1:18
Well, the link is in the description of this episode, click on it.
1:23
Why don't you like I said, fifty years of hip hop And if
1:27
you missed my last episode, I did a full review, full on review
1:33
of the Little Brother documentary Made a Lord watch all my thoughts about the group
1:40
as a fan, the documentary, the absence of nine Wonder, all that
1:46
good stuff. So if you would like to maybe you haven't watched it,
1:49
or maybe you would just like to hear what others think about it, like
1:53
myself, check that video out. It'll be linked at the end of this
1:59
episode. And you know, also in the description, because not everybody watches
2:04
this podcast on YouTube, some people still listen. They still just like to
2:08
listen and work and do stuff like that. So cool, right, cool.
2:14
Also, if you're done now, next week, if you're from the
2:20
future and you already know and it's already I'll make it your ass out of
2:23
here, Okay, But what I'm saying is we'll hit the like bund before
2:27
you go. All right, But next week I will release my end of
2:34
the year episode, hip Hop Now Podcasts twenty twenty three, which is fifty
2:42
years of hip hop. By the way, and in quick summary, you
2:47
know, this was a slow year ironically compared to previous years. And when
2:55
I say that, I don't mean in regards to the amount of content that
2:59
was released. I'm talking more so about in previous years, it was very
3:04
difficult to narrow down a top five for me, Like it was kind of
3:07
like I would go back and forth with joints and like, yo, this
3:09
one, that one, this one, that one. This year, it
3:13
became pretty clear and played out pretty early in the year. So I'm a
3:20
little surprised that I mostly have a top five that I think I might have
3:25
mentioned months back, right, But we shall see. But within that same
3:31
show, I'm also going to do like a top ten honorable mention, right,
3:37
just ten albums that I thought were good or dope that didn't make my
3:40
top five. But I would like people to know, Yo, you should
3:45
check these joints out right. I don't follow anybody else's list. I like
3:50
to read and see what people think, right, So you can leave your
3:53
top five in the comments of this episode or wait till the next episode and
3:58
we chop it up. But I like the conversation around it. I like
4:01
to see what other people have chosen because sometimes you know, you miss things,
4:05
and you know, if you see all on Twitter or different publications highlight
4:13
a particular album and you like, damn, I didn't even hear that joint.
4:16
Well, I like discovering music, so if I missed it, cool,
4:23
I'm good with that. But that doesn't mean that now that I'm looking
4:26
at your top five or top five from a couple of people that has this
4:30
one album that I won't go and just say well over the holiday, I'm
4:32
gonna check it out, right, but stay tuned for that should be great.
4:39
The top ten, I'm just gonna run through a list, but the
4:41
top five I'm gonna give you a nice, thorough reason why I chose them.
4:47
So stay tuned for that, all right. Big shout out to hip
4:53
hopdx dot com, all hip hop dot com, the source magazine dot com
4:59
sometimes sometimes sometimes I check them out and a couple of places where I get
5:03
my stories from. Uh, let's get right into the business. Andred three
5:11
thousand says or no, he says turned down, says that he turned down
5:18
every Hip Hop fifty appearance. Now that's not a quote, but that's the
5:24
that's the headline, right. I got this from hip Hop dx dot com,
5:29
who got it from an interview that he did with CBS Mornings, an
5:35
interview that he did recently. You know this is today is I'm recording this
5:41
December eighth. Okay, this was this week when he did it on December
5:45
sixth. Here's some quotes of why I didn't feel the urge or desire.
5:54
I don't necessarily like looking back, and I wouldn't want to be in a
5:57
place where I'm doing it just because I'm trying to meet in expectation. I
6:02
didn't get into outcast for that. You know, we were just kids trying
6:06
to see how far we could take it. Now, I'm not gonna go
6:15
any further than that, because that is his reason for why he turned down
6:20
appearances for Hip Hop fifty. I got a problem with that, y'all.
6:26
I have no problem with Three Stacks deciding to drop an album playing the flute.
