Pull up a chair and sit down and be prepared to get pissed off (well at least most of you).
I think this cat has lost his damn mind.
FIRST
An article I just read (I’m looking for the link) brought attention to this fronten ass ways. His album cover says “made with real vinyl” and unless he is pressing up just to DJ he is full of Sh!t cuz lots of those records he has on his album were never pressed to the article writers knowledge and considering the artists I highly doubt they were.
SECOND
The way he mixed this album sucked to me. I HATE when the DJ spins back to the same spot a million times in a track unless it’s live but in a recording you expect me to purchase and listen to multiple times that is a nuisance. On the Royce track Ding I swear the nicca lost his mind. The first time I listened to it the R.I.P. Proof part damn near drove me to turn the album off he replayed it so many times. This isn’t the only song he does this in it’s just the one that fucced me up the most because I’m a big Royce fan and he was ruining his track. In Black Poet’s Voices Poet doesn’t start actually spitting until 1:50 into the song because this nicca Premo is feeling himself to damn much cutting it up that whole time.
THIRD
He’s talking about “button pushers” and he sounds so perturbed with advancements in technology and when the O.G.’s start complaining about change to me it’s like they are becoming detached from the natural evolution of their culture. At some point every generation becomes so detached from the following generation that they forget the battle their parent’s generations spawned with them in the same fashion about changes and how it isn’t as good blah blah blah. My problem with his complaining is talent is talent and NO computer creates talent. Just because technology makes a function of any kind easier that doesn’t mean you have talent and can and will use this function effectively. It’s easy as hell to make beat’s now thanks to FL or hell take it a step further and say E Jay for the super beginner and we hear more garbage now then ever. If you don’t agree with me so far you have to admit this, saturation of "me to" producers increases competition and requires yester years kings to revamp and break the mold once again the same what they did to get their name in the first place and this is also a requirement of a new perspective who wants a real name in the game. The game needs an incentive to do something new IMO otherwise we would get cookie cutter bull**** force fed to us more then we already do. This is why I think it’s cool that the "me too" producers create the drum kits of every super producer, send they ass back to the lab to do something NEW and amazing. Anyone with the technical aptitude can mimic second for second anything that any DJ or producer does and for those with more technical aptitude then skill that’s all they do. Music is just 0’ and 1’ now in the digital world all you have to do is line them up the same right?
I didn’t even listen to the whole album yet I just wanted to get that off my chest and see what people thought. I haven’t been here in a few months so I’m getting some ish off my chest trying to see where your heads are at now I guess lol.
