Is there any way we could hear it? I love that poem and want to hear what you did with it.

I'll see if my boy's got it, it was a live recording done on air in a radio studio.

People always talk about mainstream rap being really bad but in reality alot of it isn't that bad. Eminem does have talent, even if I don't like him and alot of the gangsta style rap that is dominating lyricially isn't horrible. The Games album for example isn't overly bad, lyricially he does alot of namedropping with NWA and Easy-E but it's not that bad. Then you have the 2Pacs and Biggies who still seem to get alot of attenetion still even if their material released when they were alive is alot better.

In the end though i'll never really get into it as much as stuff like A Tribe Called Quest et cetera.

Good call hiu. Even I'll grant Eminem has some skill, but I still don't think he could have made it without Dre. The Game on the other hand, he's better off without Dre and Aftermath. I like alot of his s**t, 100 Bars and so on.

you can sample just try to make it totally different from what ya sampled from.

Doc.DGAF · 04-28-2006, 06:33 AM

That would defy the purpose of sampling now wouldn't it? then it'd be a remix or a parody or a cover.
