when I said live, i meant recorded live as opposed to programmed... do you think the consumer would know the difference...?

you see what have here is a HATER. this person doesnt want to look in the mirror and see that his music and probably more important, his life suck. hating on people he has never met or plans on meeting is his MO and making music that his mother would love.
so, examine this man, learn his ways, and make sure that you dont do anything he does....
thank you....

They are all from the Korg triton. They still use that keyboard to death.
I'm not sure how they continue to get away with using those cheezy, unrealistic sounds.

troup you do realize that the intent may be to not have realistic sounds?
remember the dx7? the keyboard used ALL over madonna's music in the 80s (amongst others)? those sounds were unbelievably unrealistic. In the 70s producers knew what real guitars pianos and percussion sounded like. but why did that all of the sudden stop in the 80s? Instead of using the expensive keyboards and drums in their studios they decided to use a fake piano from the dx, instead of using their pearl or ludwig drum kit, they used a linndrum. its for a different effect troup. you should know that.

That was cool for the 80's. Now it just sounds cheap and cheesy.
Justify it all you want...you know this joint sounds cheap and cheesy. I love the song for what it says...but the beat sounds really amateur and fruity loop-ish.
lol...somebody did the inverse phase trick to take the vocals out of that joint.
And i rather like the Swizz joint...i thought it was a creative use of the sample.

Oddly enough the only beat I didn't really feel on the album was Haters, which many of you are being! Pharrell uses those synth like instruments as a stylistic choice, which I personally love--I think he pulls it off great and it works for the song. Sound choice is a very, very subjective thing.

I feel "So Ambitious" is one of the better tracks on the album. This track was heart felt on Jay-z and Pharrel parts. The track wasn't the traditional 16 bar (based on my count). The hook is dope "OH WELL." The horns was crazy. My favorite track.

The intro is tough, but my favorite song on the album is Thank You.

“We did it all by phone,” Williams said. “One-hundred percent. Phone and e-mail. I’ve never done that before in my life. I just sent him the joint, ’cause he beat me up for the whole album. He was just kinda like, ‘I need something to really tell a story.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’ And I sent him this track. I said, ‘I’m sending you clouds with 808s [drums] under it.’ There’s just clouds, and it’s expansive. You can just speak. It’s a blank canvas. Then I sent him the hook and played it for him, and he lost his mind.” Williams said the song was made the day Jay-Z was mastering his album, and he believes the rapper held off on completing his album until he finished the song. The result, according to Williams, is another classic. “[Just] the attack on it,” he said of the song. “Ferocious.”
