Dilla is overrated? Dilla's 20's shit was wack? you need to really sit down and hear how Dilla does it.. how he chop the samples, lay down sloppy but on time drums, That NO ONE ELSE CAN DO! im not hating on damu or anything.. But some of the people here don't really have a clue.. and it aint about taste in music.. it's about how things get done. nobody can fux with Dilla!
now i know people aren't right. anyone dissing damu saying he's not a musician is obviously a fucking poser who just wants to spark negativaty and madness on the internet. i know this because how the hell did you end up on a damu video if you don't like hip hop and its ways? it doesn't work like that, i don't think. stop fronting, you love this dude. all of us here do, i guarantee it
@tableturns77 oh my gooooooddddddddd, why are people such assholes all the time. if someone thinks j dilla is the greatest dude to ever touch a sampler, then let them think it. in all honesty, i sure do. and that's because dude brought an entire alternative thought process to it. he brought out a lot of the best product in artists he produced for. and none of this is taking into the fact that his shit, especially towards his death, was pure fucking math. kill the negativity and let people live
@caledooper yea dilla created his own style and i liked when he was jay dee in the 90s but late 2000s his shit got wack followed by flying lotus and knockoffs, shit is mad boring to listen to.
@tableturns77 i bet u never listened really to dilla. he's not overrated, he just got as much fame as good he was wich is fair. damn, this guy did so dope collabs with madlib! check out jaylib! you dumb fuck are just too stupid to get into dilla beats. RIP Dilla
damu the fudgemunk is the last real hiphop producer, makes hiphop beats like theyr suppose to sound golden era. fuck the j dillas and 9th wonders they cant come correct like damu
@tableturns77 your low as dog shit after that comment. punk. Damu can never come near Jay Dee. Back in the early 90's there were hundreds of producers like this cat. Jay Dee was lightyears ahead of this dude. Musically, nobody could touch him. you cunt.
ok so i'm going to get an mpc soon. 2000, or 2kxl? i really like the way damu does the track mutes by hitting the pads and i know there's a button for it on the 2kxl, but can you do it the exact same say on the 2kxl or is that only for the 2000?
Killin the fatback sample! Anyone else hear the intro to mr oizo flat beat in there? It's not looping but you hear it once and a while with a high hat.
As much as I admire your enthusiasm I really couldn't bring myself to be messing about with a sampler that needs floppy disks. To me that it hell on earth, I really do not posess the patience required to sit there waiting for loading and editing on a small screen and then making multiple backups. I could never return to that. I'll live with 16bit any day of the week.
This beat is superb but I just went on iTunes to buy it and it's only 1:50 and it costs a dollar. Don't get me wrong, I love his music but atleast gimme 3-4 minutes.
@Pittermilk i agree i have a lot of repect for sample based producers, and love listening to thier art, i've played keys, guitar, and bass for many years, and i still try to make sampled beats, but just don't have the patience to spend hours searchin /choppin up records when i can just play it on a keyboard, guitar in minutes, thats why i got respect for ppl who do, because the outcome can be special if you got patience.
yal'l, traditional acoustic instrumentalists are never going to accept the mpc as a musical instrument like a guitar or something, but who cares? hip hop was founded on the deejay extending breakbeats on two turntables and cutting/inserting instrament stabs in it too,
an mpc allows you to do what the deejays were doing but is like adding 50 more deejays in it at the same time each with more records to sample/ put in the mix.
I'm a deejay, who produces beats with an mpc just as if deejayin
What "real" instrument allows you to use any type of sound or sample and arrange it as your creativity sees fit? The creativity and craft that Damu is displaying to mix and match samples is an art. It's a shame that such art isn't appreciated by those who think you need to play a traditional instrument to be considered not only talented, but a composer.
well coming from someone who plays a "real" instrument (guitar) and composes beats on an MPC, a sampler is an instrument. its an instrument designed to manipulate and playback found sounds. And acoustic instrument it is not but and instrument for creative artistic expression it is.. just like any other device designed to create sound. period.
@Lukewestnedge man who cares what people think, an mpc is like having 16 mp3 players X 4 banks all in one box.... with rubber buttons... that sounds like an instrument to me. Man you can sample your own instument playing with an mpc so... not to mention damu helped shape the biggest music industry genre to exist..
@Lukewestnedge agreed, any true musician should be astounded by an instrument like this. I play piano, violin, guitar and accordion and right now I can tell you that all I want is one of these.
@Lukewestnedge To be honest, it's even worse than that. It's possible to sample using for example just a traditional guitar. Use parts of guitar licks you like and combine them with fitting other already made guitar licks and voila, you're 'sampling' using a traditional instrument.
Heck, it's the most popular way popular songs are being adapted to create something new, but similar as is often the case with pop music.You're obviously right in how pathetic it is but it can be done with trad.instr
if your into music its not about whether you sample or not its about whether it sounds good that dream beat is working. i make beats from scratch and i sample my own stuff and other peoples stuff. if its hot its hot if its not its wack period. kanye and many others do exactly that they recreate phrases of soul records down to the finest detail and then sample it because they want the sampled sound with out the mechanical fees charged by the owner of the record.
