Re: (313) Kanye's New LP
tell sampling sucks to jay dee. tell it to rza right after the first wu teng dropped. no wait, tell sampling sucks to derrick may, who proclaimed, we dont sample, masters at work does. see what i'm getting at? at the end of the day, we can argue about semantics. and just argue and get nowhea I mean, sh*t, I'd rather pick rip out my gray hairs than listen to more than 7 minutes laptop cali "dj" x's cd on fabric, and i love the metro area one. those guys are originals, have integrity, and soul. Other people are feelin the opposite way, and i hope i'm not stuck at their party. All I know is, it's too easy to get upset over this stuff. and the other point is, crosspolinations are good. ps, name that hip hop sample on ms-1 pps where the old mayday radio mixtapes at?

You see the subject line, and you think 'how ridiculous.' Exactly. PS Cheese and Metro Area. Cheesy music is just emotionally effective music that people relate to immediately. Only it's gone way over the line into bathos and pandering. There's a whole lot of awesome that happens when someone tiptoes right up to that line without crossing it.

More Beyonce and less Britany and Im a happy man! POp music has been doing well for me latley. Im loving Common's new single "Universal Mind Control". Sounds like a Bambatta sample or Eygptian Lover. Everything Estelle does is Gold! Must check it. Q-tip has a new single which uses a Dilla beat with a jackson 5 sample "let's Move" Off the heezzy. ALso John Legend has a pretty good new dance floor single called "Im ready to go right now" i think. S**t Hot. A
Re: (313) Kanye's New LP
That's simplifying things. My comments were said that sampling and adding some rhymes didn't constitute pushing things in new directions. I enjoy a lot of that stuff quite a bit, but it's popcorn. There's nothing -wrong- with popcorn, and I like a lot of music that has no aims except to entertain but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's not pushing things. ...but in general, yes, most sampling does not bring much creativity.

Re: (313) Kanye's New LP
In what ways do you think hip hop producers have pushed technology forward lately? I don't think they've pushed that much on anything for the last twenty years or so. I think a majority of popular hip hop over the last few decades have just been a series of funk and soul samples cut up for pop sensibilities, with a good amount of raiding the electronic music side of things for instrumentation and software. When 'new' sounds crop up to popular rotation in hip hop, it usually just sounds like a specific kit on reason or somethingLook at any of the very top selling artists over the last 15 years or so, Dre, Snoop, 2Pac, WuTang, Ghostface, Kanye, etc all the popular acts, they have a good chunk of their best selling music that are repackaged soul/funk songs with new lyrics. This doesn't mean it's not fun music, just not really pushing.

Re: (313) Kanye's New LP
I didn't really dig any of the new Kanye stuff I heard, but I like him fine. He is an open-minded music fan. Soultek (aka Echospace and sorta part of Deepchord now? Dunno) was at a studio in Chicago a few years back and was recording/playing some of his stuff...Kanya was hanging out in the commons room or something and was really excited about it and was also apparently super nice. So there's a totally mangled and silly second hand story but still...cool. I love autotune, I just didn't get into the new Kanya stuff. But he's definitely an artist and legitimate music fan and not just mainstream crap you can write off as mainstream crap. I've been really into that Beyonce Single Ladies song for like 3 days so far. I like the beat, techno/dubstep (or whateverstep) bite but it's nice...pads wooo! and the video is super.

I didn't like the Metro Area mix at all but then again I don't like disco much, not even Devo could save it for me! The Tejada mix is getting a few plays around the studio. Petar Dundov's Escapements and Extrawelt's new one seem to be the favourites at the moment tho both highly recommended. m

Perish the thought :) I thought that's what everyone liked about them, it's cheese you can enjoy and not feel bad about. -Arturo "I like the Metro Area Fabric mix. It has some cheesy talking from Morgan & Darshan at he beginning of the mix which is unnecessary, but the mix itself is enjoyable."
