretive about it. Twas a whole different game then. But, I will say that the late 90's early 2000's (of course Im biased) was just a fuckin magical time. For those who really werent in a position to find gear or even really know where to start, could...

    Illmuzik is keeping the internet alive.

    Been feeling this way for awhile too. I mean as far as the theory goes, I believe that it is more accurate than not. And real shit, ILL is one of the last imo that still has that same feel as back then when us more tech saavy peeps were finding/creating communities online. Its so watered down...

    I really wished we had freestyling like this today

    Man, I miss this type of shit so much. R.eye.P That man was truly on a whole different level.

    What motivates you to keep making beats?

    Simply the love for the music and the culture, and mental health.

    Taggers have taken over a downtown LA building

    Yo, seeing that shit in person is fucking beautiful. These pictures barely do it justice. But yeah, they are steady trying to keep the peoples out, but you know graff heads. Where theres a will theres a way. They've still been gettin up.

    If you're tired of the mainstream bullshit

    Truth, was thinking the same. Theres actually a small fragment of them left on an original forum..I wonder if maybe some of the people running the old site hopped over. Regardless, I definitely needed this. Ive been finding it difficult to discover quality new artists.

    How diverse in content was Hip Hop from 1994 to 2003?

    I really dont think this board romanticizes 90's era. Look at the battles.... 90's was full of quality for rap. The explosion of underground MC's and producers during the late 90's and early 2000's was majority quality shit. I mean fuck, we had legitimate artists on the RADIO during the 90's...