6:31
That is that man's business. And honestly, I'm not just a hip
6:35
hop head. I'm a music fan, so I kind of have the palette
6:40
for different things, so I'm open to listening to it without feeling like but
6:45
if he would have rapped, I don't care. I got a whole bunch
6:47
of andree three Stacks rapping in my library. I'm good, so I was
6:53
cool with it. This I don't like. You know, a couple of
6:59
reasons, but mainly this is the fiftieth year of hip hop. It's a
7:06
celebration of the art form. You can choose to celebrate it in any way
7:14
you want, but it's a disservice to one of the greatest groups of all
7:19
time, which is outcast. Your intentions getting into the game don't really don't
7:27
have to represent whatever commercial entity was trying to get you for hip Hop fifty
7:31
because that's not what it's about. It's really about celebrating hip hop. So
7:36
you could choose to take a bag or be a part of this or not
7:41
be a part of that. But it's fifty years a hip hop door and
7:46
you and I'm not saying this in a derogatory way as far as saying used,
7:51
but you decided to see how far you can take this thing. Well,
7:58
this thing took you very far. Because if you were just Andre Benjamin
8:03
and you weren't three stacks with the history that's directly tied to hip hop,
8:09
we would not be checking for your flute album, man, we just would
8:13
not. And you could be you could be dumb nice as Andre Benjamin on
8:18
the flute and the rapping, but you wouldn't probably in some cases, you
8:26
probably wouldn't even get the exposure because of just how people are and how the
8:31
game is and all of that. But you are one half outcast one of
8:35
the greatest hip hop groups of all time. And if we're gonna sit up
8:39
there and look at artists from different decades, from different regions, and you
8:45
not participate in any way, right because jay Z didn't necessarily participate either,
8:50
but he did his book a whole thing and in a lot of ways.
8:54
Okay, yes it's kind of self serving, but the jay Z, that's
8:56
how he was, that's always been that way, so so what right,
9:01
But it's a it's a thing you can do during the fiftieth year of hip
9:05
hop. Right. Oh, I'm a jay Z fan. I'm gonna go
9:07
see the jay Z exhibit. I'm gonna go to the thing in you know,
9:13
Yankee Stadium, the big concert. I'm gonna go down to Atlanta when
9:16
they did this, and like you know what I'm saying, like everybody's doing
9:20
something and just one thing that it this does right, because a similar thing
9:28
happened where people were getting on their high horse to sit not their high horse,
9:33
but let me let me be clear, people were getting on their hip
9:39
hop authority activists, horse or whatever. Uh to say, how you're gonna
9:48
have that without Hammer? Come to find out from Hammer, he says,
9:54
Oh, they asked me, but I turned it down. I mean,
10:01
come on, what do you want? Hammer was included. He didn't want
10:05
to do it. Now, it might have been it might have been something
10:09
lowly or not right entertainment wise, and that's his prerogative. But don't act
10:15
like certain people being left out. And I feel like some of that was
10:18
being said about outcasts, but here we are. Maybe Big Boy wanted to
10:26
do it, but three Stacks didn't want to do it right. So the
10:31
thing is is the man can have his opinion, and the man can decide
10:37
not to do a hip hop fifty anything. But I'm getting a lot of
10:43
negative energy from him towards hip hop. And honestly, I don't think it's
10:50
because he doesn't appreciate hip hop, because he's also said he does. I
10:56
think he don't like y'all. I don't think he likes the He said he
11:03
dealt with some what was it not some anxieties or like some social anxieties or
11:11
something like that, so I could dig it and in this climate for somebody
11:16
who already suffered through that, it becomes it is heightened when you have the
11:24
people who not everybody, but the people who are hip hop heads go on
11:28
Twitter, it's like, Yo, why you're not releasing this? Why you're
11:31
not releasing that? Because if three Stacks would have put an album out and
11:35
y'all didn't dig it, y'all would have destroyed the man a hip hop album
11:39
I'm talking about because y'all already had mad jokes for the flu. So he's
11:46
reading the room. But when it comes to hip hop fifty man, I
11:48
didn't watch every single dedication at a show that happened, but I watched reactions
11:56
of hip hop fans, particularly from those errors, and most people just enjoyed
12:01
it because it was a celebration of the things they love, and to not
12:05
have outcasts be a part of that just seems so weird, you know what
12:09
I'm saying, because most people leave them out. Sometimes not all the time,
12:16
but most people kind of leave them out. You know. I don't,
12:20
but it's a thing where it's like, how, you know, how
12:26
can you not when both of you guys are healthy in here? You know?
