Damn, thanks for uploading this, it gives me an all new appreciation for 1976.

ISSSS-STANN-BULL  ...nice

You are such an ignoramus. Of course playing music by Bach or Mozart is art. Of course music is one of the arts. You are a tedious troll so kindly fuck off. Don't call me a 'pretentious music student'. You don't have a clue who you're talking to. Blocked!!!

[zulu26]

@stretchmorgan

troll? you're the one on an RJD2 page talking shit about how this isn't music. talk about trolling. if you're gonna come on here and argue shit for the sake of it, expect to get shit spoken back to. fucking "wanker", as you guys like to say

[zulu26]

Playing Mozart note for note is hardly art, just as using a sample without changing much of it besides adding a drum beat isn't art. Creating something "out of thin air" is art, and I agree with you on that. But I also think creating something using many different samples and making it sound completely different than anything heard before is art as well. It's a different type but still nonetheless. It doesn't gotta be one or the other, "fuck this or fuck that". Learn to appreciate.

RJD2 1976 = Sophy + Cora !

[stretchmorgan]

All this proves to me is that there used to be tons of guys who created arrangements for gigantic ensembles of great musicians out of the thin air. Its almost impossible to do this kind of thing nowadays. Not enough money in the industry, traffic, parking etc. I find it so depressing that these days anyone with a half decent ear & a simple programme can casually take credit for what is a colossal amount of hard work on the part of the musicians, technicians & scribes.

[nybackf]

@stretchmorgan I have to disagree. Music is always been something borrowed and stealed with the composerrs own ideas. I think that especialy RJD2s style to make new music of old songs is astonishing. To pick the right parts and to the backrounds isn't something everyone could do. It can also promote the old songs. I found some bands from the '70s while listening to Fatboy Slim.

[zulu26]

@stretchmorgan

i think it's more of a tribute to the unsung heroes. kids nowadays don't make an effort to listen to good music from the past so dj's/producers have to re-touch them in ways that new generations can find them accessible and interesting. i'm sure the obscure blues and jazz composers from the 50's-70's find it flattering that people even listen to their music rather than overlook it and have their unlistened to 45's gather dust in a basement. only people complaining are disney

[stretchmorgan]

@zulu26 Anyone who has learned to play an instrument to a decent standard in a group situation like this has experienced something 1000 times more profound than someone with a Technics 1210 & a laptop, on their own, in a bedroom. There was a school of thought that the whole scratching / beat juggling / collage based music coincided with the withdrawal of funds from music education programmes in New York. May not be true but its a fact that playing instruments is the real shit, not this.

[zulu26]

@stretchmorgan i never argued that. you obviously are biased and have a pre-planned argument for this. what i said was producers intend for it to be a tribute to the music no one listens to anymore. it takes a lot more skill to learn an instrument and i never said collage-based music is as profound as "real music". most don't understand the counter-culture that is sampling, especially pretentious music students. It's not meant to replace music, its a different interpretation. its art not music

[stretchmorgan]

@zulu26 Oh yawn fucking yawn. Keep your cheap comments about "pretentious music students" & shove em up your ass. I can't stand pricks who resort to unfunny insults. Just stay in your little bedroom with your little laptop & kid yourself that you're making art. The fact that you differentiate between art & music which are actually one & the same thing shows that you are a knob. How dare you call ME pretentious! Check yourself & STFU. Thankyou.

[zulu26]

@stretchmorgan Little angry. How am I the one being pretentious? I actually play piano and guitar myself and hold musicians in high regard. It's people like you that aren't open-minded enough and get angry over people "stealing" samples. And there is a distinct difference between art and music. Learning to read a staff is no different than learning geometry; it's a mathematical representation of sounds with regard to time.

[metalicdragon80]

i take it back its not retartded .. i like it

[DJTjaden]

Wow, this is a really informative vid great work! Just proves the genius that is RJD2!

[sampleener]

dude ur the shit thnx for posting

[metalicdragon80]

this is restarded !

[zionchild83]

@metalicdragon80 Retardado??

[TheTimbob21]

he is a gay

[droan999]

he used the dr. sampler 303 on the entirety of deadringer. anyone else here or read that

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

@droan999 I doubt it. I hear the MPC2000xl sound alot on that album.

[fruitbooter919]

he said in the book to his new cd that he is not taking long samples anymore. kinda like he felt like he was cheating or something. so he moved on to making more of the beats he likes himself. it makes for a really good live show. he has changed but still good music.

[LaughNowCryLater323]

who da fuck is RJ!!???? lol i like diz tho

[konadus85]

great album, great RJ, why, why he is not following this style any more

[Strate2]

Because he follows his mind, and not his past. I'm beatproducer, too, and I can highly understand his way of making music, now he has got a lot of more ways to make a sound sound like something... that's why his sound has become a bit poplike, but he stays true to the psychodelic feeling of his beats, that he always had.

[LostEdwin]

great idea of putting all the songs together!! :o)

[Qurash]

wow nice find

[ra327]

thanks

[altaybek]

cora's song is really catchy and addicting if you like the sound of synth :)

[boogaluke]

when rjd2 sampled songs he was the best!! but he had to stop =/

[dngcat]

why did he have to stop ???

[boogaluke]

i heard that some music companies are telling him to stop using samples and start making original beats from scratch, some story like that

[wylinonwax]

He didn't actually... a new album is coming out in 2010. From what if heard he will get behind the MPC again.

[dngcat]

good good thnx for the info ill be on the lookout..shame there aint more clips showin the samples he used tho

[dubscarab]

Bam bam bada baamm.

[helical]

lol i got addicted to the second song :D

[helical]

nice :)

[ismaelrodmacq]

3 très bonnes chansons ! Chacunes dans leurs styles !

[funkolars]

I listened so often to 1976 and allways got the feeling that the singer is german. Most friends of mine didnt believe. Thx I didnt even know in germany was or is a singer called cora.

The latin song is verry good.

Thx for sharing your knowledge. RJD2 should do on his next album more of his great mixing.

[mercapri302]

I'm in shock.

1976 is my all-time favorite song, bar none. I thank you profusely, dj nelson, for going to the effort to find these samples.

Absolutely amazing.

Thanks,

Merc

[wallacericardo]

this is insane how he mixed these together..I never would have thought of doing that- its so cool how he slows down the cora beat to give it a hip hop feel and makes it sound like male voices. unbelievable..thanks for sharing

[drbluntone]

it is a male voice

[MFskip]

..no he`s an drum-machine-robot lol

[bboyabdul]

nice job... great post!

[GAOHONGMYAO]
