[QUOTE]Originally posted by Narmerthoth: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Narmerthoth: [qb] ^ Bernie Worrell's keyboard riffs are weak? LOL! Why choose A Tribe Called Quest? They aren't today, but yesterday like Curtis Blow. Yes, it is taste because IMHO, Kanye or Jay-Z can hardly be labelled as, artists, unless you describe DJs as artists. If I wrote a novel by plagiarizing from Shakespeare, Hemingway and Baldwin, could I really be considered a novelist? [/qb][/QUOTE]I did not say his keyboard riffs were weak, you just made that up. I am speaking of the overall composition. The reason I showed that guy, is to show that he samples but in an advanced method, he understands root notes, chords, progression etc. By your reasoning you're suggesting that a guy like Bruno Mars is not talented. Bruno Mars - 24k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyT8IEBkvY By the way A Tribe Called Quest has as released a new album, one month old. I am not sure why you bring up Kurtis Blow again? I have nothing against Kurtis. I know he was great at his craft. Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest (RBMA New York 2013 Lecture) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RWctL6Pk6A [/qb][/QUOTE]YO! Hahaha...I usually don't waste time to listen to this stuff but I 'm between Spice simulations and just started another Analog block sim, so I have a few minutes to burn and watched the Q-Tip vid. Is this what you call artistry? Really!? Lordy, Lordy! Is this what you call, advanced sampling? I used to do better than that with my Prophet-5, a LiNN Drum, and bouncimg between two cassette tape recorders, with the only difference being, I didn't need to steal other people's material to do it. I can play, sing, compose all on my own. He's stealing (sampling) my boys from 145th and Amsterdam, Black Ivory-You and I, a HUGE hit from the 70s, but only the piano intro. Black Ivory lived two doors from me and We performed that song at the Apollo, The Audubon Ballroom, and all around the NY area. We didn't have a full time band so we used a group called, The Funk Brothers to back us up. I lost interest and didn't take time to determine who else's material he's stealing to lay on top of the intro, but the vocals are super weak and not worthy of being on top of Black Ivory's hit. If Q-Tip's song is 1/100th as large as Black Ivory's, he'd be lucky as hell. Leroy and the gang's vocals are Top Class, but those on Q-tip's DJ sample are just plain mediocre. I hear better vocals on the street corners of Baltimore. LMAO! and you called Bernie Worrell's ORIGINAL composition weak. LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5BJmtHCyc8 [/QB][/QUOTE]
