All these docs, interviews, podcasts (Fuse's crate diggers, Juan Epstein, etc.) are great internet content.
I watched this after the T.R.O.Y doc looking to see where the drums were from. The dude puts together a quality tutorial.
If they can get funding from them whats the issue?
:hated_it:
No issue at all, more power to them. Getting that kind of backing is be fantastic for a website. I just thought it was strange that a multi-billion dollar business would not only advertise during, but promote the content of a small web-based media outlet. I don't think 90's hip hop when I think of McDs advertising...maybe something more like this:
It worked, I really want a Big Mac.
Despite it's status as played out what a classic song... Can still remember where I was the first time I heard it. Almost got in a fight over playing this out around 2005 when some local rapper ran up on me salty I wouldn't play his demo. Was like this isn't 1996 anymore blah blah blah. Great retrospective piece tho, rest in peace Troy Dixon.
brb going to McDonalds.
Remember the Sprite commercials? I bet many of the check writers know TROY. Its the one of the backbone Golden Age hits.
Shit,.....we already had a hamster commercial w/ The Choice Is Yours.
There, fixed.
"where the geeks meet the streets".... oof
but otherwise chill
so an interesting story about the drums is that Elektra never cleared the "Say It Loud" sample. And when Lupe wanted to re-use the beat, they couldn't use the drums because they had never been cleared in the first place.
Thank you for this.
