Yeah Jadion, ...you need to ease up with saying "nigger". Whether you care or not, I find it offensive. I don't agree with you, but I definitely wouldn't attack you with such derrogatory language. On the contrary, you seem intent upon pushing people's buttons. That's your crutch, and that's...

what's up b.c.? I'm from Southfield. ten mile and greenfield. I'm stuck out here in the desert (Albuquerque, NM) now, but my boys were behind that Obie Trice performance last weekend. holla. -L

chill... ...I'ma come at you on the peace tip. I see your point. I do my thing, and I'm not too worried with what other cats are doing to eat. But still, I'm a grown ass man. Don't ever tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing with my time. "I got a right ta..." one. -L

is... ....is th-that y-you, suge? i'm out.

I agree 100%... ...my only beef is with those who break out their soapbox and start preaching to the folks about what hip hop could have done for them and their children had it not been sold out. These are the same folks who never do a damn thang about it. I agree that hip hop could have been...

yeah, i started to rant off topic... ...but my point was basically this. Black people, ---- that, poor people in general shouldn't have to look to musicians (for whom music is a job) for guidance. Nobody should have to expect anyone who is an entertainer to educate the people. Don't wait on...

I am so tired... ...of self professed "hip hop purists" saying that everything was so much better back in the day. Yeah life was perfect in Africa, but then they put us on the boats. When we get to America, we didn't complain about how great is was in the motherland, WE GOT FREE! When are ya'll...

I'll have to agree. Your rhythms are hard to follow. Especially when you changed the first beat up and the guitars played counter melodies. One guitar seemed to be ahead of the beat, and the other behind. Do you use any sequencing software, midi, or programming. Computers may be the devil to...

The problem is not... ...writing in ten minutes or first-take perfection. The problem is rooted in the majors' ability to shove that ish down the throats of the masses. It's all supply and demand. If that's what the people (the women, really) want, that's what you have. Trust, if people were...

I'll get down witcha. I can't fly out there, but pm an address and we can get something crackin. What type of genre are you in? RnB, Hip Hop, Gospel? Intergalacticgospohop smoothed out on the rnb tip? Let me know your influences, and where you want to go with your ideas and songs. I'll send...

personally... ...I wouldn't trip on sample clearance. If you chop a beat up and change the rhythms, most of the suits at the majors wouldn't notice. Even if they do, they won't pursue litigation unless they find it financially worthwhile (mo' $, mo' $, mo' $). Show your skills at chopping up...

Ya'll must've forgot! Roy Jones Jr! Just kidding. I'll pick BLACK THOUGHT from the Roots anyday.

Damn, damn, damn, James!!! That was nice. Real nice. Nice like if you had that, two other bonafide singles and some sappy ballads, my check for $13.99 would be on it's way. damn. Keep that up. You're definitely blessed. -L

oops.... ...I forgot Real Love drums = Top Billin Drums. " I was illin, Puff was stealin, What more can I say? We livin That's what we got We got it good And I hope ya'll understood PEACE!" *strikes the RUN-DMC pose*

by far... ...Real Love - Mary J. Blige You can't tell me ya'll weren't jammin on that one! ***USE THIS IDEA*** Demo producers: Sample the first few bars of that joint, loop it and let your mc shine! If (s)he has skills, (s)he'll kill that ish!

definitely... ...learn to master the use of the diminished 7th chord. That's the chord that gives gospel (and gospelrnb) that "churchy" feel. There's only four to learn, but it's priceless in that genre. Listen to R.Kelly's "seems like you're ready". The turnaround chord is a dim7th (C, Db...

those... ...are really well-written musical ideas. I really like that jazzy-rnb feel you put in there. It's just.... I don't think your vocalist had the range you needed to pull that song off. My co-worker said she sounded like a screaming child! I disagree, but the melodies should be written...

I also meant to add... ...I'm in the key of G. My chords are Amin, G, Bmin, Cdim-dim7, Emin, Bdim-dim7. The G chords are played with the 3rd in the bass, and the diminished C also has the third in the bass. The diminished B is played with the dim 7th in the bass, and all other chords have the...

I have a hip-hop flavored beat, but I want a gospel sounding chorus. I have no words yet, but I read and write music, so referring to tonics and sub dominants and altos/ sopranos wont confuse me. When I get my lyric/ melody, how do I go about harmonizing it to sound like a church choir? Also...

I'm a brand newbie around here. Just wanted to wish all ya'll well with your musical endeavors. Raise it up! get this, money... -L
