If I made a track that sampled Ae, Aphex and SQP and made it into a pop
hit, would I get similar cred among you guys? I mean, really. Who gives
a shit? I like The Police, doesn't mean I think Puffy deserves any
recognition beyond that of your average poser. What has Timbaland done
that's so deserving of respect besides take IDM and techno-like
structures and use them as hip-hop wallpaper? If he had to make his way
like most folks, with simple instrumentals, we'd be calling him another
Ae clone at worst and a one-trick pony at best.
Pass me the Schematics, please.
