come one man. you're putting him down, downplaying his music, and for what. Stylistically its authentic as it needs to be and in sentiment its real too so whats to be cynical about? Because he's (possibly )middle class / art school, and wears loud clothes ? And on the same lines, Joker is more...

This is true. No surprise that music is increcingly unappreciated, when sonically it has depreaciated so badly. The mp3 medium, the delivery of ipod speakers, and the loudness wars in mastering have resulted in a trashy listening experience. It sounds disposable. The exponential growth in...

everything you do on google is tracked and compiled so that they can build a comprehensive profile their users. The aim, as stated by google top boy (i forget his name), is that in few years time you'll be able to ask google what religion best suits you, and it will give you a personalised...

The Apogee mini-DAC is sick, but its something like 800 quid.

i was switching between the beta version of 2 and the more stable version 1 it for about a year. Aesthetically it's gorgeous, the full-page view is amazing for reading text based web pages.but quitre a few web pages didnt load well, and i had the feeling that the development was drying up, the...

lol!

thats sad. but u know, successful acts often rose out of the ashes of tragic events. mf doom, new order.. uh.. foo fighters.. ok not the best examples but still. cool that prince markie is doing his thing tho.

okay so at least the beasties continued to evolve, develop new directions (like it or not) and build an empire of sorts (label, mag etc). Wheras the fat boys just gave up. Or at least, became passe.

I have a lot of love for their early, minimal drum machine stuff.. hello brooklyn, high plains drifter, 3-minute rule, 59 chrystie street, mike on the mic, awol, posse in effect, paul revere (SICKest beat). time to get ill.. And from the above, the paul's boutique tracks often had a great...

That's deep about angel-lady. Has any one else seen that dread in Brixton who rides around on his own horse?

I haven't tried all the names mentioned here, but of the ones I have used, my favorite is Transition. One of the main attractions of Transition is the engineers there will happily advise you on your mixdown.. what areas of the mix need improving, suggestions on what to try in the future, etc...

lol, shaadup. It was groundbreaking, influential (for better or for worse) and I genuinely love it. I didn't notice that "To Whom it may concern" made Dart's list, but still I feel "Griots" is the greater album. Donuts rekindled my love for music, as it did for thousands and thousands of...

Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Marauders" -- i didn't see this on any one's list??! Freestyle Fellowship "Innercity Griots" -- i didn't see this on any one's list??! Dilla "Donuts" -- i didn't see this on any one's list??! on a personal... Abstract Tribe Unique "South Central Thynk Taynk"...

The best mastering engineer in the world cannot save a shitty mix. "You can't polish a turd" :slanted: If the UK majors were to sign another grime artist (thats a big if), they should send the album to whoever mixes Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Dipset etc. If that happened, people might even...

as Dizzee's? It's not just the production. It's more the mixdowns. Dizzee's first album was raw, but it was pretty clean sonically. The beats thumped, the snares, the kicks all cracked hard, his voice was crisp. Almost all other grime records are marred by muddy or cheap sound. It's not a geek...

lol dude even stated, clearly, that he has all these albums. Waste. Sorry, I got over excited cos I been listening to these albums every day for last two weeks. *But*, there was an unstated point to my post.... more than any other albums, these are the two that showcase Rza's genius, superbly...

Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Links GZA - Liquid Swords (the Instrumentals) RZA = genius btw, Ghostface = best mc of all time. YES HE IS.

I'm losing patience with white, uni-educated people who oppose anything white and studenty. It's a bizarre form of self-denial. Rock and metal get a constant bashing from these types, like as if it's morally reprehensible to identify with anything other than black-orientated music. It's also...
