I'd like to take this time out to give you all something to think about.

Notice who has what, and consider the quality of their beats. Keep ur thoughts to urself. Are the heads with the most shit the ones makin the hottest beats?

Sometimes the kids with the least amount of equipment make hotter beats than cats wit whole studios crammed into their apartment. Its not the equipment, its the person behind it. heads mix that up allll the time.

continue.

alot of older equipment since I been in the game since 1996. I cant remember the prices on alot of this bcuz its been so long. And still bangin out that heat. Fucka new equipment. Although i'm fiendin for a mpc 1000 or 2500 and a roland v-synth rack. i know an mpc will speed up my work flow, and i want sounds already finished. If i ever master ableton i may not need an mpc. I heard it speeds up your work flow also....
