I think I didn't thank you for the amazing old school mix. It made me feel old though... Old school used be be stuff that I wasn't around to hear, and now it's stuff I know by heart.

yea but they weren't average either.

Sure they were.. IMO.. Solid is great and all but Dre has to make at least a few epic beats when he does an entire album... They weren't Firm bad but they were Dre good..

Haven't heard what you think of The Recipe yet Blackace, what'd you think of it?

I liked it... Wouldn't crank it but thought it was a nice track. I have never been a huge fan of Kendrick...

I thought the big bang was really good especially the direction busta was going in. Now he is with Cash Money all he is going to be doing is that rapid fire shit that can get tiring quickly on a whole album.

Yeah, but a song with him a Mystikal could be magical

I think your seeing dre through rose colored glasses. Sure he made some good beats in the past. But besides that nothing much.

? His two solo albums, his work with 2Pac and NWA albums say you can shove your rose colored glasses comments up your bunghole

Free Steam games for GAF HOPpers

ArmA Cold War Assault. Really Operation Flashpoint 1. I think they lost the rights to the name but not the game.

Zombie Driver. Running over Zombies in a glorified Android game.
Yo I'll tak-

The only requisite is that you actually want the games to play and not to hoard. Just chat me on Steam and you can have one if you can use it.
Nvm.

I haven't played a Steam game in ages.

Hey if anyone in GAF-Hop wants an iTunes (US store only) code for Angry Birds Space (the regular version, not for iPad), I have one laying around. Oh and DiRT3 codes, legit ones that lost their bartering value after the whole leak.




Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar talk on Big Boy's Neighbourhood.

Game ft. Fat Joe & Young Chris - Greystone. First off of his new tape. It's okay.

Where's the ASAP x Lana track?

.

From 2DB comments, so take this as you will

Apparently Rocky pulled it and said he wanted it for his own album. That’s some selfish shit. This song was going to be on a free mixtape, and once he saw how much people liked the preview he decided that he was going to put it on an album that people would have to buy.
The Kickdrums said that their song is all equally owned so you would have to think that he had no problem getting PAID for that song, either, right? Kinda lame.

Kendrick Lamar, vocals: “It was very important to showcase my city. [The record] wasn’t premeditated. When I heard the beat, it felt like my sound, like [producer Scoop DeVille] had seen that vision. It felt like one of those summertime, feel-good joints. It was organic–and it wasn’t too far from Dre’s alley of expertise.”

“[The track] is also about showing that these skills like lyricism can still survive in the mainstream and on the radio, like Power 106 and Hot 97.”

Twin Sister, whose “Meet The Frownies” was sampled: “The idea of Dr. Dre hearing something that we made makes my head explode. Scoop’s work on the track is inspiring, he used sounds we made as a tool to help him create his own world. We are all about that. Doesn’t hurt that Kendrick Lamar is amazing either. Section 80 was great, can’t wait for the new record.”


Life+Times: What was the process like making this track?
Scoop DeVille: I did the track at my home studio. After I had a rough version, Stat Quo came through to vibe out on some jams–and after going through a number of records, he ended up linking with Dre and playing him some of the joints I let him take. Like, the next day, I got that phone call from Dre and him. I envisioned [Dre] for this particular record from the jump, so when I found out he was feeling it, I was stoked. Also, I’ve been working a lot with Kendrick this past year already, and it just ended up being one of those records that everybody liked and wanted to move with.

L+T: Why’d you sample Twin Sister?
SD: I was on my way to airport when I heard this song on KCRW, an indie radio station in LA– it was a premiere for their single called “Meet The Frownies.” As soon as that record kicked in, it already had me captivated. Then that voice came on–”Smokin’ weeed with youuuu…” It just did something to me where I had a “hip-hop producer moment,” like almost the same feeling when Eminem dropped “Stan” and everybody was like what sample is that? Musically and production-wise, it was incredible that it could bring something new and fresh to hip-hop. My appreciation of true art and great music is how that happened. Twin Sister, the Universe connected us through music.

L+T: It’s rare to hear Dre rapping on a track that he didn’t produce. What are your thoughts on that?
SD: It’s the biggest honor to have Dre rapping on this record, considering it was tailored for him from the beginning. I’m just very happy to be a part of this movement with Kendrick. We’re some of the next people out here putting in lots of work and it’s finally getting noticed. It’s truly a blessing.
