hehe yep, that's totally what it is, with sloppier sampling >i mean, i dont know how much time youve spent in bmore, but one of the >great things about it is club music. they rock it on mainstream hiphop haha, not much, but i've been knowing about it, i remember when it first popped up and former list member legend teep was all about it. there used to be a label called knuckleheadz (sp?) that i was really into...i sold all of it tho.. down here we call it bmore club. the mid-atlantic is a cool place musically, i mean it's crazy go-go music is still big in dc and most of the rest of the country has never heard of it, much less actually heard the music...and it's all over fm radio there. >March from star wars with an amen break under it, really raw and goofy >tracked out breakbeat stuff. theyve been doing it for a minute, check haha yeah, it probably sounds even worse than the description, there's a lot of really really bad ultra-tracky stuff....but some dope ones....i got one a few months ago that is a mashup of percolator and fela kuti, pretty hot >he may be a really cool guy and be down with lots of good music, but i >feel like he is misrepresenting a local music for ironic means. i dunno man, sometimes it's unfair to blame the artist. blame the hypemachine(s). everything i've read about him is very humble and straightforward -- and doesn't even mention bmore. it's all nyc...i dunno. other bmore stuff can blow up in it's own right, i don't see that ayres and spank are holding anybody down, unless they really did steal someone else's sound straight up...but i don't hear that, at least not with what i've heard... i mean technics and a bunch of other bmore guys are all up in the soundtrack to The Wire and i thought they had some major record deals stemming from that? they are definitely representing bmore in that show at least, which is a pretty big deal... >it doesnt matter that theyre white, if they were representing real >club music. but theyre taking the most superficial bits about it and >turning it into a joke. you know how i feel about this kind of thing. i don't hear it that way. their music is a joke, but that doesn't mean the music they are influenced by is, or that their music isn't still good. see pubahs >> lots. look for lil uno's and boo ski's solo stuff too..."uno" by lil uno is >> like doug e fresh >> 1986 except from the bay 2007, same instrumentation, massive reverbed 808 >> beats > >sounds nice. you probably will hear some bad stuff and get turned off...they're all like 17-19 years old, max. and they are hot on mtv etc. still, i approve. if you don't like too short, you probably won't like this either tho (lyrics are cleaner, but the rest is too short evolved...) >ive been buying up Inner City and Prestige stuff recently, but really >ive just been buying and playing all kinds of jazz stuff recently. >Azimuth's first brazil only album has been on constant repeat for me >recently, what a brilliant record. i've been listening to sabu martinez a bunch...pretty great. and oh, old jazzy hiphop, that's a totally different story. even new stuff done in the old style, it just sounds stale or something (like lifesavas). but then there's madlib (sometimes) and yeah some slum village black milk etc etc...but i probably couldn't list more than 10 current producers of jazzy stuff that i really like. i am after more esoteric electronic sounding stuff fosho..
