You can take Nas' narration in Belly, but speed it up a tad bit becuz that dude speaks maaad slow, that talks about growth, change, etc. But the ill shit is from the old 50's and 60's westerns, try and take some shit from an unrelated source and flip it, that's the illese part about sampling...- shadeed

What's Your Credit Card Debt from Music???
It's not that I don't have the cash to buy whatever it is that I want upfront, its just that using credit gives me the flexibility to put my money in other areas, pay a chunk upfront and then balance it out later. Establishing credit history is good when you wanna purchase the finer things...- shadeed

What's Your Credit Card Debt from Music???

Stuff...- shadeed

How do you guys think Hip-Hop influences...
Women have been degraded since the stone age my friend. Hip hop often can be an exaggeration of what actually goes on in real life but videos like Tip Drill and too live crew's antics wouldn't exist if women weren't lining to be in these videos. As far as how black men view black...- shadeed

Blowing Up From The Basement
How do I like Sydney, put it this way, I had a homie named Yuri over there who had me all hooked up with a job with Apple Cpu's and everything was all set to move over there (this was around late 2002--2003). I had a flat all set up with a cool roomate and everything. Probably the only thing... -

"From the Bedroom to Ghetto Platinum : How to Move Units Without Major Label Help" Does that sound like a good title??? I gave your topic a lot of thought and believe it or not, your topic could cover the span of 4-5 articles alone. For starters, there is no artist that I've heard of that... -

Sooo What are Your Current Projects????
That's the worst part of producing albums, relying on other people. Just keep pressing them about deadlines and always keep finding new artists---work ethic doesn't exactly grow on trees these days!!! -

why i like sampling(a composer's view)
When I 1st learned to put beats together I didn't sample but I was raised on sample based hip hop production so although I'm not a big user of sampling in my own work, I am a fan of it in my CD player. -
Sooo What are Your Current Projects????
No, its not good practice to do that. Artist are people too and believe it or not, some have not adjusted to having people run up on them waving CD's. You WILL find some artist that are cool and accept your CD but its no guarantee they'll even listen to it. The best way to do it is to work...
