Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed that. Young Guru living up to his name right there. He's from my neck of the woods too. I'm proud of dude. Thanks for sharing this.

digiman · 3rd July 2007, 07:25 AM

Now THAT's the real truth about hip hop. Preach my brother!

ninjaneer · 3rd July 2007, 09:53 AM

real talk indeed... thanks for the link

3rd July 2007, 04:30 PM

Man, I fully agree with dude. (Well except for his top 5. I think Big and Pac would have to split the same seat but even that I was close to agreement with from KRS, Rakim being on top and Kool G being on the list.)

Damn I just had this conversation with some dudes in NY this week.

Stitch333 · 3rd July 2007, 04:55 PM

"rock what you got"

thats what it is...

B.A. · 3rd July 2007, 10:01 PM

Damn, dude took the words right out of my mouth. His top 5 are his own preference and everyone's got their own taste but all the rappers he mentioned are dope. His view on everything he mentioned was right on point.

Get atleast 1 or 2 quality pieces and learn the s

ttttttttttttt out of them! Master the in's and out's. I started out that way then got side tracked with all the new sound modules vsti's etc etc. and forgot how to make the vibe in the trak. Then I got back to basics and I love doing music again and my vibes come back! So with that said, Young Guru makes some really really really viable points. That is a man that knows what he is talking about, you can just tell he is a fan and craftsman.

What I was thinking about doing is buing equipment then learning how to work them, instead of doing research first

What do you mean? You have to research atleast what it is you are looking for right?

rickrock305 · 4th July 2007, 01:27 AM

100% real talk right here, young guru putting it down!

Instead of buying equipment because of what I seen and heard can be done with it..I rather look into it myself and see everything it can do, and how it would benifit me

Like the mpc I was going to urchase it for sampling and drum programming..but I can also make sequences with it

But after researching the MV880, I can do the same thing that the MPC can, plus seprate each sound in a drum sample, you can do a little mastering, record, and make a beat in it and burn it to cd, and it comes with the orignal 808's

Don't believe everything you read.

Especially about 808's. Roland has several versions of the 808 that are NOT the original 8's

Versatile255 · 4th July 2007, 04:10 AM

was really feelin dis man very inspirational and he right in alot of what he said. i remember asking that question about engineer school back when i first came here he basically said what it is work hard this mad inspirational.

coyotekells · 4th July 2007, 04:31 AM

it's not cause it's a keyboard beat, it's cause YOU CAN'T PLAY THE KEYBOARD!

that's REAL TALK!!!

Have you ever heard an 808? I mean straight from the machine. You ever used one?

Tony"CD"Kelly · 4th July 2007, 06:09 AM

I like that Yo, straight talk, no BS, direct heartfelt answers... All those peeps that got put on by someone but refuse to help someone else need to view that interview....And if you can't play the keys, learn how to or hire someone who can and let them interpret your ideas (if you got any) bless

i prefer the advice he gave. Get lots and lots of vinyl and start sampling.

Tony"CD"Kelly · 4th July 2007, 06:28 AM

I'm not knocking his advice, just adding.....I have lots of Hits & no sampling. I like when people sample me so I can get paid again & again & again. Learn from the old folks. Bless

rickrock305 · 4th July 2007, 06:35 AM

Bless up Bro. I love the Forum..... I've been in the BIZ from 1986 and i'm still learning from other producers & engineers (KD, Duro, Brian Stanley to name a few) and lately this forum bro. bless up again

PettyCash · 4th July 2007, 10:06 AM

Earlier tonight I was experiencing some mad producing writers block during an important studio session,which really had me pissed.
Watching this interview just hyped me right back up.

The keyboard part gotta be the joke of the month up on here.