12:31
And even when he talked in an interview, becase I don't want to
12:33
take too much time on this, but even when he talked about previously,
12:39
like when Fife passed away and well, actually no, I'm mixing a Little
12:45
Brother documentary, but it's related because I remember when Fight passed away, it
12:52
was either Big Boy or one hundreds three thousand or both or whatever kind of
12:56
talked about how there was talks of a tribe and outcast kind of thing musically,
13:03
And I was thinking about the moment in a Little Brother documentary when Fife
13:07
passed, and that made Big Pool and Fonte, after not speaking to each
13:13
other for years, get back together as as friends and then eventually release an
13:20
album. And that's the thing, And it was really it wasn't just Fife
13:28
passing, but it was also the fact that, you know, Big Pool
13:31
had a scare, a health scare. Also. That's what I think about
13:37
you. You guys who started out as kids. You had to be hip
13:41
hop heads to try it right. It wasn't like, yeah, I'm gonna
13:43
I'm gonna try to rap. That sounds like you're not committed, but I
13:48
know that is a complete opposite. You were fully committed to hip hop.
13:52
We know that South got something to say and all that, right, So
13:58
why why Tree? I don't like to look back, and not looking back,
14:03
you're celebrating the careers of the people who influenced you your own careers and
14:11
just showing people what hip hop is totally what it totally is. Right.
14:18
It's not just the music today. It's not just the nineties, right,
14:24
It's not just New York. It's not just the West Coast organgst the rap,
14:28
it's all of it. So how can you have a conversation or performance
14:33
about the history of hip hop and we ain't really touching the dirty South and
14:39
the way we know because alcas is a part of that story. So I
14:45
say all that to say that I don't necessarily like his reason because I don't
14:50
really buy it. But I could understand if he didn't want to deal from
14:56
a logistics standpoint with that side of the industry anymore, which I think that
15:01
has way more to do with it than it being about not wanting to revisit
15:05
outcast stuff or hip hop stuff. I just don't like it being said out
15:11
loud in the public because people take that and just say to themselves, Yeah,
15:18
who cares about that old stuff? No, we ain't doing that.
15:22
We already got a problem. So there's that. There are my thoughts on
15:26
that part of it. Ah, Little YACHTI and I know you don't care,
15:33
but let's talk about it real quick. Little Yati says he raps better
15:37
than most rappers, and he also said that's a fact. Now I don't
15:48
even know if I want to read a quote from this dude. Yeah,
15:52
after reading it and not reading it to y'all, y'all can just go check
15:56
it out. Little Yay said in another interview how he feels underappreciated and he's
16:10
kind of like been amping himself up to shout his name out, like Yo,
16:15
I'm it, I was it, I've been it, I'm still it,
16:19
I could rap better, and all that stuff. And this year he
16:26
put out a rock album like I think earlier in the year, and I
16:32
listened to it and I was like, oh, it was actually better than
16:36
I feeling now. I know for the genre, it's not like anything groundbreaking.
16:40
It's probably basic. It's the same difference with Three Stacks having this experimental
16:49
flute album. Right. If you're a hip hop head and you don't under
16:55
say anything but hip hop, mostly you're not checking for that because there's no
17:00
bars right, and even if you listen to it, you might not like
17:04
it because you don't really understand what this, you know, experimental ambient type
17:11
music is, but within the genre, or let me just say real quick,
17:18
or maybe you like it a lot and then maybe you oversell it like
17:22
it was the greatest food player who doing it like this? It is a
17:25
masterpiece, but within the art form itself, and the people who play this
17:33
kind of music and who have a catalog of this kind of music, it's
17:37
very basic to them. It's a good start, but it's basic, right.
