im feeling this new 50 track a lot too

went to my friend's cd release show last night and they did the song that i played bass on, was pretty fun to hear it through a huge ass PA and it went over well with the crowd, definitely a cool moment for me.

did they loop a few bars of your playing for that track or did you play over the whole thing?

live bass playing is v underrated in rap production, it's pretty much the reason "Lemonade" is my favorite beat of the last couple years

sort of a combo, was interesting to record in a non-band context...basically he sent me the track in parts w/o vox and then with vox, i worked up a verse, chorus, and bridge part....went down to the studio and he just had me play it about 5 times straight through, just ignoring if i made mistakes etc....then he had me play about three times just doing little improv fills and stuff....the end product i think the verses and chorus are basically "live takes" but from whatever of the original takes was the best, then i can hear when he edited in little one-bar fills that i did in the improv takes at certain points....then certain parts he cuts out the bass for a bar here and there...

he showed me how he does everything, like USB turntable hooked into 2 MPCs and how he makes loops and chops up samples and stuff like that, then "plays" them on the MPC...all very cool to see a hip hop process and how it works...

one thing that was confirmed to me is that musicians who say "oh i could do that, it's just sampling people's music" is obv bullshit, there's a lot of stuff that goes into it...jess also said it's getting pretty hard to find "loops" anymore cuz everything has been used so much, you really have to chop samples up and reconfigure stuff....

ha i would never put myself in the league of Mr. Dean (or Stan the Guitar Man)

another cool thing that never occured to me:

some stuff that sounds like a drum loop sample is actually totally played by the producer...he showed me how he will actually get specific snare, cymbal, and bass hits from, say a jazz record that he likes the sound of, then assign those specific hits to MPC pads, so you are basically just making a drum machine beat, but the sounds are "real" from a record...i spose lots of dudes do that but whenever i hear "live" sounding drums i always assume it's a loop

Also one of the reasons Rhythm-al-ism is my favorite lp, and also why Too $horts 90s output was so great.

^^^all otm

man that album "100 Wayz" that the Dogg Pound put out last year is REALLY good. a hell of a lot better than Dogg Chit. each cut has more of a distinct sound to it, and Daz is pretty on point production wise.

This one's a fav of mine now...

That is all...

if anyone has $400 just laying around... http://www.younglproductions.com/beats/

according to the liner notes, Daz and Soopafly did that one. and yep, that's Dru Down.

the whole album kinda fits into this vein, which is surprising given the direction they had gone on Dogg Chit. been banging this album all weekend.

gun sounds video of the year

RHYMESAYERS ANNOUNCES 4th ANNUAL SOUNDSET FESTIVAL MAY 29th
LINEUP TO INCLUDE ATMOSPHERE, BIG BOI, CURREN$Y, AND MANY MORE

Rhymesayers Entertainment and Rose Presents bring you the fourth annual Soundset Festival: the official Midwest kick-off of the summer with nine hours of the best independent Hip Hop music in one day. It all goes down at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN (rain or shine).

Confirmed artists for Soundset 2011 include: Atmosphere, Big Boi, De La Soul, Slaughterhouse (Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce da 5'9", Crooked I), Brother Ali, Doomtree (P.O.S, Dessa, Sims, Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan, Lazerbeak, Papertiger), Evidence x Rakaa-Iriscience x DJ Babu, Mac Miller, Curren$y, Blueprint, Grieves & Budo, Zion I & The Grouch, Sab The Artist, DJ Abilities, Face Candy, Edan with special guest Paten Locke, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Looptroop Rockers, Rubberoom, Soulcrate Music, 2Mex, Mr. Gene Poole, Qwazaar, Longshot, MaLLy, Desdamona, Duenday, Midwest Konnect, Rocky Diamonds, Stage One, Shortkut, Noam The Drummer, Exile, Maseo, Skeme Richards, Kid Cut Up and Espada. Hosted by Toki Wright, Carnage and Kevin Beacham.

In 2010, Rhymesayers and Rose Presents produced the third year of Soundset to an outdoor festival setting at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN with over 18,000 people in attendance, including: two stages with over 40 artists performing, B-Boy battles, MC battle, live DJs, live artists painting, skateboard demos and a custom car show. Soundset 2011 is expected to be even bigger this year!

I guess Atmosphere/Big Boi/De La/Slaughterhouse are listed alphabetically and not by order of importance?

it's atmosphere's festival so i think they always headline

also that's why doomtree is so high on the bill over curren$y and stuff, they can draw usually like 1500+ for one of their big club shows in mpls

interesting. i always geek out over band placement in these festivals; who has the clout and pull to get higher billing intrigues.

krit's 'return of 4eva' now available for download (it asks for an email but doesn't send the link there so you can give a fake one) http://returnof4eva.com/music.php

yeah soundset now has a lot more national artists but it started as more of a rhymesayers hometown lovefest

though now that i'm thinking about it, i kinda wonder if atmosphere couldn't outdraw de la and slaughterhouse almost anywhere?

theres a new rich boy mixtape too

the Krit track w/ raheem devaugh samples the same rufus/chaka track as this

woooops

another track from that Dogg Pound

this is dope. ab-soul & kendrick lamar.

sad lmao expose of worldstar in vibe

i'm glad there's finally something kind of official i can point to when bummy mixtape rappers boast that their video has like 40 million views on WSHH or whatever

rich boy mixtape is legit amazing

i think my fav joint on this is "fresh cut" remix which i guess was an eldorado red solo joint? dude kills it

he bites oj flow but it's so dope

still in the kitchen and i'm screamin white power
sell a half a brick every goddamn hour

goon thread always so cryptic

what is the rich boy mixtape called and is it too much work to c/p a link

sorry -- someone mentioned it upthread

if it wasn't for the fact that it was put on the internet for free & has a few one verse tracks, it would be kind of a disservice to call this a mixtape -- it's extremely sonically cohesive

"all i know" is kinda the stunner

thankyou!

"upthread" always = under the cut by the time i wake up, yall post too much

(i still can't work out bookmarks)
