really? whats the deal with this?There is still only one track that you can buy from RP (aside from DJ Slugo Godzilla, which RP actually did)
Damn Dave! You basically summed up your and my thoughts what we've tried to explain in damn near 500 posts in 1 paragraph.
But yeah, the DJ Pierre they were talking about was definitely not the old school dj, they were talking about subterranean playhouse's dj pierre. i'm not gonna sit here and say i don't like some of his tracks, because some are pretty damn decent! however, he's definitely not the person to look at in terms of changing the footworking world.
I still just don't understand why in the hell Arpebu/RP Boo hasn't just taken over the world yet?! This man was the rawest act, and continues to be the guy who footworks across the street with a smile on his face.
In other news, Lil B has stunned me by his lack of rapping skills:

both i believe are pretty hilarious rip-offs of rashad tracks.
Yo man, I think by now people know I'm a Rashad addict. And I know you guys love this forum for more footworky stuff, but this is so damn catchy, and it's an old Rashad track that I don't think many people ever really paid attention to.

"I don't know how much of an effect he had on forming other producers sound though."
Pretty much nothing...MAYBE some of the really young guys.
"I'm curious to think of what other producers in Chi think of him."
Lot of guys hate his shit. I won't say the name but here is a quote from a young, important DJ of today:
"I can't believe the assest of the ass gets so much recognition for this shit"
Others have just replied: "he's ass"
Nate definitely has a lot more influence, and serves as much more of an innovator to people outside of footwork culture than within. That's OK though, and he's obviously a big part in people getting into this stuff. He also has some dope tracks, though most of his shit is well, ASS if you ask me. Still peaked my interested when I first heard him on Myspace. There has defintely been too much back and forth with Nate on this thread that probably should just stop. You can like him or hate him, but in regards to the history of footwork culture, he really didn't have much influence. Lots of 18 year old girls had Lil Mama Bad as Hell as their ringtones when it came out though for sure.
Oh, and he is not Ornette Coleman, not buying that one. The jazz comparisons on this thread have really been terrible.
that's the salient point here and you have said it again and again. OTOH i find a level of consistent quality in nate's music while with many others in juke i have to sift through mountains of garbage to find one gem. the ornette comparison was not arbitrary, both men received a lot of harsh words and caused a lot of confusion within their respective communities while carving a singular path and not giving a damn what others thought -- while all the while getting their records released and recognition from critics. both also radically switched directions.most of his shit is well, ASS if you ask me.
i dont give a crap about all this nate stuff.
what i wanna know is who the hell started sayin DJ Roc made the first juke mixtape? Anyone who does the math can tell he started making music long after juke was created.
