Interesting.

I'm very new to hip hop, but very want to learn how to mix. I like "contradictions of liberation" best so far. . .

Good going.

I also like broken dreams quite a lot. . . it's similar to a lot of other things I've heard, but the vocals are so much more passionate. . . it's impressive.

How long have you been doing this? And what do you use to mix with?

Im impressed Will have a proper listen later tonight.

I was about to recommend JMT beats, but your using them already. You can d/l the new Sage Francis record as instrumentals, some of that would suit your style well also.

Jainaday, psych...thanks a lot for listening and commenting!...i really appreciate it ive been rapping since 2003 and i use cool edit pro 2 to mix and edit the vocals...i can send you that program if you want...and thanks for recommendation psych...ill download the Sage Francis record now...and yeah, ima big fan of jmt...stoupe is a genius isnt he?

Dude, that's cool. You've got a new listener. :)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's all I gotta say , listening to Heavy Metal 2 right now - mad heavy


I could definitely put some beats together, you guys really sound like you've got it on and connected though. What I think I'd probably do is throw something down, deparate it into different audio tracks with the effects minimized, and let you all have the final work with it just so you can get the ambiance on the right tilt. I've got all day to myself though right now, nothing pressing aside from laundry, so I'll see what I can cook up.

Daniel, techstep...thanks a lot!! !...im really glad you two like it...and tech, id love to hear some of your beats...cant wait

let me ask you though, what kinds of beats are you looking for when you say that? There's a pretty big difference between the stuff you had your features set on here for vs. liberation and the other stuff. Those kinds of beats with the grimey piano, accoustic bass, that's something I still haven't really learned how to do well as far as making it sound right or the melodies. I'd still be down but this could take a minute. Still, I love a challenge, anything that I haven't tried before I figure could only sharpen my skills.

Reason 3.0, I'm kinda still locked into that just because I still haven't found the cash to get good studio monitors or do the kind of tweeking I could with Absynth or the MBOX (have both but still really don't have a good means of routing it all).

When I think of the sad sound though, at least as your describing it, I kinda think of more of an epic 'give you chills' sort of energy; at least that's what I tend to get from it. Hip hop, especially the oldskool style beats you guys work with though, has a real specific lean to it though and I'm trying to at least get my head around the nuiances that keeps it within the framework.

Ok, this is a 2:13 minute (65 bar) sample of something I started working on. If I have my head way up my ass on this one I'll be glad to send you the base sounds so you guys can remix it and have it sounding more on par with what works. Anyway:

Stoupe produced an album for canibus 'rip the jacker', where he was given the bare vocals tracks and asked to do the entire production over the top, completely alone (bis was busy killing babies in Iraq at the time so couldnt hear anything till it was finished (not suggesting the lack of communication was a necessary factor tho iyswim)) - Its probably very difficult and time-consuming to pull off, (i know nothing about production /rapping) but imo it turned out to be one of the strongest canibus records, so the back-to-front approach certainly didnt hurt. Just a thought

wow!...that beat is nice!...i really like the feel of it...some trippy s**t ...thanks a lot...you really have skills with making beats...do you have any other beats online?...we gotta do a mixtape or somthing ...and did yall hear that track with canibus and vinner paz the fusion centre?...whhoooo

Yeah, I think the only things that track needs right now are first to shore up some of the timing of the bass line a little and I was just playing it real quick for my roommate, listening to it again I think it could use some jazz style trumpet falls in the right parts.

(edit: and if you wanted to hear some of my other work just go to http://www.mp3.com/5pryme, not hip hop though - its jungle, but you still get an idea for my tastes in ambiance )
