I definitely see your point. And it's a very good one. I think what I was trying to say fell off the rails a bit. I've tried to spin my point in a million different ways. None of them seem to resonate. To me, it's kinda like how funk, as a …

Hmmm? Play a Premo beat to her or something? Not sure.
-
Now Im preaching and pretty much annoying myself. Nice debate/discussion though. Take it easy.

As a measure of shit then and now, grab a Billboard mag, check the charts in 1970 through 79. Then look at today's issue. Fact is, corporate influence on who gets signed is more perverse today than it ever has been. And music is, as a result, more o…

Yes. Jesus. This is going nowhere and getting too cerebral with every post. Mine included. I guess it's like my dad talking about the good old days, and how music isn't what it used to be. As an aging hip hop fan since 87, I'm repeating that same pa…

Editing. Sure. Have you seen Kutiman? It's all edits. And it's all sampling.
-
But, on one hand, you say I can't define what the "golden era" is and then you offer your own take on how it is; ie crossover between golden era and boom bap" By mentioning the existence of this era, you're agreeing that it does in fact have a defin…
-
Agreed and well put.
-
Sure. I didn't call it MY golden era. But to be fair, that's not a term I coined. People know what era that stands for. My words that followed explained that u wasn't saying that it is definititively.
-
Not sure I follow. Isn't it the same as saying that I prefer soul/funk from 68-74? That could, in that case, be called a "golden era" if that's what you gravitate towards. In any case. I meant well. Now I'm done before I get kicked off Soulstrut. Wh…

Again. No re-writing. No discounting anything. Just raising an opinion. And now, responding to an oddly interpreted and relatively hostile response. Definitely not what I had in mind. Believe me.

"So when you say hip-hop that you grew up with, let me guess the chronology. When you weren't bombing trains, you used to carry Kool Herc's crates to his gigs in the South Bronx. But then when rap records started coming out ala Kurtis …

Now officially stepping back to grade 5. Jesus. Why?
-
Didn't know there was a strict set of rules in terms of how to initiate discourse. I consider, simply put, means I know my opinion is subjective. Without it, I'd be making a statement of fact. And I'm not.
-
Not sure what the argument is here. Was meant to be a discussion. I could understand if I were preaching, but I'm not. I even called myself narrow minded and jaded.
-
No. A story best read in detail so to not be misinterpreted. AGAIN. I'm not discounting the way things evolved or changed. Or am I proclaiming that I was in the Bronx when it all went down. These are things that you gathered from my post, and I'm no…
-
OK. So it's still relatively sought after, just not as much I guess. Ok, thanks for the info. I guess I can live with that.
-
Just a question. Not a statement of fact.
-
Not sure what that proves. Other than the drum pattern they're mimicking is based on funk patterns.
-
Sampling, as a method, can take many forms. Pause tapes are a form of sampling. As is going back and forth to a break. And I'm not altering history in terms of what I said at all. I just mentioned that I grew up in what "I consider" the Golden Era …
-
Again, just my opinion. Such a subjective thing really has no right or wrong answer I guess.
-
Never said anything about Mantronix. And hip hop did start with samples as the based of production. Rhyming over disco breaks etc. The sampler I guess was two turntables and later, pause tapes. The more 808 focused stuff, to me, was an off …
-
This one's on Alson. I've seen it listed as both a reissue and an OG on multiple sights. The seller seems legit, but again, you never know on Ebay. Maybe I'll have to swing by Cosmos and have Aki take a look. Can't seem to find a solid answer on the…
-
Not sure. I'd give an amount but we all know what happens when a shit load of heat presents itself. Rough guess? $200- $300. If I can control myself. And usually, I can't. As far as Detroit is concerned, I've heard how sketchy it can be. And…

Yeah, you have a point. My best and only scores this summer were made in places where the owners simply didn't know their shit. Sound Foundation for $5. Axelrod Marchin' for $10. Nothing way out of the ordinary though. I guess when you shop in Toron…
