    Props to XXL. Dave Chappel, Common, Kweli, dead prez, and Kanye on the cover.

    and pretty lengthy article with chappel as the interviewer asking the questions. not a bad issue overall, but the fact that they put a few of my personal favs on the cover scored major points with me. anyone else read this?

    beat this themes

    can it just be 80's type sounds from the whole era, period, like "broken wings" type work, or does it have to be 80's hip hop?

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    Thanks. coming from i guy i argue with all the friggin time, that is a pretty good compliment. allthough, where have we disagreed on what was good hip hop? we usually disagree on basic issues surrounding something, not the music itself (at least from my memory). anyways, i am really...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    For your information CT, most of the guys that sample only do it to get the sounds not the actual performance, you might have a sample with 5 instruments on it, and chop it into pieces and create your own melodies, I'd rather buy a $1,000 sampler and have unlimited sounds, than buy some crappy...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    i asked you "how many of them make hip hop that "stay true to the roots"? how many of them fit your vision of what "the roots" would represent?" you said half of them make what you consider good music. exactly my point. they all know where hip hop came from, they all are influenced by the...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    huh? that wouldnt make ANY sense whatsoever... big difference bewteen using the sounds on a keyboard and taking a performance from an artist... is that really part of this law, or is that you being sarcastic?

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    um.. well, your post showed that we CAN agree, because you agreed with me (partially)! i didnt really view it as an argument. yuo said what i said- these guys dont appreciate the art so much as the money. the rest- "i think people with the knowledge make better shit and stay loyal to...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    i dont think simply knowing where it came from has anything to do with it. most of these dudes ou today view hip hop as nothing more than a way of making a dollar. they do not appreciate the art, they appreciate the money it has generated thema nd the lifestyle it has afforded them. these...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    i never said people shouldnt know where it came from or how it was done. i said that people dont need to recognize that a turntable is all thats needed.... people need to recognize what their strengths are as an artist and play to that. tahts all they need to be concerned with. everyone knows...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    how do you not agree? so... basically, you are saying that everyone should produce hip hop one way... everyone should sample... so should people follow a set of rules as opposed to what they want to do as an artist? and which roots are we talking here? rappers delight sounds different...

    Help! I need a punchy snare. think jadakiss, "still feel me"

    yeah, i have used fx and eq to death on a few hits trying to do this. perhaps, i need a more focused approach. compression leaves me with a squished, "chh" sound like the dre drums on bilals "fast lane"... a sound i absolutely loathe. im going to get to work tonight some more. im growing...

    The End Of Sampling.. New Court Ruling

    ummmmm please elaborate here, so this makes sense. as for the issue of "the roots", i have no issue with that per se. i just think that there is a bit of an obsession with everything having to maintain that particular sound, and unless it directly reflects the first decade or so of hip...
