For hip hop (or anything else) you CAN'T go wrong with Brain "Big Bass" Gardner.

Do a search on artist direct.com and look up his name. He had done plenty of Hip hop. Dre gave him the name "Big Bass". Hope this helps.

Peace

Herb Powers NYC

thanks dudes... is this the same herb powers who is credited on a lot of disco records?

the same... look for his signature and comments between the last track and the label on the old 12" vinyl.
One man's disco is another's R&B

hehe yeah i remember theres some writing on unique "what youve got is what i need"... fat sounding cut!! real loud and fat sound

the only thing i find with even the fattest disco masters,maybe the sound systems were different back then but these days musics got a lot more subs and seems a little more "full spectrum".. but i love early 80s nyc stuff it sounds sick

he is also a member here!

That looks like a geocities website from 10 years ago... done by a 10 year old in their first month of web dev.

I think a 10 year old kid in it's first month of web dev will create a better one heh

no doubt. had a good laugh lookin at that one.
Statikat your avatar.....that the bad guy from that kungfu movie with bruce leroy? el debarge was in that movie. so good! havent seen that in ages. ...."I got the GLOW!!" gotta go find that one.

Well, it's not as if you're hiring him for his web design abilities!

Brian "Big Bass" rocks. I've had albums mastered by him incl. some wide-release hip-hop stuff.

Check out Louie Teran at Marcussen marcussenmastering.com

Believe it or not, he was heavily involved with West Coast hip-hop before he went into mastering. The tracks I brought him turned out superb, although his discography shows more soundtrack & rock work (Snow Patrol, Da Vinci Code, Dave Matthews Band). Highly recommended.

Can't go wrong with either of those guys. And, if you do go to Big Bass, have them make you a cappuccino while you're there. Bernie Grundman's has the best cappuccinos in town.

Right man, noone will give these guys a mastering job, because of their skills in webdesign. And noone will give them a mastering job because of their nice cappuccinos!

heh

Sorry you forced me to say that! BTW: Your track Alone on your myspace account is real nice, to me! Any more informations about that project?
