Favorite Composers??

[fonny-wuz-here]

I'm a sample-based hip-hop producer and i've always yearned to compose. I always try to throw a couple melodies or additional chords into my beat but it ends up being too much, usually when i try to compose some entirely it ends up being too empty. Is there any instrumental music you think you can steer me too that i could learn from?

other than that, post your favorites and who influences you!

Ryan Leslie comes right to mind. Watch some bands too. Roots is an obvious one. Watch live how their parts work together.

Composer is a weird (unclear) term when u talk bout hip-hop, because most producers "compose their own stuff."
Nevertheless, 1500 or nothin are a extremely talented group of cats.

Gustav Mahler. It takes a real man to write music for a giant friggin' hammer.
