The concept behind this album is simply the fact that most modern producers take the easy road when producing in order to stack cash and gain notoriety. Rather than make hip hop, the music they make is far from it, if your hip hop then you probably write graffiti, dig in the crates, bboy or at least listen to some real hip hop from the 90s. All of the producers out there now that you hear on the radio or see on mtv, don't exhibit a single trait of someone who is hip hop. Sure everyone still calls it hip hop, and it is widely accepted that that is the new hip hop, but to me i haven't heard hip hop on the radio in a long while.
These modern producers make it look so easy, they shit out 30 beats a day and release an album a month. Nah, Hip Hop is not that easy. it takes hours just to find a sample to flip, hours in the sun and hours inhaling dust just to find a few samples. it takes hours so find your own sound, digging is the only way to have a signature style, if you dig some rare records that you know nobody has sampled than you have something that cant be replicated, whereas if your using virtual instruments or plugins, you are using the same sounds that any other asshole is using. And now most producers just download some vsts, or buy some sound libraries from a guitar center and go home and fill in drum patterns with a mouse on a program or get a midi keyboard and randomly mash key until they come up with something. they don't have any musical knowledge or education on how to play a keyboard. they just need to make as many beats as they can in the shortest amount of time, cause the sooner they finish their Hip Hop Job, the sooner they can shopping for clothes, go make a quick 100k for just showing up at some event or promoting their shit on the view or jay leno, that ain't hip hop. they are abusing hip hop. and most of the masses are happy with the hip hop we get now. its been so long since the golden age that people have given up on real hip hop ever being at the forefront of the scene. I know we are still out there and we are still making real hip hop, hip hop will never die, but none of us are surviving, none of us are acknowledged in the main stream, we have our little internet scene and underground heads know whats up, but its not the same.
Hip hop is not missed enough to come back yet, and there is nothing we can do about that. but fuck it. i will never settle for it, i will never support it, i will always make real hip hop, no matter what. if your agree with what im saying then support the producers you listen to, spread the word, share it or like it, whatever. cause it is rare nowadays to find some simple,sample based hip hop that makes your head nod up and down.
With that said, every sound you hear on this instrumental album is a sample (apart from one track that has some cromo bells that i played myself), Even the album art is sampled from real albums i have, i made this album just like they made hip hop in the 90s, i went digging every weekend, and recorded the tracks at home, hardly any mastering and eq to keep it grimy and am funding the release out of my pocket.
Whats Up Mofos,
Sorry for the hiatus but i got a new computer since my old one fucked up, but my old sound card is not compatible with my new comp, so i am unable to record any new lps. and i have had no constant access to the Internet so i haven't had any chance to update the blog and the youtube page. but i got internet now and hopefully soon ill be back.
For now ill be posting some lps from some of my favorite blogs and others who share similar needs to share some of our rare music with the blog heads.
This lp come from the legendary Redtelephone66. in my opinion he is the king of rare rock music of all the bloggers out there. no one can even keep up with redtelephone66, in his prime he was posting upwards of 10 rare lp's a day, sadly he has been under the scrutiny of the blogger police and cant really do his thing anymore, but those of us who were in the know still appreciate all the hard work he has done and he will never be forgotten. i will be posting some of my favorites that i discovered from his blog. Although he has been getting hassled up the ass by the blog police he stills keeps up his blog, check it out, it will make you pitch a tent when you see how much vinyl he has in his collection http://www.redtelephone66.com
Here goes a rough draft of a beat i am working on for my next beat tape. just a little preview of what the new beats will sound like. the next beat tape will be mainly latin samples once again. ive tried to stray away from sampling latin stuff since its all i normally use and wanted to get a different sound, but i cant seem to find enough samples when i dig for soul, funk, afro music or psychedelic stuff, and when i do make a beat that i like from a soul sample , i always end up finding out that someone already used it. thats why ive tried to dig for different stuff that most would pass up, for example if i find a dope sample on a record that has a lame ass gay cover, chances are that most other producers passed it up and it hasn't been sampled yet. my next beat tape is gonna have beats sampled from 80's cumbias and salsa. i think its something different and hopefully you mofos like it. peep the beat out and keep your eyes open cause i'll be posting some more lps and the beat tape is coming soon
BEAT BATTLE # 4
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE SUBMITTING.
Download the sample for the battle below, make your beat and read the submissions rules below.
as far as producing goes there are no regulation or stipulations.
no time limit, no end date, I will continue to post submissions as they come in
I will post all the submission here. Everybody can listen to the submissions
and leave comments for who you think killed it, who is was wack, give constructive criticism.
discuss some hip hop and so forth, no voting. and I will also be letting you know who I think killed it,
who had the illest drums, illest chops, illest loops and so forth.
And please share the battle with the homies on facebook, twitter or whatever.
But one warning, Hip Hop is something sacred to me, and if I feel that your submissions are not hip hop,
I will not be posting your submissions, if I hear any name dropping, snare rolls or nothing but hand claps instead of snares, basically if it sounds like it belongs on the radio I will not be including it, so be warned.
And before I get the hater card thrown at me, I just need to
say that I do indeed hate this type of hip hop and I believe something that sucks should be hated, so don’t waste our time. we are all about continuing the ethics and methods of making hip hop with samples rather than sound libraries and midi keyboards.
so don’t be surprised to get denied if you come with club beats or any shit that ain’t hip hop
