Dilla too both did their thing.

I gotta give it to dilla on this one. When I first heard donuts I was like :wow:. This mans ear for samples I wanna say it can only be matched by madlib ...nikkas will get mad at me for saying that but it is what it is . And to think dilla never really like sampling shyt other produces had already sampled if he did he did it for practice and you never heard those versions from him. :yeshrug:
That’s why the song little brother is amazing cause it already had been sampled by Pete rock but when dilla did that song we wasn’t suppose to hear.

This is not possible anymore without breaking the bank.

Bull to the Chit.

Songwriters be playing the same songs to the same artists all the time, just like back then.
Give the same song to two artists, and see what they do with it...













Beyoncé is absolutely an Icon - but she don't make Standards.
She don't.
It is what it is.

Explain the disconnect between the sexes then.

Oh, you remember this little gem years back with DC btw.




Her music caters towards women for the most part there is no denying that. So expecting men to actually delve into her catalog is not likely.

Also I stated: what songs that I listed contained bird rhetoric? I only mentioned her solo work so why are you bringing up DC?? My point still stands you guys are speaking on something you don't know about because you guys don't listen to her music she had her missteps I AM Sasha fierce was a terrible album but to say she had a trash catalog or that she is not an icon is just not true.

Do u know how much it would cost to cover or even sample Bey voice on a record? No new artist can afford that shyt and none of her contemporaries are gonna do that shyt.

Them days are over. Look what Sting did to Juiceworld

Aye did black house holds grow up listening to Dionne. I know my fam didn't like we rocked with Patti, Aretha, Gladys but I never heard Dionne in my house growing up.
This is a great question and I'm not surprised it's been overlooked :heh:

She's right but Beyonce is a legendary artist. You don't have to be a great singer to be a great performer
