Dr. Dre is the Greatest
::: Dr. Dre :::I'm gonna point out what eMiNeNT D0M@iN is trying to say.
DRE is def top 3 if not number one as far as producing goes. But... a lot of his work, sampled based, is a straight rape of the original. Which is why I like Primo more than I like Dre. Primo will FLIP something. In other words he will take something that you would never think a beat can be made out of, and turn that shit into something ILL. Like Jeru's Come Clean.
A lot of Dre's work, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, is just a polished version of the original sampled material. I don't hear what I would call a FLIP.
But like yall said.... THAT IS HIP HOP.
There is nothing wrong with that. Some of the best beats work that way. Like Das EFX They Want EFX. Staright Guitar Watson sample. Not much done to it but lopped it up. There is no way to measure how much someone flipped something. I am just saying that I tend to give a little more credit to someone who completely transformed something into something hot than to someone who took something that was ALREADY DOPE, and just polished it.
NO I.D. had this sample flip exercise where he challenged all of us to flip some Nautilus and naturally, the producers who really took the samples far left or right got the most props because they showed some real skill and creativity in really FLIPPING it. Everyone came out with some very different arrangements.
But at the end of the day... all that seems to matter to people is how it sounds. They don't care that it is a straight loop with some kicks and snares over it. They don't care if it was a completely original arrangement hand played by the producer. They don't care that an unknown producer arranged it, to have it bought by a FAMOUS Producer who then gets to take the credit. They don't care if the producer hired a violinist because the producer cannot play a violin.
They just want to know if it is worth listening to in their car or iPod.

