ok guevara i feel what you are saying. let me make something clear. if me and the rapper sat down and came up with a certain concept as far as how the song was going to be put together, then i have no problem with that. we can make a song using 12, 16, 24 bars. but if the rapper wanted a beat... -

guevara the same goes for the producer. you dont want anybody ucking with your track either.(lol) if i make a formatted track and a rapper wants to rap on it, then he writes to that format and thats that. i`m not going to tear my beat apart just because he or she wants to rap 32 bars before the... -
Mastering Techniques

why put extra work on yourself? the artist have to know his ish too. i use to do things that way and it became a big headache for me. with that type of mentality it seems as though you are just happy to have someone rap on your beat. isn`t it enough that we producers have to come up with a hot... -
Over dubbin vocal mics?
if you are talking about overdubbing a rapper, after the first take the artist just plug in on certain parts on the second take. if you are talking about singing the it becomes a little more complicated., expecially with the chorus. puting together vocals in a chorus is like playing notes that... -

yo helix you are doing it right. thats the only way to keep that ish limited. if they dont know about bars & beats tell em they gotta learn. i dont care about how much freestyling they can do, after a point it gets boring. keep the 8,16 thing going. remember you are the producer, you set the pace. -
Low end Theory (not the album)
