Try taking out unnecessary usb cords
This is cool. [media]http://soundcloud.com/mixchopin/dre-next-episode-remix[/media]
I liked the loop at the beginning but it gets killed by compression once the rapping stars Dre's vocals aren't beatmatched very well also
[QUOTE=TH89;27288894]I liked the loop at the beginning but it gets killed by compression once the rapping stars Dre's vocals aren't beatmatched very well also[/QUOTE] Yeah the Dre verse is offbeat, but I think that was intentional.
Why would make something intentionally bad?
[QUOTE=CheeserCrice;27283057]Deltron 3030 is pretty bad in my opinion. Del tha funky homosapien is a great rapper but the production sounded crap on most of it, and it seemed a bit rushed.[/QUOTE] I don't know, I quite like it tbh
deltron 3030 is one of those productions where obvious laziness and marijuana was involved, in a good way kind of like a madlib track

I liked most of the production.
[QUOTE=attackyourself!;27288732]This is cool. [media]http://soundcloud.com/mixchopin/dre-next-episode-remix[/media][/QUOTE] The original is far far better imo

i don't know if you guys heard of jay electronica, hes fairly new and he is very very different from any other rapper, and its amazing. i'm sure alot of you would like him a lot. check him out: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE4CFBY9RGs[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClGUQk_lZiU&feature=related[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHiWrvGWeUU&feature=related[/media]

Finally, Jay gets some recognition.
[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;27307239]Finally, Jay gets some recognition.[/QUOTE] well, ever since he got signed by roc nation, hes been getting a lot of exposure. admittedly the signing is what made me notice him too.
I'm not sure if the term "fairly new" can be used to describe any dude who's got Erykah Badu preggers.

I actually heard Jay elect last year when Exhibit C was played through the radio in my city I thought it was like the special they do when old school joints are played for like 3 hours. So I looked him up and found out it was a brand new song.
I remember when I first head about Jay in like '07, I heard his Sampler and StyleWars EP's then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and was blown away. If anyone hasn't heard Eternal Sunshine here it is [U][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWc4DG1s53g[/media] [/U]He didn't drop anything for a while after that, and I totally forgot about him until I heard Exhibit A on Fight Night Round 4 and fell back in love. I really hope he doesn't just sell out with this Roc Nation deal, nothing wrong with making money, just keep making the same good music. [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=CheeserCrice;27302023]He just didnt sound on top form imo[/QUOTE] The production was done by Dan the Automator, and it's probably the best production Del has ever had sans Gorillaz IMO. I can see not liking it, but rushed is that last thing I think of when I hear songs like "3030" "Mastermind" "Madness" "Time Keeps on Slipping" etc.
3030 isn't my favorite album but it's pretty interesting and underground fans consistently list it as having some of the best production evarr so I definitely wouldn't say it had bad beats.

Learning to use Ableton. Wooh.
well meanwhile i'm learning how to use this new sex machine my friend bought from a yard sale it's definitely a drum machine from an organ
GOOD MUSIC pretty much ran hip-hop in 2010, especially the latter half. They have a pretty much perfect roster of veterans (Kanye, Common, Pusha T), along with newer artists like Cyhi and Cudi [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwENnKH9k9A[/media] And as cliche as it sounds, you can't forget about G-Unit. 50 cent was like the posterboy rapper of the past decade.

some loops just don't die [editline]10th January 2011[/editline] referring to that freestyle up there