17:44
It's the same thing with Yati. I was surprised by the rock album
17:48
and I was like, well, I don't really like them as a rapper,
17:52
but this was cool, right, But it wasn't. But if you've
17:56
heard rock albums before, it is it's like a start. It's nothing groundbreaking,
18:03
it's nothing. It's not adding anything to the art forms. It doesn't
18:07
necessarily hurt it. It's just like, Okay, someone else could do that,
18:14
what's the big deal. But I noticed with him when he was promoting
18:21
that rock album, it was kind of like he was trying to be like
18:23
I'm trying to you know, I don't like where the hip hop game is,
18:27
so I'm going off to a bigger t, right, And that was
18:32
doing the rock thing, being experimental with his artistry. That almost like a
18:37
flex of I don't have to drop a rap album because I'm gonna drop this
18:41
rock album, right, which was cool, But then it felt like he
18:45
didn't get the reaction he wanted right, like he's a genius come back and
18:52
rap yachty. Nobody said that, and I ain't talking about old heads like
18:56
myself, who maybe when he came out it worked for the kids of that
19:02
generation. But let's sum up with Luliati saying, first of all, I
19:08
don't know who you're talking about. When you say you're the best rapper.
19:11
You're not even close. I don't even hear complete sentences when you talk,
19:18
let alone bars, okay, and if I even hear bars, I question
19:26
if you wrote them because you don't have a rap career and all of us,
19:32
well, let me take that because there are some people, right and
19:36
I ain't gonna say no names because I want to open that that can or
19:40
that Pandora's box. But you don't have a career where you just don't display
19:47
bars until so late you got a ghostwriter fan, Somebody help it, because
19:55
you could have did this before with the music you already made, and it
19:56
still could have been catchy and all that stuff. Uh, people like jay
20:00
Z and Biggie and other rappers already showed you that you could have a hit
20:07
that can be in the club but can also contain bars. Drake does it,
20:11
Jaco that, like Kendrick does it. Everybody does it, Okay,
20:15
so it's not impossible. And I know when it comes to hip hop,
20:22
it's like sports where you're like, yo, you know, you're supposed to
20:26
you're supposed to think like that, you're supposed to talk like that. You're
20:32
right, But then you step into a different realm when you start to talk
20:36
like that, YACHTI because when you start to say like you the best,
20:40
well, then we start to analyze your bars. This is fifty years of
20:42
hip hop, doog. Certain things don't change right now if you're just making
20:48
music, like, for a quick example, like a dude like flow Rider.
20:52
Right in the past, I used to be like, man, get
20:53
that out of here, blah blah blah. But then I just like,
20:56
you know what, there's an audience for that. Why am I looking to
21:02
rate bars for a song where you're just supposed to be partying and being happy
21:06
and right. So it'd be different if you're just talking about yo. When
21:11
it comes to those types of jams, I was that guy or I'm still
21:15
that guy. You start just generalizing best rap up, man, we're gonna
21:21
start listening to your bars, and again, we could barely listen to your
21:23
interviews and get complete sentences and things that make sense. Know you're square.
21:33
Don't say things that aren't true, because even rappers with bars are talking about
21:37
the album as a classic before they come out, and we hear it and
21:40
we're like, yeah, it ain't no classic, but they're better than you,
21:44
yachty. They can afford to like Westside Gun is better than you,
21:48
and what'side Gun ain't no barking, but his music is better than yours.
21:55
And I may not have liked this last album, but it's still his worst
21:59
album is better than your best. The album, right, so I kind
22:03
of look at it like Shorty Relax, he Flex and Jewelry. It's just
22:08
it's just really tiresome. But not to be so judgmental, I will say
22:18
this, yady, Understand your audience, Understand your generation. Understand the current
22:27
generation, your generation, the current generation, they everything is microwave with them.
22:36
They run through music. You the guy, because they had you had
22:41
that one single and they played it to death and it was a soundtrack to
22:45
their week or their month or that semester. When you start doing follow ups,
22:52
they start to taper off because they are only concerned with what's trending.
