    The nail in Swizz's coffin

    dont get me wrong, the song is still stupidly corny... the hook is irritatin, the vocals suck, the tamborine line is cheesy, the strings and whistles are cheesier still..... but the basic drum line, thats dope and a lyrical cat and the RIGHT kind of percusion and its a very dope, high energy...

    The nail in Swizz's coffin

    im going to say something i never thought i would.... but this thread has a lot of hate in it.... if you dont see the old school sensibilites in this beat..... you havent listened to much hip hop before 1990..... thing is, this is like chillin at the lunch table, smackin the table...

    rappable beats?

    no, there is a right and wrong here, sorry to say. all rap can be hip hop, but all hip hop doesnt have to be rap.

    rappable beats?

    ummm yeah you are wrong in that assesment im.... so if a beat isnt rappable, it isnt hip hop? what abuot break beats? not just "breaks", but "break beats"? you, the kind that b-boys get down to? thats hip hop in its rawest form right there, just drums and percussion really....what about groups...

    50 Cent's New Video Game

    the game itself looks like it has potential dont write it off based on 50's involvement..... but it could be very good or suck horribly equally easy.

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    oh i know- i was sayin....... this is abuot sampling drums that other dudes used or whatever, and i dont sample at all except for an occasional drum hit, so that colors my perspective on the issue.

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    hey, its all good...... its fine to disagree... see, i also have the pespective of somebody who doesnt sample, so that does play a role here- iso that does have an effect.

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    isnt that what sampling is though? hat you described is every pete rock album, every gangstar album, except they pull from a variety of sources instead of one source. what i am saying here, is that sampling from hip hop is no differnet from sampling what was originally sampled- except you...

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    ok something to chew on....... the hostility isnt needed, so if you choose to throw insults either way, then its time to hit the warning button. while i see the point deuce is making, i disagree simply on princeple- to me sampling is sampling, no matter how you do it. the spirit of the whole...

    The nail in Swizz's coffin

    wack says "this is a great way to make money" i know this, because swizz had mad ewack music for years and made lots of money off of it. the beat itself aint that bad outside of the cheesy percussion, and the mc's are annoying. its got an old school vibe and i guarantee if this were made...

    im drunk. so peep the logic if you will

    the funny thing is that it was european folks who came here and set the conditions that created todays environment... ironic aint it?

    I hate to say it, but why do people want it so easy!?

    "it can come from anywhere" well thats my point. you cant say "it can come from anywhere" and then say"but you cant get it from hip hop" it just doesnt add up. you may not like it, but to sit there and say "oh, you are wack if you do it this way" is rediculous... people these days are...

    preachers: the ultimate MC

    umm ok well this is going into a whole new direction. so that said......... religion topics always end horribly and if you do not believe in what they are saying, you are entitled to that but i'd rather we didnt get into the "true" or "false" teirritory of religion in here, because it will...

    preachers: the ultimate MC

    but...... is that a bad thing? i see where being corrupt is a problem. but... in its essence.. bein a preacher is a gift, being able to captivate an audience and get them to hang on to your every word and "buy" into what you are "selling" them wether you are a coach (see pat riley, hes a...

    im drunk. so peep the logic if you will

    that didnt say he was ashamed of being white, he said he hated white folks- and judging by the post in its entirely i am certain he is meaning the racist whites that he has to put up with there. i mean, im hispanic and white, and over the years i had so many problems with the ese's (mexican...
