Have something to that beat, but I'm gonna sit on it.
Ayo, how you feel about French producer Dela?

It's about time you started spitting over my shit, I've got an entire catalog of Northern Soul songs waiting to be copy/pasted into HipHop beats, lol.
And Dela is a great producer, one of the few producers that keeps the spirit of Nujabes (R.I.P.) alive.
Good. Most of the EP is over his shit. One Thomas Prime beat and one or two Elmatic instros.
That isn't good at all, original production >>>>> old beats, all day, every day.
Gotta raise my profile somehow.Originally Posted by Dr Doom
That and this summer hasn't been financially the best for me. My tastes even for how I wanted this to completely sound didn't lock in until late July... and well when money's not involved, you can afford to be moody.
I figure most haven't heard what's on here and some of the shit hasn't been rapped over anyway - that and you gotta outdo those who've had the beats before you.
But I'm currently debating what to do with EP 2, well, now that I have good money.
The key to becoming original begins at being original, young padawan. But let's hear what you've churned up first.
Original production is expensive - you gotta rely on a unique rhyme style and some type of cohesive sound early on til you link w/ the right folks. Lupe beatjacked most of his early career, but he wasn't unoriginal at all I think.
at least til I get paid lmao
and even then I don't know where to look for the type of shit I wanna do for the next EP
Original production is cheap as fuck if you just get the system. Take my beats for instance. Sure, they're incredibly dope and all (lol) but they're also built entirely on uncleared samples, so there's no way in hell I could sell them. But that wouldn't matter if I gave them to a guy to put on a Free EP. Because when you release a Free EP no money is made which means no case can be made. But what it does do is get your name out there. Following the rules of the system is what people with no vision do. Get some vision and think outside of the box.
Just look at The Grey Album. You think Danger Mouse didn't know they were going to shut down his shit the second word got out he sampled an entire album by The Beatles to remix Jigga's the Black Album? Of course he knew, but he also knew that getting it out there would be enough to get his name out. He didn't need to sell the shit, he needed people to hear the shit. That's the golden rule. No matter what you do, no matter how many rules you break or shit you pull, it'll all pay off on the account that what you do is dope. Because the right people will notice and that will do more for you than sticking to the given path everybody follows.
Cats are charging, for free use and/or uncleared samples or neither. Esp. that quality quality shit. Are you suggesting I just jack *****s' shit? The vision is already laid out, I just need to track down some cats to fuck with it... It's kinda case by case now. Depends. Not enough beats unrapped over w/ what I want outside of some Knxwedge/Clams shit and a few "Kendrick Lamar/Ab-Soul/SBQ type beats" on Youtube.
Also, are you familiar with studio equipment? Bout to start up a starting budget of about a grand for that shit.

No, I'm not suggesting you jack shit. I'm suggesting you find a producer who gives zero fucks about a paycheck and 100% about getting his name out.
I still make beats in Fruity Loops, b. Do I look like I know anything about professional music making? lol
