Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
Makes me think though - I've been to way too many shows that had horrible sound. It was the typical soundman guy boosting the bass because it's a Hip Hop show and then the rappers all yelling to turn up their mics. -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
I remember going to a metal show and this one guy I swear he was headbanging the whole time RIGHT next to the speaker. And that shit was LOUD. He's probably dead now. -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
If we had smart phones back then we probably would have recorded stuff too, so I understand that's what they do now, but they're just missing out. I've got plenty of memories of the shows I went to, and I wish I had them on video, but it's okay that I don't. -
Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap
:this: This would actually be a fun experiment. I do feel sorry for the younger generation since they'll never experience how it was back then. For me it was just the little things like going to a venue and seeing the turntables on stage just sitting there under the lights, it was awesome to... -

Calling all the veterans
We're at that age when we're making a beat and we pause and think, "Am I having a stroke?". -
Calling all the veterans
Maybe you have early stages of dementia. Or it could be beat-itis. -
Calling all the veterans
Yeah that's it. It was cool that I got to meet a few of these guys. Clev, Excellence, Holmz, and a couple of others I did/almost met up with. Today everyone would run and hide instead of meeting someone in person. -
Calling all the veterans
I agree. This is why over the years I've left it to everyone else to reply to certain topics because I felt like it was just me doing the work. I know nowadays not many people post (not just here, it's EVERYWHERE), but it's a shame since they don't know what they're missing. There's been plenty... -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
Yeah it's like when I first used Traktor. Once I learned how I could have everything play at the same BPM it's like whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. It's cheating but so convenient. -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
That sounds interesting. I've always just done it by ear. -
Calling all the veterans
Good thread. You all know I've written countless articles over the years with plenty of tips lol. But off the top of my head right now.... If you're in a beatmaking rut then just do something. Anything. Even just for 5 minutes. Even if you just turn on your machine or open your DAW and then... -
A dedicated scratch instrument? Wow Machine prototype
This is really good for guys that just want some quick scratches over their beat. The first thing I thought of is it reminded me of the QFO from back in the day. And I agree that the price is a bit too much. -
The Forgotten Art Of Layering Samples Like Q-Tip & Prince Paul
Yeah it's hard to find samples that can sound good with one another. Bomb Squad were crazy with the samples and would come up with something new entirely. One thing I tend to do is just find something from the same artist. So for example, if I'm sampling from Herbie Hancock, I'll find samples... -
The Fog OST - "Tommy Tells of Ghost Ships"
I like the newer more. Maybe it's because it's a brighter mix, and just smoother overall. But both are dope.- Fade

The Importance of Drums
That's the thing - I know that today the drums are done differently but by studying how it was done years ago it can make a big difference. Maybe today they drag & drop a drum loop, or maybe they program their own drums, but at least do something to it. Not just that, but make the drums stand... -
The Importance of Drums
Yeah I don't use loops too much but for those struggling it's a great way to get something going. It can even just be used as a reference track where they can try to emulate it. Drums are always interesting because I think we all get lazy with them but they're so important, like you mentioned...