22:57
And if you ain't trending life or you're able to duplicate that conversation around your
23:03
music every time, like someone like a Drake, you just don't have people
23:10
check it for you, and you can't be angry like yo, y'all don't
23:12
see me, because they're never gonna see you because they've been stopped listening to
23:17
you a long time ago and they are your fans. It just happens,
23:22
right, unless you self sabotage and do something that gets people off your music.
23:30
But like the Baby for example, right y'all know the controversy with him,
23:36
you can kind of look at it like, yeah, he should have
23:37
read the room and saw where he was within the realm of pop culture and
23:41
what the results were gonna be. But also before that, I saw a
23:47
mad Cats who way younger than me who were already tired of him. They
23:52
liked the album I liked, and then they checked out and he dropped like
23:56
four five albums after that. But he was also in a pop realm,
24:03
so it was giving him legs because it was like, Okay, you know,
24:07
my core fans may have kind of moved on. It's a trend in
24:12
music today. Unfortunately. People are always just looking to be hyped about what's
24:19
coming up next, and that's that's the excitement, that's the enjoyment. And
24:26
once it's out and the conversation just ends, and some of these people are
24:30
not listening to the music no more. And it just came out. So
24:36
that's what I mean. In one way, no, you ain't nice like
24:40
that, you're not the best rapper. And then another way, it's like,
24:42
yo, read the room right, Maybe don't talk as much. Like
24:48
when Meek Mill was like, yo, y'all think my music wll AC Should
24:49
I come out with more? And everybody was all honest, and it was
24:52
like, if you don't want to hit them answers, don't ask, just
24:56
do it. Just drop something that's dope and use all the money and promotions
25:04
you can to maybe get it back organically because at once they gone, man,
25:11
they gone like, oh yeah, we a off him, so they
25:15
have it. And lastly, I'm trying not to make this one of the
25:26
spiciest episodes by constantly judging, but the stories this week have just all made
25:34
me say, huh what, huh what, huh what? And it just
25:40
sometimes it just happens that way this podcast. So you know, if you
25:42
are new here, I appreciate you, thanks for subscribing and all that,
25:48
But I just find like there are things where I'm just like, just put
25:56
the music out. They're doing a lot of talk, and this podcast it's
26:02
really about you going elsewhere for the gossip and who got a case pending and
26:08
who paid people off right and who on trial and all, like, I
26:15
keep all of that out of it because at the end of the day,
26:17
it's about the music. Who got an album out, blah blah blah blah
26:21
blah, all that good stuff. That's why I'm doing my end of the
26:23
year special and it's just music. But there are weeks like this where there's
26:27
just news and lately there's been a lot of controversy and talk around. So
26:36
if you don't know derekd Dot Angeletti a synonymous with bad Boy Records back in
26:44
the days as a producer, but also a pretty dope producer his own right,
26:49
you know, also synonymous as the voice of the Mad Rapper. Right,
26:56
And if you're young and you're like, who's the mad is he?
27:00
Oh? He mad? He a rapper? No, that's not what I
27:03
mean. Yes, but that's not what I mean. The Mad Rapper was
27:07
a character made famous on Bad Boy recordings to mimic those that was hating on
27:15
Bad Boy. Honestly, when I first heard the Mad Rapper, I was
27:18
like, they talking about ghost Face, right, look up the history.
27:22
Shocked by this, right, But you can hear Mad Rapper skits on Biggie's
27:30
second album, and May's album and the Locks album on bad Boy. He
27:33
eventually had his own album, fifty cents. Single how to Rob featured the
27:40
Mad Rapper, you know, talking on it like it was a thing,
27:45
and it was funny and it was humorous. He was on Benny the Butcher's
27:49
I won't say first album, but I guess what felt like his first official
27:56
major album. He was on that, and the skit was still funny like
28:03
back in the days, right, But recently Derek d dot Angeletti appeared on
28:15
maf Hoffa's podcast Right, which is called My Expert Opinion Barbershop Setting bringing the
28:23
guests, asked a bunch of questions. Usually there's some nostalgia with it,
28:29
like having him on, and he was on there, and he had some
28:32
words regarding He had a lot of words, but he talked a lot about
28:37
himself musically as a producer. But in doing so he upset J Dillafans with
28:48
some of his words. And I'm not gonna again. I'm not gonna.