lol ....take a chopped up sample and try to play it with an acoustic instrument and see how it sounds. no skill will help you achieve that sound that the sample makes same again....try to come up with the sample on the record with out the acoustic instruments or electronic instruments used in the sample wont happen. isnt it obvious that samples come from "real instruments " and that distinctive hip hop sound we all love comes from manipulating samples recorded from records or your own music
how fuck you figre he ain't doin it from scratch? Cause he ain't puonding on some wackass keyboard coming up with wackass melodies? This man Damu is a real producer....records, turntable and a drum machine...
im not against sampling so i wont actually diss it.
but ur not going to sit here and act like they are the same type of producer. boonie makes his beats from instruments, damu makes his from re arranged or "chopped samples". i havent seen damu play piano. he is the better sample-based producer arguably, but he doesnt compose.
He doesnt compose? lol Compose means 'to create' which he does. His samples dont just automatically fit with each other, he has to chop, stretch and pitch the samples for them to work together. And for your further information, a sampler/ drum machine is actually an instrument. You need to get hold of a dictionary or something.
excuse me, he doesnt compose with instruments. the sampler is a drum machine, not an instrument. he chops old records up and makes new songs from them, along with drums and baselines.
The mpc is an instrument of creation. If he chops one note and pitches it across the pads (which he does aswell as looping) and plays them back in his own sequence then its just as good as playing keys on a keyboard. Also, musicians which you are talking about who play "real" instruments subconsciously sample ideas from other artists. "no idea is original" you never heard that saying? So choppin records is just a physical form of borrowing an idea. Its all composition.
a fantom keyboard for instance isnt a piano. it has 88 piano note samples in it so u can emulate an actual piano. taking an arethra franklin record and chopping it into 16 even chops and playing it in a different order and adding some drums is just that
we all know what takes more skill
however i agree the goal in music is to make new compositions. the chords i use is my beats have been use before.
and what, plucking guitar strings to create a melody IS "something new?" whether a composer knows it or not, im sure someone at some point has played the same notes they're playing before, or used the same chord progression they are. a line from del, "music is there without you or me, we just manipulate for better or worse." so to me, sampling is no different than any other "form" of music. all artists inspire each other, they use each others ideas, painters and musicians alike...
no one will ever be completely, 100% original, if that's what you're going for. but i dont even think thats what being original means, to me its using whatever you have, taking your influences, and flipping it in your own unique way. what the fuck does it matter what you use to make music? people like yourself are missing the point of music entirely, and being extremely snobby by degrading other music simply because of the way it is made. music is music...
...and the only thing that matters in music--THE ONLY THING--is how it sounds. fuck the rest, the bickering, the comparing, the critiquing; if it sounds good, its good music. i dont care what anyone used to make it. certain people in africa slap water to make music, are you going to criticize them for not making music on a recognized, western instrument?
haha, thats fair. but i was responding to this comment, and it sounded like a diss to damu and to sampling to me.
"excuse me, he doesnt compose with instruments. the sampler is a drum machine, not an instrument. he chops old records up and makes new songs from them, along with drums and baselines.
damu typically prefers to work with samples but he also plays bass, drums, vibes and keyboards. some of those joints will be released throughout 2010. we'll post something soon with some snippets of upcoming stuff, including some with live instruments.
@YesWeFresh I somehow and agree and disagree, my friend. I totally get the idea and I would let this guy wear anything he wants since he is a genius. However I personally won't ever wear something like that and I sincerely don't find the bow tie to be even close to being cool.
Man so funky fresh....Any one talking shit about this video an ignorant fu#K and they should learn there Hip-Hop history or take up another life style!
And BTW, for dude talking about 9th being gay cause he uses FL....well, I guess I can say compare hit but dah well.. and he still uses FL and he uses the MPC2500.
ps...fruity loops is fucking gay and so is 9th wonder and jay z..im talkin about some real hip hop..this is a damu vid right..hahaha yall cats all got talkin and aint got shit to say between ten of yall.
cause i know the realness and depth of the shit..you probably dont homie..the mpc1000 is a toy. thats why theres no thought process that goes into the 1000. the 2000 requiers a thought process. since you asked. the quality of his music to this is like 0-10. if you cant hear it, then you should go comment about some black panthers videos or something if you want to get all racial. aint no room for that kind of shit in real hip hop. you want argue about skills cool, no racial shit..that outa the ?
nah man your outlook is whack. the mpc is just a tool. ill skill manifests itself no matter what its happenin on. didnt dilla do donuts on shitty old computer speakers?
Besides, a piano doesn't require more thought process than an mpc1000, but does that make ahmad jamal whack?
who said hip hop is dead, is a fucking victim of the mainstream

