I’ll concede that about So Far Gone, but if I remember correctly a lot of songs on Comeback Season was just Drake spitting over established beats.
So Nas knocked down Beyonce before Jigga got to her? If so, is that a W for Nas?
yes its a true mixtape in sense. but i dunno how it works in canada…cause he sold all his mixtapes up til so far gone. i dont know if he bought all the beats or not. i mean that one track where he went phonte on it…he cuts it off sayin he didnt buy the rights yet from 9th wonder. i still dont know if thats a joke or legit truth.
personally for me it felt more diverse in what he was talkin about and def more diverse in styles of rhyming. i know people have argued otherwise, but i still believe this. sumtin about it speaks to me far far more than so far gone…maybe its cause he hadnt developed his weird fascination with strippers yet.
My dad always messing with me about my taste in girls, I like bow legged and knock kneed chicks. Not both, one or the other.
so my house is on piers like most because we are below sea level. It stormed the other day, the house settled, so you have to lift up on the doors to the house to lock them.
Dad:lift boy! lift like you pickin up one of them crooked leg big booty girls.
lmfao
so this was on my facebook feed today. i dont wanna post this in gd really cause honestly they mentally cant handle this without going into a full blown argument on religion. but i wanted to drop this cause i have the sense alot of you guys like myself feel this way about religion vs god.

One of my friends on facebook posted that, I shared it on my page. I feel like I was meant to see that, I too love church and praise and worship. But people take it too far.
That sums up my views on religion vs god.i dont like going to church anymore due to te facade ,people dress nice get dolled up give away money yet they never truly learn the lessons or comprehend what happens.Too many folks running around warping it .Megachurches with McDonald’s in them .Fire n brimstone preachers condemning people etc.
Absolutely, and I wouldn’t question the value of a rounded skill set. My point was more that the individuals not true to the form are, in my experience, most likely to neglect that aspect (footwork). Everyone wants power, but you have to build the fundamentals to get to that part of your set. A lot of people go straight to power, but don’t have enough versatility in other stylistic and connecting elements to keep more than a few sets interesting, if that. I connected footwork to style because I believe it allows for more stylistic variation than power, which, while variable, is more formulaic.
Re: Jesus vs. Religion - Decent video, must have been all over Facebook today, as more than one person was circulating it in my feed. I agree with the message. I was not feeling the instrumental that became louder and more percussive at the end, though. He didn’t record over a beat and spoken word is delivered with an individual’s own organic flow, that is not so machinated. The ‘perfect’ rhythm of the drums didn’t fit.
smh @ niggas in here hating on LMFAO like they don’t rock the beat and rock the show. sorry for party rocking on you lames.
shuffles out of the thread
I’ve never heard a song by them heh…havne’t clinked the links posted - too mobile at work to tie myself to the comp.
But hey I thought Adele was a black african looking dude until I was at Best Buy pricing something and saw it was some stereotypical white chick. Maybe it was Adwele I was thinking about…

B-Boys:
If the dudes didn’t dance to Jack the Ripper, I would of called them out…DJ’s have a couple things going for them and when you have the biggest voice and put someone on the spot…they get embarrassed and you get the respect for throwing on a REAL cut. Stop the beat and call them out; get the crowd to turn on them and then get back into your mix.
Religion:
My everyday struggle; Church I go to isn’t bad, but you see the ushers with pin striped suits, pastor looking clean all the time, etc. One thing I like is you don’t have people going to extremes (yet). I always felt your personal relationship to whomever you worship is for you and you alone (or with family, close friends) cause everyone interprets a line, thought or scripture differently depending on their own personal struggles.
LMFAO:
Dancing Robot Guy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
im not taking a group named LMFAO serious…AGAIN keep that internet slang online and in txt messages.
to everyone who thought Preemo wasn’t a Porn Head HEAVY…he talks about porno in this interview like its hip hop…saying things as some porn stars go unappreciated,and who kicked the door open for “Gonzo” porn,start at 10:20 mark:
daft punk >>>>>>
wish they’d drop another album (not a soundtrack) and tour in the u.s. again.
renee >>>
think that about sums up what i was gonna post, lol.
One of my ways around that: play some shit, then sample it. 
still have to deal with mechanical royalties and clearance issues though. It does lower the cost, but doesn’t erase the ownership. Vanilla Ice tried that and it failed…horribly…and it wasn’t a failure ‘BECAUSE’ he was Vanilla Ice…should do a song with Chocolate Cake…cake cake baby…and then they could flip it and say something about “Thats the Icing on the Cake”…granted that would be pause inducing, I’m just saying…second chance second chance!
Then they could collectively beef with Eminem & do a posse cut with ICP and call it ‘Skittles’, to which Eminem could come back at them with a track called ‘blow-pop’, throw some reto Proof verse on there for good measure,and end all FOUR of their careers!
Don’t ask, I’m bored and don’t feel like working, going to get lunch…

LMFAO Is in their lane and I’m in mine .I don’t hate not dwell on them niggas at all
I’d love to hear another re up gang record those joints were nice and fun to jam. After jamming runaway slave I realized how much I missed sampling espicially on east coast records. Out of curiousity how much has samp
Ing laws changed I’m working on a beat tape right now with a friend and I just want to see how much its changed
The rules havne’t changed, there is just so much music out now that it may take 4-5 years for you to get sued.
My advice when putting somehting together - if you are sampling, especially to sell a beat - keep a running list of all samples associated with the work - and make sure that what you are sampling isn’t a sample, because then you have to go back further and pay the right person. The leg work associated with sampling is just too much of a headache for me to dwell on it. I respect those good at sampling, but its not soething I feel is necessary, it often cheapens the effect of the music, especially when you can pin-point where it came from.
Maybe my perspective is different because I’m always worried about my type of music being judged - but in its simpelist form - sampling takes the musical skill away from the producer. Not so uch on the higher tiers, where samples get smothered together and chopped to pieces (see DJ Shadow/DJ Kno/etc) - but on a base level where the melody for a track comes from a single sample - there is no respect that should go to the producer. It doesn’t mater how they tune it - the creativity portion is shot.
iDunno…I appreciate samplig, but its an art I wish would fade away into obscurity and was replaced by people actually fabricating new and original melodies.

actually warp is right… its a point people fail to look at. luda is a best example… he couldnt sample Georgia by Ray Charles… so he got Jaime Fox to do it as a interpolation. Thus no fees due forward nor on a back ended royalty rate. Only people that are just due is the production and jamie himself…
a lot of artist can get away with murder but they refuse to find the right people that can REDO the chords or lines… how do you think jazz cds of hip hop songs survive an make loot (im really not kidding at what i just said)…
This is exactly how I feel. Why am I gonna be mad at some dudes who do silly party music with goofy videos? How does that affect me at all? It’s not like they’re out there clamoring for Grammies or trying to act like what they do is high art . They’re just doing their thing, and their thing is doing simple, catchy songs that basically say “this is a simple, catchy song, dance to it or whatever.”
