I think the best way to learn how to write / produce is to start out copying the shit out of your heroes. Yes, that yields derivative results, but originality can come later.  In the spirit of this... this is GREAT! <3 On Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 07:51:36 AM PDT, Alasdair Lyon wrote:

I think the best response to a typical discussion such as this is to try to confuse the arguments as much as possible. 1. Kraftwerk claimed to be pop and cited how much they were Motown influenced. 2. Kraftwerk had 4-4 beats. 3. Is Prince pop or electro? Roger Zapp? Dr. Dre sampling

you can add your own influence to something else. hiphop culture is all over the globe now, and it has been mutated and added on to. i personally think all of this stuff sucks, but at least it is being done by people who live that culture as best as it is done in their country. spank rock and ta

fine but my point was in terms of money - I would have not sent what I did into the hands of DJ Technics, Rod Lee, etc if it wasn't for the Hollertronix mix that put their stuff in my ears. those guys got paid more money then that might have if it weren't for the youngsters propagation of it.