@crayyawn
ok to start off i didnt diss sampling.
i stated that damu is the better sampler and that boonie was the better composer.
so shut the fuck up with the corny ass speech

haha, thats fair. but i was responding to this comment, and it sounded like a diss to damu and to sampling to me.
"excuse me, he doesnt compose with instruments. the sampler is a drum machine, not an instrument. he chops old records up and makes new songs from them, along with drums and baselines.
thats not anything new "

damu typically prefers to work with samples but he also plays bass, drums, vibes and keyboards. some of those joints will be released throughout 2010. we'll post something soon with some snippets of upcoming stuff, including some with live instruments.

@kustomkure Damn man,that Bow tie is fly as fuck, requires a lot of style to be able to rock it like that.

@YesWeFresh I somehow and agree and disagree, my friend. I totally get the idea and I would let this guy wear anything he wants since he is a genius. However I personally won't ever wear something like that and I sincerely don't find the bow tie to be even close to being cool.

You clownin dude, Boon Doc is dope... although I Damu is obviously better with the MPC.
9th wonder used Fruity loops, probably still does... I'm sure Primo used the 1000 back in the 90s and he made classics for Nas, Jay Z, Gangstarr etc.
so stop hatin... it's not about the instrument, it's about how you use it

thats bullshit..fuck you and your outlook who are you? really? you make music? you make beats? kick rocks.
loopwholetube 2 years ago
cause i know the realness and depth of the shit..you probably dont homie..the mpc1000 is a toy. thats why theres no thought process that goes into the 1000. the 2000 requiers a thought process. since you asked. the quality of his music to this is like 0-10. if you cant hear it, then you should go comment about some black panthers videos or something if you want to get all racial. aint no room for that kind of shit in real hip hop. you want argue about skills cool, no racial shit..that outa the ?
loopwholetube 2 years ago
nah man your outlook is whack. the mpc is just a tool. ill skill manifests itself no matter what its happenin on. didnt dilla do donuts on shitty old computer speakers?
Besides, a piano doesn't require more thought process than an mpc1000, but does that make ahmad jamal whack?
