Nice, slow breaks where you can enjoy the syncopation and get your head nod on
Fast breaks that only sound good to speed freaks and usually are over before you know it

Maybe that's for a reason
FUCK THE DUMB
It's ALL ABOUT DISCO BREAKS.
Seriously, some of fav. kicks and snares have come from some crazypoprock-type of "boogie" 12''s
"I don't really listen to people when they talk because I'm really just about myself these days."
this is the part where sketch turns up his booombox and starts uprocking like "what what?!" and odub's standing there arms crossed, nodding his head like "you don't want none homie" ahaha
BATTLE!
I'm just anticipating hearing what you're gonna have on the mix. Intriguing like the records found in other cities.
This kinda sounds like you're saying "Yeah, you're right. You can't compete with my mix... but I'll check yours." That bboy confident swagger in full effect!

dude, don't make me sound like that dude.
Delay's 12" cut melts my face off. I think he's gonna be bringing some heat.
"I'm Ready" knocks.
But my son could play that beat, and I don't even have a son.
You're the one verbally up-rockin'!
Sike, nah. My boss is gone and I'm bored at work. Don't mind me.

Never put the Soulstrut before the seeds.
If I actually had brain cells left, I'd sit down and compile a list of good, slower breaks though I think we might first have to define what is "slow" and what is "fast". I'd probably have to put Love's "Doggone" in the slow category. And if "Amen Brother" defines the fast break, sheeeeeet, that's like what? 120 bpm?
I'm gonna claim the territory of 94 bpm+
You get 93bpm-
..and the first half of Doggone = Fast, second half = Slow
second half = easier to sample, banging in the trunk, yes
but the first half = that real fire.
94+ is fast? In what mindgardenuniverse is that the case? I think slow breaks are 90 BPM or slower and fast breaks are 105 and higher and everything in between are off limits to both of us.
Every section of "Doggone" is usable, I've used it so many times I know it in reverse. I've been doing some research to see if any other versions of "Doggone" may have been recorded. Not "released", but recorded during those sessions, because George Suranovich (r.i.p.) was just sick. He may have been sharing his Ed Thigpen influence, but "Doggone", that's my beat.
I'm also looking for any live versions. I know there's a version of "Doggone" recorded in Copenhagen around the release of the album, but the MP3 cuts right when the drum solo starts.

(George Suranovich obituary)
My favorite quote from the above link:
Of all his experiences, Love was George's favorite, and he always spoke highly of Arthur. He was a great admirer of Lee's "street smarts", and enthusiastically told of how they'd rent a 16-track recorder for their house, record a bunch of tracks, then return it and refuse to pay for it, claiming it didn't perform adequately. In return they'd get a new machine, record more tracks, return it without paying, etc. The albums Four Sail[/b] and Out Here[/b] were recorded in this manner.
gotta cut out the middle somewhere.
how about 95.6 bpm? fairer?
94 bpm is the perfect hip hop tempo.
Offset.
Nonset.
Dipset.
Bla-dah.
If it's dope it's dope.
p.s. i prefer fast breaks.