28:52
You should go and watch it on YouTube because I think it's better if you
29:00
hear it from him. So I'm not gonna play a clip but none of
29:03
that because I don't know if he's cussing, and this a family podcast,
29:06
I don't remember that. But I will read a little bit now, just
29:10
real quick hip hop d X did it did goodbye by putting some of his
29:14
credits in right, And I don't want you to think that this is all
29:18
he made, but these are some of the credits. Right. He made
29:21
Biggie's Hypnotized, he made all about the Benjamin's Beat, Right, jay Z's
29:26
where I'm From? Right as a as a part of the hip Man production
29:33
team. But d Dot he got he got some credits for sure. He
29:40
said this. Let me just read from the article that you can also read
29:42
on hip Hop d X. Former bad Boy Records producer Derek d Dot Angeletti
29:48
has ruffled the feathers of J dillafans by claiming he has a better catalog than
29:53
the late rap legend. Now, why they say the late rap legend?
29:56
Don't you know that J Dilla rapid secondary? Don't get me started appearing on
30:07
map hof as my expert Opinion podcast, the NYC Natives said, and see
30:11
they starting up stuff. I love J Dillar to death, but he can't
30:15
see my catalog. Now, I'm not mad at that line. Hip Hop
30:21
is competitive, so he's gonna say what he's saying, right, And I
30:26
think Deyla would have challenged them. If you were here, would have challenged
30:30
them. It's hip hop. Then they probably be like, YO, were
30:32
working together. That's hip hop. That's how we do. We argue.
30:33
Well, y'all, I'm better, I'm better. Let's see. It's cool,
30:37
but Dylan ain't here. Keep that in mind. Here's the quote.
30:42
Put their ish up against mine, My ish is all over the place.
30:48
Is ish I made twenty seven years ago. So let's see we can find
30:56
one more quote for y'all. You had, Well, what is this?
31:02
Oh? This is I don't want to read a quote from this dude.
31:03
We're just going to keep it movingy' Let me just let me just get to
31:07
this. Other producers and historians and people in the hip hop game started to
31:18
challenge Derek D. Dott On, saying that because he kind of aligned Dela
31:25
fans and his music up or summarized it all as backpack right when he saved
31:33
my issues all over the place, He's saying, I got boom back for
31:37
the backpackers. I got R and B hits, I got you know,
31:44
commercial radio hits. I got hits and other you know, just everything,
31:49
right, comparing himself to Delah. But in a lot of ways he showed
31:56
a little bit of ignorance as to Dyla, because Dila is not just a
32:02
dude who had slum village Oh yo. I worked with common like he gave
32:10
other rappers radio hits, also like Q tip and buster rhymes. Right,
32:16
Dyla did. Now, this is what the difference is. D Dot is
32:22
not necessarily a household name, and neither is j Dillon. But when you
32:28
start to say what records d Dot produced, like the Benjamins which was huge,
32:36
Hypnotized which is huge, both which still get played on the radio to
32:40
this day in certain markets right where I'm from, which is like one of
32:46
jay Z's best songs, but probably more so on a boom back tip,
32:51
on an underground tip, on a deep cuts tip. So that's what he's
32:55
saying, would range like I had the biggest of the biggest it and then
33:00
I got the street hits. So he like, I'm doing what you're doing
33:05
down here, but you ain't doing I'm doing up here. And there's a
33:08
little bit of truth to that, but it's almost like you're playing like Dyla
33:14
is only an underground dude. This is the thing that's probably the biggest blemish
33:24
on Dila's career is that he needed an agent that would expose more people to
33:32
what he produced. Because the songs you may say that Dyla produced, most
33:39
people don't even know he produced it. Most people know that didn't And I'm
33:46
talking I'm not talking about household name, but I'm just talking about within hip
33:50
hop, know what d Dot did because he was on a bigger stage with
33:54
more exposure and promotion for people to go and look and say who did this?
