    If you think Eminem is the GOAT MC....

    I @Tarboosh Record never heard an Em album (and albums of so many other artists past and present) in full so I only know the singles that hit MTV and BET in his heyday and I mainly like(d) "Lose Yourself," "The Way I Am," and his "I Just Don't Give A Fuck." Is there any work(s) of his I missed...

    Lil Wayne; 7 weeks to write 2 lines

    Spoken @Fade like someone who needs to lay off the drugs and @Iron Keys I wish everyone was as concerned.

    I @Fade know re: serious that's why I come to the ILL.

    How 2pac really died

    I @Fade and @Iron Keys wish the media would let 'Pac R.I.P. as it's bad enough the late 90s/early 2000s had vocal clones in short-lived rappers like Krazy and Tha Realest.

    When selling beats online, does email marketing still works?

    Selling @Iron Keys beats is the new MLM hence “producers” selling courses re: marketing

    Studio tour with Dr. Dre's engineer

    Back @Fade then I had no clue how music production was done, didn't help that I thought only pros and virtuosos made and could make music hence the inaccessibility feeling(s) I grew up having.

    When selling beats online, does email marketing still works?

    Ask @slimegreenbeats re: email marketing but you'd do well to work w/artists in studio if you are fortunate to do so. Also be highly selective as to who you work with. Peeps are insane and clout chasers these days.

    Studio tour with Dr. Dre's engineer

    I'll @Fade take a controller/DAW route in this era over analog any day and "better" and "easier" is subjective. I feel like engineers, producers, and all others involved in the recording process who sucked back in the day would suck now in the current era. Fuck fighting w/floppies. etc. when I...

    It's one thing to sample, but this is straight ripping

    I @Fade believe in asking for permission re: sampling but litigation is killing music.

    Off Topic This Is Why Most Rappers Today Suck

    Don't @Tarboosh Record be afraid to research, it's not gonna kill you but make your views stronger not that they aren't :) Hip Hop @Fade sucks because no one talks about how there has always been an inherent perception that rap is "easy" and this has been reinforced by way of the "cool pose"...

    Studio tour with Dr. Dre's engineer

    I @Fade wish track sheets were still a thing of many things missing in modern music in the formerly collective i.e. social sense of making music, which sadly I never experienced. There's a track sheet for "Ladies First" in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture...
