whats funny is that a lot of times, i end up coming across some obscure song and BAM!!!! i hear the melody that i thought was really "original" from one of the big label artists!!!
i wish i could recall right now, but i have stopped "listing" them, cuz it happens so often.
but i thought, for instance, that NAS song -- "thief's theme" was FINALLY an original baseline . . . and last week i heard the original song in a commercial about OLD tunes . . .
the biggest reason i ask, is because i am saving up money for a keyboard (triton hopefuly) and i am just . . . mad at how many people are still not trying to create their own baselines and melodies . . .
