got lost in tha beats
I know, sometimes I'll come home from school having thought out a beat in lesson, come home and just try and re-create what I had imagined in my head. Which means I don't have all that much time because of work to do etc. But most of the time, its just like, okay, I've got an idea and I'm not... -
Articles
LOL, my bad and everything...its just that the limit for uploading Jpeg images is only 100kb, and that is 99.2kb. I had to resize [loads] it and reduce the colours and everything as it is.- Lex

Articles
This is the best hip hop article I've read in ages...[okay it strays away from hiphop a bit towards the end and isn't all that long..] but its a really intersting article, and best of all its just out of some I saw lyign aroud in my house newspaper, as opposed to a hiphop magazine.. Anyway...- Lex

Lets talk about drums
Yeah, the possibilties are endless but you don't even have to limit yourself to drum/percussion sound when layering for drums - you can put a bass note behind a kick and actually get a really booming, bassy sound - a right beast of a sound, lol. And you can layer the reverb from another... -
I have been blessed with vinyl, now what?
First off, you lucky bastard...LOL Everyone bows down to the sound of vinyl, it can't be helped...that beatiful gritty dronig sound before a track is beautiful, and all those little cracks and pops...ahhhh Everyone has pretty much said everything about finding/record samples but... Try... -
Acapellas?
HipHop 12'' singles will normally have the single, sometimes a radio edit or remix, then both the instrumental and acapella on it too. Just go buy a few singles you like...also, the fact that they have the instrumental on there too is pretty useful as you can hear even more clearly what kind of... -
Heeeeere's Johnny!
That guy was a genious. I really hope such a creative mind continues to get the credit he deserves. R.I.P. I don't watch much US tv [being in the UK], but if he came up with all that stuff then he really was the talent behind the Late Show - much respect due.- Lex

Being around the wrong people
I have no idea wether your post was in refernce to my previous ones, but I'd just like say that I agree with you entirely. Just to re-iterate, all I was saying before is I'd just like to work with a few like minded individuals at some point in the future to gain experience generally, learn... -
Being around the wrong people
I didn't know a lot garage artists were interested in moving into hiphop, but I'm definately taking your word for it man. I'm not sure how seriously they'd take me and/or my stuff either...lol, basically I'm 16 and a bedroom producer. I get what you're saying about your friends too man, I... -
Being around the wrong people
I really fucking love music. Thats some knowledge right there, BigD and great point first of all by Jpeg. I need some help further down than that though...there is no one, and I really do mean this, in my area apart from about 5 of my friends who listen to hip hop enough for me to talk... -
Response to Racism: Petition against Hot 97's Broadcast
I signed yesterday, man. I didn't hear the show, but I think from what you said about it something has to be done, its just completely irresponsible. As few people have already said, I'm sure there wouldn't have been any humourous remarks if this had happened in the US.- Lex

What effects do you use to alter your sounds?
A couple of my friends left their guitars, amps and distortion/effects pedals round my house last time we jammed, and I did the same sort of thing...I recorded some hi hats and put them through a phaser setting on one one of the effects pedals, tried soem delays and reverse settings with delays... -
what happened to the wmd
True, but the bottom line is no countries are to blame for terrorism as such - terrorist organisations recruit people from all over the world [not just the Middle East...], and clearly they are just people that share similar extremist views - which don't actually depend on what country they are...- Lex

great video(jay-z's fade to black)
Nice clip, I see what people mean about Jay-Z's arrogance, but he showed he had a lot of respect for others in that clip too [the part where talk about Rick Rubin and The Beatsies etc.] I have to say, I 'm nto actualyl a huge Jay-Z fan, but that clip actually inspired me quite a lot.- Lex

Choosing instruments
Definately know what you mean there - but at times it's pretty cool to put stuff that you wouldn't normally hear or expect together, as sometimes you get some really interesting sound - I've found a few a mix of ethnic samples which you wouldn't normally throw together suit eachother... -
