    Those Asking About The Good Times Beat here's the Version Swizz Bought.

    they got paid. everyone involved benifited from it... swizz still sucks, same as every other kid who buys tracks from someone else and puts their name on it. it may be good business, but as a producer, i have absolutely zero respect for that. its yours if you pay for it, true. that still screams...

    What's Your 'Personal' Top-5 Albums?

    here are mine, in no particular order. -Fugees, The Score say what you want, but NO album has made the overall impact that this one has. over ten million sold worldwide, gave the underground a taste of its own sound blowing up HUGE on radio and mtv, provided commentary- intelligent...

    The life of a producer...

    i feel you guys on this one. i have managed to juggle a full time job, a girlfriend, and church for quite sometime now and there are days i put everything aside just so i can make a track... its crazy hard to maintain tho... the worst, however, is when a women comes between you and your...

    Hip Hop Sampling

    it depends... you got to dig!! start with a simple piece of music, like a piano on an old jazz record/cd/tape/etc., and loop it, change the pitch, apply filters, just play with it. the best advice here is practice, practice, practice.... dont try to hard at first; be basicwhile you are learning...

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. werent we discussing public enemy? and then the issue of them being/not being racsist? didnt you make a comment to cope, that he seems to understand the struggle that black people were going through? the point being, big deal. so he's cool because he "gets it"? as far as me...

    What are your plans?

    I know we all do this for various reasons: Money, "for the love", etc., but what are your plans for this? where do you all want to take this? anyone here have ambitions to score movies, anyone want a company, do you want to make a "statement", are you "concious", .... what do you want from this...

    anyone hear rthese rumors about swizz?

    thats the way it usually is.... um.. Swizz makes hits. that doesnt mean he is creative. why do people always confuse creativity with play? yes, he sells, yes, he dominated the airwaves for a bit, but does that mean he was creative? same frickin horns in half his songs? so when he came with...

    15 minutes? i dont see how...... not dissing i just dont get it. there is a lot that goes into making a complete track... what do you use? i know a lot of kids who say they make their music in 5-10 minutes, but then i hear it and i see that it HAD to be done in 10 minutes! i see a lot of presets...

    Joe Budden......The next big thing in Rap

    *yawn...* that beat is nice on the jumpoff..... i dunno. mc's just dont do it for me anymore i guess....... i just bought reasonable doubt. i'm a classics man myself, but this guy looks like a legitimate artist. im just not big on the style. he'll probably blow- he seems to be more in the vein...

    Who is Hip Hop a Way of Life to?

    hip hop as a lifestyle?????? i consider hip hop as a piece of my life, not what i base my life on. when people say that its a "way of life" what they are doing (albeit unknowingly) is turning it into a god, an idol... a religion. soooo... just thought i'd give some love to the heads on this...

    What is Hip Hop in its True form??

    nah i was serious. this is a good topic to discuss. it challenges people to look at different perspectives. i am talking about the poeple in hip hop contributing to these problems. the word "may" wasnt in the context of "if", but a context of fact. "there may be a new nba champion, but the...

    What is Hip Hop in its True form??

    um...... yeah, its personal. when i "make it" i will not be like them. there is much more to what we do than "just music"..... the problem is, enough people dont take it personally. personally, i'm not out just to make it; i need to be concious of the things that i say and do because people are...
