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.
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. I guess I could say the same thing about the top selling electronic artists though, that's mostly been the same boring sh*t remixed and repackaged for years now hmmm -Arturo On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:14 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: fyi, just a few years back, juan atkins played a cutup of cybotron ala missyand jeff mills, eg, samples a paid in full on shifty disco... examples of the interchange between between hip hop and techno although, at the moment, i wouldnt spend a buck on kanye's album, one cannot deny that hiphop producers certainly do push technology forward. ps, to all the naysayers of metro area's fabric cd...are you kidding me?