Story: My Dad
::: Is Cooler Than UR DAD :::Funny story... but it is one of those "you had to be there to really understand how I almost sharted myself funny" stories.
My pops put in 20 plus years into the Air Force. So he retired and was getting it in over at Home Depot. While he was working someone rolled up on him and was like, "Hey... you wanna get paid to take some pictures." My pops was like, "Yo... I don't even get down like that." Dude was like, "it's all legit, 300 a day, meet me at Dillards." My pops is all about his paper so he did it. So they put him in a baker outfit and took his picture. but he had no idea what is was for. I guess my Mom was jowning on him because he wore his make up all day. A month later, we see the picture. Which is hilarious in an of itself if you knew how my Dad is. He is a man's man. If it's broke, he'll fix it... with his huge banana hands.
Right after my wife and I got married, we went to Maui for our honeymoon. A vacation that I am still trying to pay off today. While we were flying on the plane, she was looking at this Southwest magazine and my subconscious saw something out of the corner of my eye.
And BLAAAAAOW!
There it was. The final ad. I don't know if I ever laughed any harder. I grabbed all the copies I could and gave them to my pops.
Gear: 99 Problems
::: I want 99 Jordans :::I am tired of always looking for shirts I want. So I decided to start designing shirts. These are 2 ideas I had for the shirt remix contest over at Karma Loop.
What do you like most about the Sneaktip Brand?
One word... Sneaktip. There is a play on words here. I have recently gotten on the SNEAK TIP with my first pair of XXIII's. And... I like to play a game with the ladies called "SNEAK TIP". You know, where I sneak the tip in.
If you could redesign a Sneaktip tee shirt, which one would it be and why?
I wouldn't redesign any of the shirts. I think they are all dope. I would just design a grip of new ones because I got a ton of ideas yo!
If you could flip the 99 Problems Tee, how would you flip it?
See the attached files to see my dope remix.
If you had the opportunity to design for Sneaktip, what new concepts would you bring to the brand?
My mantra would be, "Things you didn't remember you remembered." Shirts that would make people laugh at loud when they saw you and then they would ask you where the hell you bought it.
If you win, would you want your tee to be a general release or a quick strike (one time drop)?
General release. Because all my tees would be insta-classics.
Are you a sneaker head? If so, which sneaker inspires you?
My first sneaks were the Ewings. But the REAL ones I jones for were the Purple Air Max joints that came out back in the day. I even drew a picture of them and put them on my wall. But now, Jordans are everything to me. And I don't collect them. I actually wear them. What I have found is that really really good things are always around. For example, I kept my Dreamcast because that was the only way I could play Marvel VS Capcom 2. But I eventually sold it for the cash. Then guess what hits the online PS3 store? Marvel VS Capcom deuce! So I ain't worried about Jordans not being around. And it's a crime to die owning Jordans that you never rocked. I rock them shits yo! I want to have 99 Jordans and all of them are worn down to the leathers. I will die wearing Jordans.
What about your designs & concepts set you apart from other designers?
The content. My shirts don't say LOOK AT ME. They say SOMETHING. My designs breath the art of visual communication. When you walk into a movie theater, there will be at least 5 people that instantly know what the hell you represent when they see a shirt that I designed.
What do you hope to achieve from designing a Sneaktip tee?
What SNEAKTIP will achieve is Legendary Status as the best shirts ever created with me as a designer on their front lines. It will be the only shirt that earned the same GOAT STATUS as the shoe itself.
Movie Review: The Visitor
There are a lot of movies that focus on developing the characters by watching them instead of their dialog. And sometimes the movie suffers because it becomes a little boring due to the lack of dialog. The pace is slow because no one is saying anything. But this movie has the perfect balance of dialog and action in developing its characters. The story is full of unique people who are all believable. I wont say I loved the movie because of how it wrapped itself up but I definitely liked the film.
All movies are challenged with the fact that they only have a small amount of time to develop their characters and get their point across. So one of the characters was a little forced to me. I'll let you watch the movie and see if you felt the same way. I mean, the situation is already very unique and I can imagine it is hard to really convey the authenticity of a situation like this in an hour and a half.
My favorite thing about the movie was the depiction of love.
Most movies tend to over romanticize it. They portray it like some super magical situation where everything is euphoric and the individuals have this ultra bond that is established almost at first sight. People meet each other and then find they have things in common and discover they have this amazing chemistry between each other. But this film shows you that the bond that love creates sometimes, is just that. A BOND. You may not have a lot in common or have a lot of chemistry and connectivity. It may not even be sexual. Sometimes it is just having a chance of a connection worth having. And that was what I liked about this movie. You had two people, who were brought together through a hardship. And then a dialog of unspoken body language helped develop and uncover the bond of love that is there even though little else may be there.
And the way the movie communicated that, made this movie dope as hell to me.

This item is OE # 06A 906 461 A. This also fits 0 280 218 003 ( 0 280 218 003 ). BEWARE OF CHEAPER FAKE / COPY Air Flow Meters that fail with a few months. Trust Bosch Quality.

030 Remix
I tried to lay an older beat over this acapella. But I only ended up liking the guitar part of the track. So I got rid of everything else and built around the guitar. I get a lot of complaints about the synth. But that is my favorite part of the track. A lot of times, I am making beats til about 3am. At that point I am so tired that everything starts sounding dope. So the first thing I do the next morning is wake up and listen to the last track I did to see if it still sounds good to me. This still got me hype so I left it alone.

Screen Capture Software: Snap It
::: Free Trial :::If you are looking for a cheap way to capture images this software might be what you are looking for. The most helpful feature about this software is probably the auto save function.
A lot of times people want me to help them with their Reason questions but I don't understand what they are referring to. If they had a screen capture program like this one, they could send me the pics to I can see what they are talking about.
029 Remix
Ominous 029 - Who Dat
This was for a contest but I never made the deadline. Version A has an annoying horn chop. I was focused on the bass line and I completely ignored how that horns sound really slow and sloppy. But this was just for fun. Version B came out a little better. The beat doesn't match AG's energy but the overall sound came out cool to me. That is why I bounce the instrumentals and the remixes. Sometimes they don't work together.
