Love this video. Infamous is a classic album. Q Tip being the mastermind behind this album is amazing. Imagine an artist/producer known for alternative hip hop and his jazzy sound being the executive producer behind a groundbreaking landmark boom bap album that had a dark sound. You can't underestimate someone's creative mind

@darkskinwhite 11 ай бұрын

well that's because he really just out tweaks & finishing touches on it, the essence of it was already there. Qtip is a genius though, guys like that can do it all.

He actually did more than people think. He re-did the drums for Survival of the Fittest. Produced and mixed 3 songs. And he mixed Trife Life and Up North Trip. Google Complex Magazine The Making of the Infamous. It tells a lot....

Great break down I actually forgot about the Eps16 keyboard sampler. When I tired remaking those Havoc beats I noticed he pitched them ALL THE WAY DOWN. Also, that explains why those beats did not have a ringing sound that the SP1200 gives to samples. Dope vid

@donpaci5289 Жыл бұрын

Do you mean Hip Hop or Boom bap specifically?

@CentaurusRelax314 Жыл бұрын

@@donpaci5289 Both, i guess. Well, i dunno.... I remember specifically when the first rap record came out-exactly where i was when i heard it. And then i was a 'fan'-hunting for rap records, back when it was brand new, and record stores didn't even know what to do with them or where to put them. There would be one separate section, with like five different 12" and that was it. I tried making my own rap recordings as a junior high kid, in my bathroom (for the acoustics!) with two Radio Shack tape recorders. So, i liked hiphop. In high school, i got more into new wave and was previously into Van Halen and Hendrix and 80s metal, and then House came along, and hiphop took a back seat. I liked rap into college, with Public Enemy, Third Bass, EPMD, etc. But, that's about when it ended. It got too gangster, too vulgar, too misogynistic. It used to be fun and creative, but then it just got ugly and as it grew in popularity, the effects on black culture were made more destructive and permanent. So, that's my sermon on that. So, if one asks if i like hiphop, the answer is No, with some exceptions-i tended to like Neptunes productions/collaborations. But, re: boombap specifically, i can't say that i'm a 'fan,' as i don't really own any of those records (save a few MP3s), but i do love how they take me back to a time and place. Early 90s is when i moved to NYC and boombap is kinda that sound. I like the percussion especially, and it's that aspect that i sorta want to incorporate into music i intend to write. But, it won't be hiphop. It may have some hiphop characteristics, much like triphop did.... If that makes any sense.

@donpaci5289 Жыл бұрын

@@CentaurusRelax314 Yeah I get what you mean I respect that. The thing with hiphop is that it has changed so many times and keeps changing in sound. I think you probably also would've liked Eric B & Rakim, Run-DMC by the artists you mentioned. I am a very big fan of hiphop. But the sounds have changed so many times that to be honest at this point I don't even like what is considered commercial rap and over the last 2 decades. It's a whole different genre. I see where you coming from as far as Gangsta rap even though for me I see it more as art or like a movie. Especially with rappers like Nas, Immortal Technique etc great storytellers. It's just sad to hear how people's view changed about hiphop (not critizing you)/ That's why i'd rather HipHop to be less commercial so that we can get the authenticity back and rappers not feeling the need to be controversial in order to sell. But I am curious, you make music right? Do you have a page?
