    interesting that it's loops from garage band. Are the sounds in garage band, including the loops, public property or do you have to clear that stuff? I am assuming you still have to clear it.

    On a side note. I'd shoot myself if I had to hang out with that kid for more than 5 minutes.

    that kid is a riot.

    i think the usher single is pretty shitty anyway

    dude sounded a little like he might have retardation.

    anyway you could tell he was too shook to actually say polow bit this beat. instead he resorted (repeatedly, over and over) to the vague adjective "crazy."

    he should have gone all the way and put dude on blast.

    at least with presets you're coming up with your own lines and melodies. Using the straight loop from the software is much bigger shortcut. I'm not mad at him though. If no one noticed, then Polow just pulled an extremely lucrative fast-one.

    If no one cared and they went ahead and "cleared" a GarageBand loop, then that speaks to the sorry state of hip-hop/R&B. or does it? I don't know.

    The song is garbage anyway, so fuck it.

    in all honesty, it's no different than a dude adding drums to some guitar loop he sampled off of a record.

    It's the same shit. Obviously vinyl is near and dear to most of us and we've all got that "it's hip hop yo" thing in us that tells us it's wrong to sample something off of garage band, but there is no difference really. He's making beats for Usher, not making the new Afu-Ra banger.

    Jeff with his mac mini and CRT monitor < Polow's making money however he do.

    Sure, and at the end of the day I'm not mad at Polow at all. Get that money.

    But to play the "real schitt" devil's advocate for a second, Garageband loops are on everyone's computer. At least with a loop off of a record you had to look for the record, take the sample and EQ it a little. There's a tad more effort involved as I'm sure you can attest to.

    Sampling Garageband is tantamount to interpolating "I'm Coming Out." It's right there in front of everyone. Mad obvious, but mad effective. Puff got that loot and I'm still not mad at him for it.

    Someone, maybe even someone on SS, is going to make a hot-ass beat using some crazy thing they found on Youtube. There are no rules anymore. If it's hot, that's all that matters.

    if this track was hot i would defend him, but its not, so fuck him this is pretty much hackery

    sayin' or at the very least you could easily compare this to sampling library records

    this track sucks though

    Logic, actually.

  • this kid is so annoying I couldn't listen to more than 30 seconds but I got the gist. and no, I don't think you have to clear a garageband sample. that's one of the major perks to using it as opposed to sampling from a record put out by an artist. those library files are up for the taking, and honestly, there's some pretty good ones in there.

    He look like Telly from KIDS.


  • dude sounded a little like he might have retardation.



    Ha..my man is sounding like Telly/Leo Fitzpatrick

  • He look like Telly from KIDS.



    Wow, two Telly references about two different people.

    He's using the Neko which basically allows you to copy a sound and spread over the keys as if it were an instrument....prettty lame though that he has to resort to that kinda shit...

    If you sample a bass sound try to spread it over some keys you would never get the real tone/note variations.16 levels is nothing compared to a true realistic reprouction of octaves that you can get with that Neko keyboard.

    Well they're sister programs, so I could see it ending up on GB too.

    One of my brothers mates always refers to his laptop as his APPLE MAC. All I can think of is -
