Producers - Discussion / Best Beat Selecta
« on: November 17, 2009, 11:35:54 AM »
Good morrow my fellow producers... I don't know if this topic has been posted before but, as a beatmaker and/or producer who do you think is the best beat selector (in terms of emcees)..? Who can pick beatz that all complement one another to create a fulfilling album or mixtape..?
Personally, I think it's Mos Def currently - judging by his latest offering. And maybe Rakim.

Yeah Deacon, no doubt. The challenges in general seem to have died out. So, even if it's not a game over challenge, please do. X.

Sh1t is fresh... The beat and the video... Matter fact, Gorilla Films is moving our scene up.
Teargas, in terms of movement, they hold it down. These katz do they thing. Been on their website - fresh. Their album cover...
Peep it...

Listened to the album... Smooth serene soundz... I can live my life to such a soundtrack.
Been a fan of the music for a minute but I never got to hear such a jazzy side... Can I say cla**ic? For a beat tape, I'll say so.

Aight, listened to the tape again. I'm not going to break down everything down to last hihat but what I would say, is that the feel of the joints is on the same tip.
Think of it like this... Would you be able to go to someone such as Jay-Z, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Teargas, ProVerb, Zubz, Tumi or whoever, and be like "here's your album, when do we start recording?"
It's not as diverse as what beats on an artist's album should be... A good example is Find Forever by Common (Bearing in mind that Kanye did the bulk of them). If you were to listen to the album as a beat tape, I think, it'd still be as good. There's a whole range of beats there... Or, Tumi And The Volume's albums... Relapse (Eminem) - maybe... The Ecstatic (Mos Def)... 8 Diagrams (Wu-Tang)...
I don't know if you get my point now?
Either way, please do listen to Blockhead's Music By Cavelight...
I would give you a link but it seems the blog doesn't exist no more...
Hope I explained this sh!t well.

Aighty... My list:
Nca Ba**
Maxin' relaxin' - I just need to know what the sample is saying..?
Crazy Spanish sh**
Fresh sh**
Those are my choices... Can't check the myspace and reverbnation pages, don't have flash, and I can't install it either...

Downloaded the tape earlier today and...
The beatz are fresh, something not too common to me, in S.A. that is. This is speaking from an emcee's point of view. I would lace beatz like that.
From a listening point of view, I found it dope but a tad bit boring. The beatz are almost all on the same tip, the tape lacks versatility. A hell of a good beat joint, in my opinion, is Music By Cavelight by producer, Blockhead. And I am not in anyway comparing you to the dude but maybe, I'm giving you something to look at in terms of being a bit more versatile.
Other than that, I enjoyed the tape... Nice drop. X.
