[Sediqie]

[lhiasczkter]

[BobbyDonnel]

Air

[NinoBrown23]

Danja = Truth

[Normal1S]

Danja is the man. . .came from nothing to everything.

[Scathe8000]

his collabs with timbo are great but he does pretty well producing alone

[Kogerii]

6:05

If someone memorizes your song from one time hearing it the song's too simple and repetitive.

[pirell]

so how much money have you made from producing or crtitiscizing niggah?

[kwalms]

since when did it become a rule that songs are not supposed to be simple?

[Kogerii]

There's no rule. It's a matter of taste. I can only abide the same 6 seconds of music looping for 5 minutes if I'm grinding against a chick. You can't be listening to such music attentively if you enjoy blasting it in your car.

[kwalms]

if you have YOUR OWN TASTE for music that's not repetitive and not simple, there's nothing wrong with that. but that doesn't mean that music itself is TOO simple or TOO repetitive just because someone memorizes it on first hearing.

[Kogerii]

These values are variable as an extremely skilled musician can improv most anything. However, Danjahandz stated standard of a good song makes crude music his goal. The more there is to a song (or anything) the harder it is to remember.

For an example of a good song that's harder to follow the first time you hear it listen to Dance of Eternity by Dream Theatre.

If you want to know where I'm coming from in my rap taste check out my "Fake Hip Hop" playlist. It's a list of rap tracks I like.

[kwalms]

if danja made music only for himself, he'd only make music that he likes. but if he wants to be heard, then he's going to make music that he AND his audience like.

musical improv is one skill. but composing songs that emotionally connect with millions of people is an entirely different skill. obviously danja focuses on both, not just the first.

[kdimouni]

He is the all-round producer.

[doubleRT228]

How much does this guy charge per track without Timbaland.

[gnbeatz]

about $25,000 - 70,000

[doubleRT228]

"Respect this hustle" is the best beat from Danja.

[frankdavid22]

Danja is great"

[Ramzo16]

Lol timbaland thinks hes fucking smart.. he just used to liesten to old shit that ppl wouldnt know and which has no copyright and Make it an UPtempo more now a days beat fucking counterfit..

[rockie0708]

kennylim 123, i couldent agree more! timbo king daNJA IS GOOD ASWELL

[chrissy303]

what is the band he says at 3.00 ?

thanks so much :) :) :) xoxo*

[rockie0708]

ur a dickhead then timbo been makin hits years b4 danja u foool. timbo is king

[CaLiBuD239]

i love danja

[rockie0708]

timbo made danja

[juliusrox00]

I'm pretty sure that its more the other way around... phaha

[kennylim123]

you have no idea what you are talkin about, listen to the song kill yourself. timbaland made danja and defined his sound

[juliusrox00]

Maajn, Kill Yourself is like the weakest song on Timbs Album..

Look, Timb is great on drums, who you think made all those melody's from Justin, Nelly Furtado and Timbo on Shock Value.. Indeed, it's Danja..

[kennylim123]

I was talking about the lyrics, he quoted himself that he's the one who made these producers, Tim is a trend setter, he defined danja's drum style and progression and note formation for his melodies. Danja has made some of the basic melodies to those albums, but timbaland beefed it up entirely different. Noticable. I'm suprised you can't tell from a timbaland production to a danja production.

Why do you think all projects worked with Danja and tim, danja is noted as the co-producer?

[RoyaltyAuthority]

stop it with the bullshit. UR ASSUMING ITS DANJA. u have no fuckin idea what went on in that studio u dumbass

[juliusrox00]

Indeed, I don't.. So neither do YOU..

[RoyaltyAuthority]

yea but i dont post bullshit online assuming this and assuming that i wait for facts sumptin ur dumbass doesnt do

[kennylim123]

Tim don't even need to say anything, he knows he did it, he's not going to go around trying to prove it, tim has been around forever, his first released production was Pony by Ginuwine, that track alone already has a modern sense to it, he even beatboxed in that one.

[RoyaltyAuthority]

tim AND DANJA Made the beats 2GETHER. r u slow or just stupid?

[Polonikes]

this interview is great. thanks hope there will be more interviews with danja in future

[LarryLoveTube]

#1 producer right now

premo is easily the 2nd greatest hip hop producer behind dre...

the list is really just my personal faves and i tend to side with the producers who play instruments, which is why i have rodney jerkins and chip dixon as my all time faves, followed by b.cox...

as far as hip hop producers premo definitely makes my top 5, as does 9th....

[ReapeR948]

You guys have no idea about J Dilla, Pete Rock, etc -- man, yall niggas is trippin

[LLMelvinL]

He kind of remind me a bit of pete rock. but that just me.

[Eyatnik210]

Danja is the first Danjahandz...He's getting plenty of credit--where it counts. What a diverse music taste he has, like myself and Timbaland.

[bond631]
