yah that archie dude’s right, it’s like dilla’s the jesus of beats, not sayin he wasn’t one of the greatest, obviously he deserves respect, i do as much as the next cat, but think of how many J Dilla’s, primo’s, dj shadow’s, and mobb deep’s are out doing their own thing, diggin in the crates, making primium beats that jus never got discovered

no doubt Lo pass is so underrated… i mean to be honest i cant stand the 16 pad chop method… im more of a loop digger and raw drums… so many people ask why dont their drums or bass sound right… i say you arent doing it right! but thats just me… i like the gulley sound… no needs for 500 dollar nikes and crazy space sounds and stuff 12 sec is enough of samp time… but extra is nicer… to many good tracks and flow worthy albums like Havoc’s production and tip and that ASR great stuffs… funny how so many dont even know Havoc is one of the best to do it… good drums and good loops go a long way esp with lo pass!

hahahaha could be im a 26 year old still stuck in the 90’s and doesnt mind catching the train/bus/sub to get around town…

its all about the head nod’s

archie hit it right on the money! DIGGGGGG
props for this post!

There was a very interesting “10 tracks that changed my life” piece by Carl Craig in the now defunct British music mag ‘Jockey Slut’ where he cited a De La Soul album for influencing the way he thought about bass. Wish I’d kept that. Not online as far as I know.

The problem with these so-called “heads” is that motherfuckers dont dig!,It’s easier for these motherfuckers to like what evryone likes and then think that wateva else is not worth the effort!.production done on ‘hell on earth’ is one of the sickest in hip hop,but you’ll never hear “heads” giving props to that album or it’s producers.All u hear is J Dilla this and J Dilla that,i can tell u now that i have whole list of J Dilla beats that sound similar to Mobb Deep beats,not saying the guy’s cloning,but m jus pointing out how influential Mobb Deep beats r to most of these suckers’ favourite beat makers. (Mobb Deep’s “Clap” and J Dilla’s “The Clapper” is jus one example here).

Yeah… Hell on earth was an insane album. Their production just completely elevated and had me blown away.

I agree about the ‘hell on earth’ shit. that album is AS good as ‘infamous’ as far as beats are concerned, that record was extra gritty.
