true but i think you're giving these new producers too much credit. i'm guessing their influences are other beats made in the last 2 years. they'd sooner site the neptunes as an influence then anything made before they were born.Thun wrote:The kids have teh interwebz now.

rap is about more then lyrics... maybe one day you will understand...Mindbender Futurama wrote:I don't want to release any of my new songs just yet, but here's a few old ones that are kinda slammin (both were on Beautiful Mutant):Thun wrote:Post the song of yours that you think is better.
Weapon X - http://www.zshare.net/audio/557236486c379b5f/
(my only other alias is also the name of a song I did... I gotta get it out there before this Wolverine: Origins movie comes out and someone tries to get slick, ha ha. I love the El-P sample in the hook coming in after Lil Kim and Shyne)
"your homeboy's a creative rap hater now/ before he was a poseur skater when the 'Glaciers of Ice' record was changing my life forever/ you new school know-it-all nerds are lying to me/ sing 'Til Infinity but you weren't bumping no Souls of Mischief in '93..."
"origin unknown like Logan, but marijuana cigars is what I'm smoking/ brain developments build will power to superhuman levels until my skeleton frame cannot be broken"
"while others get pleasure for talking shit/ I'm trying to become the most dominant modern myth/ even if nobody wants to listen/ fuck keeping it, I own reality like competition is non-existant"
Love In The Air - http://www.zshare.net/audio/5572385109aea65c/
"not endlessly enemies with the opposite of me/ i just become observant of what perversion is dominant in another person's consciousness"
"love for hate is popular/ so I just to the sun and pray for the Second Coming date of the great Tupac Shakur/ to take us to the promised land and demolish Klan members wearing swastikas disguised as Babylon police officers..."
seriously... I don't think I'm that bad of a rapper, and these are a few of the reasons why. :cookiecookie:
turn it up and bathe in the goodness
You'd be surprised how much musical knowledge some young people have gathered though. I'm sure in 1987 a lot of older people would have scoffed at the notion that a bunch of project niggers from the Bronx and Queens were able to differentiate between single drum hits from the obscure portion of the JBs discography too.Blockhead wrote:true but i think you're giving these new producers too much credit. i'm guessing their influences are other beats made in the last 2 years. they'd sooner site the neptunes as an influence then anything made before they were born.Thun wrote:The kids have teh interwebz now.

truth be told i have very little faith in both young people making music and musicians in general. MIMS producers are pretty far down the list of people i would guess have a large musical scope. i've met too many guys who make those types of beats who would put swizz beats as their #1 influence. but the fact it makes dinosaurs motherfuckers like us think of that older shit is kinda nice. weather it's intentional or not. i was happy just to hear an attempted club joint with no auto-tune.Thun wrote:You'd be surprised how much musical knowledge some young people have gathered though.

I been sleepin on this, but I like it.Rabbi Jihadovich wrote:This song is pretty fresh.
I dont think MIMS is a terrible rapper at all actually.
I mean he's not spectacular by any means, but he's def not wack.
Am i the only person that actually really liked his album?
And I listened to Music Is My Savior when it dropped. I actually have a coppy cuz he had the release party at Bricks (now called Voyage) in Downtown and gave out some copies.
Tracks from it that I recall vibin to:
Big Black Train
Where I Belong
I Did You Wrong
Yeah, I too am olde Tymee with it so I definitely tend to think not many cats who specialize in this kind of beat now would know the difference if you went from a MIMS song to say, PSK in a club. I too have met far to many people who for whatever reason consider all this to have started with Manny Fresh and the Neptunes.Blockhead wrote:truth be told i have very little faith in both young people making music and musicians in general.

That said I know for a fact in certain places like Miami and a lot of the south the drum machine shit never really went out of style so I'd love to see what some of these dudes would say if asked. Outside of the obvious, "you cant sample shit anymore" and before this digresses anymore, This beats dope.
