Random Thoughts/New Music: LISTENNNN!!!

Ha... that pic always kills me. Obviously theres a reason why i put it up. I'm here at work, web browsing, and i jumped on to one of my fave blog site's The Smoking Section. Its definitely a site with good taste and up to date news so, make sure y'all check it. So there i am scrolling the posts, and whadayaknow? They posted mine and Ayah's "Might Not Be" joint, in light of her new album "4:15" (pick that sh*t up, by the way!!). Nuff respect to the TSS crew, the review was on point. By now, im going through the comments, both love & hate... which i never mind. Feedback is feedback. I was cool until i came across this post...

Ayah is not a bad singer, but the production on “Might not be” sucks IMO - someone should definitely hook her up with another producer.. Regarding that, and sorry to rant, but what’s up with the “hey-why-don’t-I-delay-the-kick-and-snare-100ms-and-then-it’s-gonna-sound-real-dope” approach? Even the hihat is delayed FFS.. Because the ear will automatically adjust its perception of the timing according to the vocals (and the rest), it just sounds like the drummer is high on crack or something… Whether or not you like the kick + snare’s actual 6/8 time signature underneath it all, is a matter of taste I guess. But why the f*** does it need to be delayed as well - that ruins it for me..

FACK off loser. Miss me with all that technical bullsh*t. I'm glad you noticed my off-kilter drum patterns because i do it purposely, so herbs like you can call me out on it. Unlike the majority of upcoming producers, i DON'T program drums. The reason why is because i don't like my sh*t sounding all robot like (unless it's neccessary). From Sly, James, Marvin, Curtis..to Dilla, Pete Rock, Premier, RZA, Questlove.... they ALL have used this technique. And like my homie Dyce always says, "It's makes music more...human." To each's own tho, but i think homie posted this to gain cool points. So f*ck that. Go back to your cookie cutter music and keep reading the manual. I don't follow rules.... and never will.
