the one problem

you can only get away with this if you get it on a jay z album or something of that level

everybody knows this alphaville song and knows its that fire- thus if you loop it up, it will be that fire

sampling depresses me in that way

anybody?

i can listen to the first15 seconds of it, then song starts to suck big time. jay doesn't even fit into this beat. neither do the hihats or the bass.
 
True im not really feeling the snare though. It just doesnt make the track hit. Maybe it isnt meant to do that.
 
LOL. You guys are like me. "This song has a shit snare". I wonder what I would have said if I never got into producing and didn't know the "technicalities".

Around 1.23, the pretty girls that stop by in the hood are BABY MOTHERS? No thanks!
 
lol at one point in my life before music producing i didn't know what a snare was lol.
 
im not really feelin it, the version i know of this track is some type of rave version i used to hear all the time at old school nights i think, i prefer that version to this tho to a generation of people they wont have heard the sample b4 so itl prob do really well commercially.
 
Yeah it kind of sucks that kids have no idea where these samples are coming from....kinda like that new Jason Derulo song. How many kids today know who Imogen Heap is? Probably a handful. The majority of people today are like "Damn Jason Derulo came up with that all by himself!"

Uh, no he didn't. He had JR chop it up, throw some high-pitched synths on it, and then he destroyed the track (not in a good way) by singing on it with his terrible, auto-tuned-to-sh!t voice.

I actually like this track by Jay-Z, I just wish there was a little more acknowledgment of the original samples nowadays.
 
Producers are bitter because they know so little that they think they know more than consumers who know everything negative we discuss in threads about songs but can still manage to find positives in the song and like it anyway.

Music fans know what a snare is, know original samples, and can still enjoy both originals and remakes. "producers" don't have that luxury because they're too busy overanalyzing what they perceive to be an easily put together song.

People have the nerve to compare "beatmakers' and "producers' on this site all the time. no such thing as a "beatmaker" so that a moot point from jump.

Question should be "do you respect other's artistic freedom enough to see where they're coming from even when you don't enjoy the final product". Funny how many people on this site of all places don't understand "art" when regardless of the reason you make it, that's what we all should be making everyday. Ever think that sample and snare were actually chosen by the composer to "paint a certain picture" and "capture certain emotions"? He know something we don't, cause he got a beat to Jay-Z and got a platinum plaque. :cheers:
