[DaveyDave]

What's crazy is how I don't hear no one flipping samples better than they were and we have ABLETON. You can do so much with that shyt and get really creative and NOT have to pay for samples because if they don't know what it is, you don't have to pay. shyt I was flipping samples on my Yamaha su-10 better then these cats now and I payed $175 for it. It had filter, you could play the samples in different pitches BUT if you know what you're doing you can alter the key of the sample, and resample at different bits and you could put it in your pocket and this was '97. That is still my baby and most people don't know about it. I think the lack of being creative is from the lack of a lot of producers being good DJ's because being a DJ allows you to hear things a regular producer might not hear and having access to so much tools whereas I had to make use of EVERYTHING I had from the mixer, and turntables to the drum machine and the sampler so I had to be creative. The weed and being in a dark, small room also helped. Also living life also helped because I absorbed everything around me and put it to music, being a star wasn't what I thought about.

When I made music I would imagine how people on the radio, the streets and hip hop music lovers would feel not the check. I might get back into this shyt and show young nikkas how to do this but let them get the props and be the man behind the scenes, I don't need the fame.

u got any hits fam?

No, I got out of it to get some cash in hand money because once I seen most of the people were broke and shady, It turned me off from the business. I lost the love because when I would watch videos and hear the music I couldn't believe all the stuff I thought was real was fake and again I needed real money because I was getting older and I wasn't trying to kiss a fake nikkas ass(pause). Plus the music was getting more synthesizer(Korg triton) like and that isn't my type of music. The internet and technology helped me fall back in love with music again because you don't have to buy tons of equipment and a major studio to have a good quality sound and you don't need to kiss ass to get on and get some money if you have some business smarts, you just need them when they need you for the BIG money.

There are tons of acts that need a good musical, hip hop sound and will appreciate it and I think I'm going to focus on them and let things go from there.

The fact the "c'mon man" was candid and he was actually pissed at the engineer makes it even better...

 

[Shammago]

I didn't even realize that C'mon was not originally part of the song but instead was LL's true anger at the engineer. classic.


LL did sound candid not really angry when he said "c'mon man." Can't say the same for the rest of that track.

 

[CrossBones]

that kool moe dee diss was sounding good. but he didnt have to keep pursuing it, at that point it was done. he won. and he didnt want that small chance of dude coming back at him either

to me that's what was ill about it... made it sound like a real battle atmosphere..

like he just grabbed the mic after Moe Dee and wrecked it.

happened to be listening to this song earlier today.. the end of it is ridiculous.. makes me appreciate the song so much better now.
