You guys think too much, he probably baked this up it 10 minutes and wouldn't have a clue what you're all talking about. ?? and? jazz drummers take approx .01 seconds thinking about swinging when they sit down at a set but there's still a lot you ca…

I'm just wondering how it breaks down rhythmically. Swizz does this a lot in his recent tracks, giving it this loose swung feel that i think sounds pretty specific to swizz but maybe i'm imagining things
-
are you talking about the snare fill at the end of the bar before the beat drops and he starts rapping? yeah, but that repeats throughout the song.
-
Are you talking about the snares? I dunno man. Sounds like pretty standard snare programming--not particularly swingy at all. Doesn't really change the rhytmic feel to me. Compare the snares at the buildup to the snares on yr average Mannie Fresh tr…

one of the best rap singles out right now It starts out with the beat sounding more square/standard and then these snares come in just off beat right before he starts rapping, and it totally changes the rhythmic feel of the track. Thats what I'm tr…

i donno it seems like lots of modern rap production uses even 8ths

there absolutely is. Someone living within a culture that, for example, perpetrates female circumsision might have a less 'valuable' opinion about that ritual than someone who lives outside that culture. Horrible example. Why? People make judgement …

to be fair who counts Premier as a Texan really? nonetheless I'm quite sure both Saadiq and Dre are extremely popular in Texas. But as an 'outsider' I don't know for sure! Why don't you tell us harvey

harvey my point is just that your whole deal seems to be 'getting it right' but when it comes down to music whole portions of the discussion are going to be subjective and you seem more interested in 'getting it right' than having any kind of insigh…

i donno it seems to me that the democratization of this sort of thing isn't really a problem for journalism as a whole; sure there's more shit writing accessible to everyone, but frankly there's plenty of shitty writing on rap music in major rap mag…

HarveyCanal's problem is that he is unwilling to interrogate his own biases and that clearly affects his own posts. He is under the delusion that there is a CORRECT LOCAL PERSPECTIVE and an INCORRECT OUTSIDER PERSPECTIVE and not the truth, which is …

Carpetbaggeurry isn't cultural outsiders publicly liking regional artists. That's something we should all want. Carpetbaggeurry is an outsider applying an outsider perspective to a regional scene as if that scene is actually defined by that outsid…

Devin the Dude >>>>>>> The Clipse Also bloggers have been all over Devin for a long time. He has a hipster appeal, which is fine. He's also awesome. And so far most of the people talking about his music sound like they actually…

the point everyone's making is just because you and your friends started paying attention doesn't mean that is indicative of some wider trend.

harvey you make being right seem so corny

Carpetbagging is thinking that no one gave a shit about Wayne until Johnny-Come-Lately NYC journalists started paying attention to Wayne. OH OK I get it. So you are assuming that some journalist or some asshole with an opinion turned me on to him…

I don't know what carpetbagging means, can I get an actual definition?

his first solo album wasn't even his first album that mattered i should prob listen to the first hot boys album again sometime

The Carter II > everything before it nonsense never mind that its not a sophomore album (lights out > the block is hot, though)

and the fatt that Will.I.Am showed how much of a hack he is... again. one of the best tracks on the album

more than 3 or 4 i like it because, musically, it is a solid tribute to dr. dre. Its like if a bunch of different beatmakers decided to make chronic 2001 part II or something. I am less enthused about his lyrics being a stalkering of dr. dre but it…

He's mad because they don't "choose sides" he isn't mad cuz they don't 'choose sides,' he's mad because they don't take the situation seriously. There is no subtlety, nuance to their criticisms - like he says, they criticize people simply for havin…
