    Half Assed Rappers.....

    Shadeed: On the other hand, comming from a "rapper's" perspective, I do shows for free. I give CD's out for free (a lot of em), and I don't mind NOT getting paid. I love music, it's within me, and making a CD for the hood to bump to, money involved or not, is still an accomplishment, and...

    el-p's quote for a 5 song e.p.

    That sounds about fair, why don't you call the Neptunes or even Premier and see how much they'll charge you lol! I got the game all fucked up though, because I can produce a CD/DVD combo for your artist, complete with interviews, develop your press kit, direct your video, and have your video...

    BWS: New Deathrow?

    You MUST be working for them or something, are you on the street team?? Anyways, Game is cool and he's signing new artist that with the right push could make some noise, but Game might be known for re-viving the west but his recent rampage is killing his relationships on the East Coast. In...

    Just a general question

    I use a really high chair (think bar stool) so I'm sitting over top of the MPC or so that I can reach my turntable and adjust cords and stuff from the back and all that. I notice that I pace a lot when I'm in the middle of an idea or something I'm trying to plan out so at those moments I'm...

    Half Assed Rappers.....

    Well my theory on this is that MOST rappers are not really rappers. A rapper is somebody who gets paid to rap, not somebody who is putting together a CD for the hood to bop to, or somebody who thinks that rap is a good way to stay off the street. Most "MC's" are happy with just hearing...

    Your dream production opportunity

    I ain't really too focused on working with big acts, the reason I do this is to take a total no-name and have him/her/them blow up and become household names. But as far as all time, I would have loved to sit in on the Thriller sessions and work with an artist as talented and groundbreaking as...

    non-musical sources of inspiration?

    Poverty or more like the fear of returning to the same economic conditions that I was raised in is the reason why I go so hard at everything I do. I went to the crib this weekend and I really wonder how I got so far when everybody is on parole, on the block, or on the "weight loss" plan from...

    BET awards

    I think it was the Best awards show BET ever put on, you can tell that their emphasis this year was to kinda tone down on the ignant stuff and make it a lil more classy. Gladys Knight tore that shit down, i always love when they let Steve Harvey introduce the lifetime achievement award...

    MD/DC/VA What's Stopping Us From Blowin Up???

    Yeah, you used to live by that plaza with Pizza Hut, Wendy's and its even a Walgreens over there. I got some shrimp fried rice from that plaza this Friday lol. I'm not worried about any love lost between bmore,DC, and PG for the simple fact that the need to be famous and the want to be paid...

    MD/DC/VA What's Stopping Us From Blowin Up???

    Class and BigD, y'all both make some good points and add a different perspective to the table. Anybody who is shopping tracks will tell you that there are some unbelievable producers out here, but they might lack the push and/or overall presentation. My perspective on the music game is a...

    Getting clientiel

    You guys are all missing the BEST promotional spot that NOBODY uses and that is (drumroll, please) the barber shop. Everybody comes thru the barber shop and there is always music pumpin loud all day long. Get yourself some business cards, go get a haircut, remember the barber's name---if he does...

    Alot of producers don't add cuts these days.

    Cuts are definitely missing from a majority of today's beats. But one group that is over-looked in that department is UGK. Pimp C had cuts on every UGK album and not just on one or two songs either. Cormega has cuts on his CD's too so there are still producers trying to keep this thing alive...

    Most expensive beat sold ever!!!

    It's a publicity stunt, kinda like when Funk Flex refused to play Piggybank, it only built the anticipation even more. Nas will do his numbers but his career is declining and the Neptunes won't change that.

    What sequencer have you completely mastered???

    I learn something new about my equipment everyday when I use it, and my general approach is not to master any sequencer, but to get my ideas out of my head. I WOULD like to master Pro Tools and Midi daisy chaining, I actually wouldn't mind getting certified by Digidesign because then I could...

    I'm always making my "rounds" to different spots/studios etc, networking w/ diff. singers/rappers/producers etc. with the overall plan of puttin it all together and making something major pop off. I was @ the Heritage Festival this weekend @ Camden Yards and Bossman performed and I'm...
