If I hadn't just shipped my daughter to California for a year I'd take you up on the offer, but you're rather missing my point.

I have gone through your other threads, and enjoyed them. My primary objection (which you overlooked in order to go on a tirade about an illustrative point) is that there is so much other source material that is so vastly superior to this, several genres that you've actually already done even, that it's confusing and somewhat disappointing that you'd showcase this bollocks instead.

You mention the technical aptitude necessary to accomplish this, but if they're so good at it, why is it that you've heard 95% of the song in the first 10 seconds of the track? You specifically site gang starr, I just listened to it again, and the ENTIRE song is a 3 second long sample on repeat, with ONE overlay interspersed with the chorus; group home manages a 4 second sample, but still it's on continuous repeat for the ENTIRE song with smaller snare and cymbal samples and almost seemingly random intervals.

That's why I object to this being calling "music." Other people will argue about the lyrics, saying that the beats are merely to set the timing, but my God hip-hop has resorted to MAKING UP WORDS rather than phrases that actually rhyme!

I'm not saying that you shouldn't like this, to each his own, but calling this material creative is preposterous.
