    Fat Joe on today's hip-hop

    He's not on that Rakim/Nas/KRS level for sure, and I can't honestly say he'd be in my top 25 lyricists of all time, but compared to what out now??? Dude is way beyond the overwhelming majority of rappers out today.

    Fat Joe on today's hip-hop

    I would say J Cole is a good lyricist. Easily one of the cats from the last 10 years or so that I can listen to consistently. A-F-R-O as well, but he needs a real push.

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Things have changed a bit with my setup. This is it as of today. I do still have my old interfaces/consoles and my Behringer 2222FX mixer, but they need repairs. Apparently the Behringer got screwed up during the move and the Tascam FW-1082's need a cap or two replaced (I have three of them...

    What WAS your typical setup?

    The first time I ever really made a hip hop beat was in a small project studio around '91 or '92. Past that, I really got going seriously when I copped a Yamaha MU5 in '94, and not long after I grabbed a Novation MM10x controller to use with it running out to my Realistic DJ mixer, then out to a...

    Stelvio Cipriani - "Mary's Theme"

    Damn, searched on it. I knew the name sounded familiar. I ripped this from YT about 5 years ago 'cause I figured I could do something with it once my head was back into music mode. In case anyone else has problems listening.

    Im ditching most of my hardware.

    I hit that point back in 2002. Had been married for a year and we were trying to get out footing. My setup back then took up a small bedroom and for several reasons we had to move a few times within a short period of time. I got tired of lugging all of that gear around and decided that the...

    MPC X Special Edition

    Cats in this group I'm in been saying this shit is a cash grab by Akai. Personally, I liken all of these newer joints to having FL in a box, and if I wanted that, I'd just stick to using FL on a PC.

    is this a common issue? (mixing complaint)

    Those Radio Shack speakers sounded surprisingly good. They have a 1" soft dome tweeter, the enclosure is solid metal so there's very little, if any flex from low notes and it's ported. I've wanted a pair since I first saw them in the 80's but never got around to buying 'em (they were sold...

    is this a common issue? (mixing complaint)

    Yes and no. The mixing standard back in the day was the Yamaha NS10. Every single studio you went into had a pair as the primary monitors even if they had high dollar mega monitors in there as well. The rationale was that the NS10's sounded so bad that if you could gt a mix to sound good on...

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    So we moved across country last month. My recording space has been in disarray most of the time but I finally decided to start putting it together. The one thing I added was a Numark TT1610 turntable because I ended up leaving my Pyle deck in our old apartment (along with a lot of other shit...

    Multi-Platinum Producers Play Their WORST Beats!!!

    I uploaded these to Soundclick when I first made 'em (remember that???), but now when I listen to them they're pretty bad compared to the stuff that came later. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=5434922 https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=4824401...
