@clemmrdO He made an album in august 2011, just instrumental stuff. And in the last week of januari 2012 a compilation album came out with stuff from 86-88 I believe.
With all do respect; his editing was much like The Latin Rascals, and his sound was waay too polished for Hip Hop. This sound would become popular after Hip Hop exploded and R&B would finally embrace Hip Hop. In 86-87 this clean sound was out. Rough, rugged, and raw was in. The 808 kick drum be relegated to the background to make way for old James Brown kick drums and funky snares. Hip Hop embraced technology to recreate old funk. The "old" sound was in led by Marley Marl, Bomb Squad, Ultra...
and others. I think his style led the way more for dance music in the 90's. I think T La Rock was ahead of his time with It's Yours though. With all that being said; I loved this song, Breaking Bells, Back To Burn, He's Incredible, and This Beat Kicks. Well that is my take on it.
Yessir, Mantronik was SOOOO ahead of his time!! And in a lot of cases, he STILL is!! I feel like this dude was like the pioneer of beat making, like in the way of Dilla or Pete Rock or Premo, or Diamond D, you know, where beat making started to really matter as much as the rapper. He was before all of them beat kings and he too totally deserves his credit! It was Mantronik that open my eyes to beat making!
MANTRONIX ANOTHER WAY TO SPELL GOD!!!! I USED TO HAVE THIS ALBUM ON VINYL "THE RAP PACK" IF I EVER FIND OUT WHO STOLE IT I WILL BREAK A SOLDIER BOY RECORD TO PEICES THEN STAB THEM TO DEATH WITH THE VINYL SHARDS THAT'S HOW CRUCIAL THE RECORD IS TO ME I STILL TURN TEAR UP COLLEG PARTIES WITH IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!
word these posts are dope.. peace this Rock and ol skool the ultimate flavor...what's up with people these days...how are these jams n' styles not banging everywhere...people R' crazy...
t la has personally hit my up on here and told me about the movie so we are good on that i cant wait to see the movie and i hope it is better than that bulshit jam master j documentary that was thrown together says uzipolo king of decatur
Mantronik was ahead of his time.Couple that with T-la Rock's big word vocabulary advanced the hip-hop game up another notch in '86. Leaving old-school rappers by the wayside except for maybe Moe Dee and "few" others. Yes, Mannie Fresh and Timbaland to an extent bit Mantronik's s**t; Scientific Stutter edits by Chep Nunez's and ping-pong pitch shifted 808 snares and the BASS! + Greg Nice of Nice-N-Smooth on the beatbox =Classic material.KNOW THE HISTORY/RESPECT THE ARCHITECTS.-PEACE-.
it's not that Mantroniks was ahead of the game, it's just producers are behind the game. Except for a couple of producers, the rest need to step it up. And don't get me started on weak ass MCs.
@PaulyTheGimp Naw playboy, Mantronik was definitely ahead of the curve. That dude was making loop based music before there were any Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Beat Thangs, and what not. Nothing but the 808 and the Linn drum back in the day.
@tlarock Yo T, I've been trying for years to get a hold of a spot you, MC Serch and some girl did for Chuck Chillout where at the end you say "Serch always gets dissed". Anyway Scartch Monoply is probably my favorite track by you. I never heard it played much. I would have loved to hear Red Alert tear that one up. He used to rip Breakdown to shreds.
The name 0f this song is "Bas Macine" This is the B side of a 12 inch I recorded. The A side is called, "Breaking Bells,
There is a skit I recorded on the lyrical King album, Called ?Having Fun". I recorded this skit With Greg Nice. This is where you hear, You killed my beatbox teacher.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm wonder'n if Mantronik got The Human DMX (now jus' plainly known as DMX...yes, the DMX we all know of 'n love...LOL) on the beat-box (or sampled him beat-box'n)???
Naw Man, the human DMX is GREG NICE as in GREG NICE of NICE N SMOOTH.
Greg Nice was a beatboxer for T La Rock before he broke off to become a emcee. The Rapper DMX is a whole different person. DMX is New School - Greg Nice is Old School. Look at some of the LYRICAL KING album jackets by T La Rock, you'll see T La Rock hugging Greg nice and Dj Louie Lou
this is one of my favorite rap songs ever (the long version is much better), T. La Rock is just so ill over this Mantronix beat. I first heard this song on Mr.Magic's show on WBLS back in 1986
It was called "Having Fun" and was track number 4 of a 1987 LP version of "Lyrical King", which also included "It's Yours", "Breakdown", "He's Incredible", "Bassmachine" and "Breaking Bells"
Just-Ice's "Cold Gettin' Dumb" album, Mantronix 1st album featuring their 1st hit "Fresh Is The Word", "Needle To The Groove"...the 2nd album "Music Madness"...
how you gonna ask what the name of the song is when a still picture of the record label is staring you in the face? Are you a complete idiot or just straight blind? If it is a vision problem, my bad, I apologize. T LA ROCK made DEF JAM #1, Numero Uno, HELLLO!!!!!!!!!!! Respect the old school, FOOLS.
