National Identity in Hip Hop
LOL, I was kind of joking....but prog[ressive] rock dervives from rock music which is derived from rock and roll which is an African American type of music and so on....lol. Basically a lot of music isn't really native to the country, it gets imported and evolves as immigrants move in and out...- Lex

National Identity in Hip Hop
Right on. Don't limit yourself to sampling certain genres or eras of music. Well, pretty much all modern forms of music [from rock to hip hop] stem from older forms of African American music [blues etc] which were themselves are derivatives [along with some 'Western' influences] of African...- Lex

Sinister Music...
Lots of Minor chords if your composing. Use gritty strings, sample chamber music, computer games, and of course horror films. In my opinion, the whole sinister thing should be done with a genrally gritty feel [for which lo-fi samples off computer games/tv works nicely a well as nice bit of... -
National Identity in Hip Hop
Great topic man. I've actually sampled British and European sources before [stuff off tv, lol as well as soundtracks etc]. I try to listen to lots of music from around the world too, just because there is so much variety. From afro-latin jazz to traditional bunjabi music. People shoudl...- Lex

WHat is Common's Religion?????
...hmm, well as far as I can tell the 5 Perecnt Nation should have nothing to do with Islam since one of its most fundamental principles [that God is NOT one supreme being] is what is known as 'shirk' [putting another object or being on the same level as God or saying that he is not the one and...- Lex

WHat is Common's Religion?????
http://comp.uark.edu/~tsweden/5per.html I knew a lot of rappers are part of the 5 Percent Nation, but I didn't realise quite how afro-centric the religion is. Anyway since when did someone's religion affect wether or not you should like them...Musically or otherwise - That's just ridiculous...- Lex

What beat inspired you to become a producer/beatmaker?
That beat is sick. I could listen to the instrumental on repeat for like an hour. Stuope [of Jedi Mind Tricks] has some beats which sound kind of similar. I generally like that style of production...but as I have mentioned before in this topic, no single beat got me into production. -
How did you like high school? Would you become a teacher?
I'm still in school - I don't enjoy it really, but I know its important for my future so I tr to keep at it. I've got a long way to go too, I got 2 more years in my current school then I hope to go to uni. I hope its all worth it. Anyway - it would be nice to have some teachers at my school...- Lex

The Alternative Cracks
^^LOL, its bound to happen though. I'm sure everyone knows about it, but for those who don't www.kvraudio.com have a collection VSTs and other audio utilities for all for free, which seem pretty decent to me [Although I almost never use them to be honest] -
Stereo Htas-Request
Well for single hits it is extremely unlikely people know what reord you got them from anyway [even more so if you use hits from several different records], let alone being confronted with it by some record label. Then if you consider the way in which single hits are layered and filterd - they... -
