So, what is the good demo? How do you know when your
'sound' is right for the masses, and more importantly,
of course, the record labels? 'a good 2 years'? and
how exactly do you calculate this evolution of talent?
ok, so you don't particularly enjoy the album...
actually i can probably imagine what your record
collection looks like, because your sort of thinking
is like a virus... inspiring a similiarly lazy and
polarized standpoint,(scientifically and
sociologically explained by the Peter Principle-look
it up) it's quite possible that if you don't have
'that tick tick followed by that bump' then it ain't
hip-hop, and if your kicks aren't on the one and the
three&1/2 then it ain't dnb..true it won't be, and the
music will be more than better for that very reason
since it doesn't stringently stand inside the square
confines of drawn in, paint by numbers genre music.
with your same warped low freq synth stabs and
scuttling tambourines.
whatever, enough energy expended on this, back to what
matters.