34:02
But Dla It was almost like Dyla's stuff was like even if Buster said
34:08
it, people didn't catch it. People wouldn't correlate Dyla is JD from Slum
34:15
Village and the Uma and work for the tribe called Quests and you know all
34:21
this stuff, right, Some people just didn't make those connections with Dyla's music
34:28
to say, you know, you may hear people you know, like yo,
34:30
who's the top five producers? Right? A dude who doesn't really have
34:35
his own top five lists but maybe know that you know hip hop well and
34:38
ask you that question, and this person you'd be like, whoa, whoa
34:43
Dyla Prime Doctor Dre. They're probably like, okay, Doctor Dre, premier
34:50
Rizza. They can't really make a connection between Dila and what he produced because
34:58
Doctor Dre is tied to Snoop Dogg and NWA, larger than life groups in
35:02
hip hop, but so is Dyla. It's just that you don't know that
35:08
he did this wide range of things. Let me just say this and let
35:15
me end on this. I think d Dot is talented and worthy of being
35:24
mentioned when you talk about some of the best producers in hip hop history,
35:30
whether you like it or not, that Benjamin's beat it just never got old
35:34
to me. I think it's one of the best beats in the world.
35:36
It's not even that complicated, right when you're talking about technique, as far
35:39
as I can hear, right, the same thing will hypnotize. But it's
35:45
just like doing the right thing with the right sample and being able to have
35:51
hit underground hits and stuff like that. Like just doing all of that.
35:54
And I don't even think d dot did where I'm from, but who knows.
35:59
Maybe he did, who knows, maybe did most of the work,
36:02
who knows. But nevertheless, do your research on Jay Diller. He had
36:12
a book that was put out, well, there was a book put out
36:15
recently in recent years that really talked about the history of Diyla and more so
36:22
his technique. When you inspire musicians to change the way they see music,
36:31
musicians, there's a difference between a dude who samples and create something new based
36:38
off of the sample, right, but somebody had already did the work to
36:45
create the sound. That's the true musician in the situation, right, the
36:52
true producer in the situation. They're pulling the melody from inspirations and things like
36:59
that. You're taking what they created and you're building upon it. Dyla was
37:02
able to change the way people hear music. And that's not any hyperbole or
37:08
nothing. That's just a fact. What people, including myself heard as being
37:15
offbeat was just him turning something that would sound offbeat into a different frequency.
37:23
And this is not me, you know, master scientists with the no.
37:28
This is facts from musicians who analyze what he was doing with sampling, chopping
37:35
samples right, and how he put them together and how he could take a
37:39
song and it's unrecognizable. I just don't hear d Dot producing on that level.
37:49
There's a reason why we look at somebody like Premiere or in It,
37:53
and really even Riza for their production styles, especially Riza for their deduction styles,
38:00
because it wasn't about just sampling for them, it was about how can
38:06
I freak this thing? And it's not I'm just taking a melody, you
38:13
know, from a beat and you know, chopping that up, but it's
38:15
essentially that same melody or that same baseline. You're talking about taking something that
38:22
is unrecognizable because how he chopped it up. Like most mostly producers are the
38:29
ones that catch what he's doing. But what I understand from all of this
38:34
is just by looking at the video because of body language, d DoD just
38:39
wants his respect as a producer. But I don't think you're gonna get respect
38:45
by, you know, saying you're better than a man who's no longer here
38:52
because he can't challenge you, and it's it's borderline disrespectful. Leave him out
38:57
of it. So just say just yo, just blaze. I mean,
39:00
he the person everybody been beating on anyway, they all better than him.
39:05
Do that, do something or don't use anybody in order to talk about yourself.
39:10
Just tell them what you did. Let your work speak for yourself.
39:15
Let them read the credits and hear you say I did this, I did
39:20
that. They'll do the rest. But when you when you got a kind
39:24
of energy because you want to be respected as you should be. I mean
39:30
I was like, Yo, d did It's kind of dope, But this
39:34
ain't the way. Same't the way to do it, man, stop it.
