I humbly disagree with dacal...what does having a signature sound have to do with a concept? If you're the type of producer that has a signature sound "good for you". That's not a determining factor for being considered a dope producer though...not in my book anyway. That's just a way of putting a producer in a box that if they step out of, gets them bad mouthed within and outside the industry. That's my take on that..it could be a whole other topic of discussion.
Me and my group "Urban Legendz" are doing a concept album. The albums title is My Hood, My Music, My Life. It will consist of 3 chapters, so to speak, 5 tracks per chapter. My hood of course will be on some str8 street shit,bling bling, dames, drugs, sex & violence etc etc. My Music will probably be 5 tracks on some down south hip hop type shit...with topics dealing strictly with how hip hops is going or how we would like it to go. And My life will be 5 tracks on how we grew up, friends that have died, were murdered, our family & loved ones etc.
I personally don't see how you can start a project without having a blue print of the concept laid out. Sometimes for me the first couple of tracks determine the direction of the album but it's still guided by a concept and that doesn't have anything to do with a signature sound!
CONCEPT-a concept is an abstract idea or a mental symbol, typically associated with a corresponding representation in and language or symbology.
U can't argue with fact....lmbao!
