i didnt think running was very good at all..... i think em is your average, run of the mill "producer" who DOESNT MAKE THE BEATS. yes, i knwo, "a producer is the person who oversees the project" BLAH BLAH BLAH. well guess what? he doesnt say he oversees the project; he acts like he makes them. and in interviews, he's like , "yeah, i am learning how to program drums" "i just hum th melody into a tape recorder and have the live guys play it", and even then the melodies are like "doo-do, snare, doo-do doo-do DOO-do, snare". man his melodies are SIMPLE, not like, raw simple, but LITTLE KID simple. and everyones like "oh, his tracks are so DRAMATIC man, their just dramatic and you feel it" but all it is is some frickin strings! you add slow strings in certain chords to a beat, and guess what? its dramatic!
yes, yeah, I AM HATING HERE FOLKS. this guy is a sham of a "producer" and an insult to all of us who dig, who aught ourselves to play these keys, who stay up till 3 am when we got to be up at 7 for work TO GET A DAMN BASSLINE RIGHT, who ignore our bills for as long as possible to save for that motif rack, who bought their mpc before the bought their car, who labor long and hard to win a beat this comp.....
not that he is the worstever, or that he is HORRIBLE, but he is average, and its a disgrace that jay would be so his nutts that he wants to let him "produce" a track on his "farewell" album (yeah, like thats gonna happen) and PREMIER- DJ FRIGGIN PREMIER- CANT GET A TRACK? ARE KIDDING ME?
i am not one to bring race into play, yall who know me know that- but this IS BECAUSE OF HIS WHITENESS, and Jay might as well be walkin around callin him "Massa Em" cause thats whats happening.
you dont think that most of us with his resources wouldnt be gettin calls? hell, mod 1, kids 14, and if you put him in jermaine dupris camp hed get calls day and night, working on fruity BECAUSE HE'S DOPE for south tracks (not a south fan, but damn kid you should already be gettin play, dead serious) and he is better than em!
uh, lets see.... hoppas better than em, guevara is better than em, metrosoul is better than em, hood is better than em, excel is better then em (where the hell has he been?) TheMucka is better than em, i mean come on this is rediculous. if he just did d12 and himself i wouldnt have an issue, but COME ON, people on HIS SACK like its coke or somethin...
alright i'm through complainin......
