I want an album that spreads a special kind of feeling from the first to the last tracks. You wnat examples? DJ Quik - Safe + Sound 3X Krazy - Stackin ChipsU.D.I - Under Da InfluenceMC Eiht - We Come StrappedRoscoe - I Luv CaliLil Rob - Twelve Eighteen Part 2Messy Marv - Bandannas, Tattoos & Tongue RingsLook, I also named some newer albums to show that also albums that aren't from the golden age of 1992-1998 can be dope cause they are consistent. And I wish me some funk. Deep basslines with Vibe like in "Keep It On The Real" of 3X Krazy for example, I hate to hear stupid bass sounds so often like for example on "Get A Light" off the new Snoop record, the same tone all over the song. I also miss the "gangsta whine" these days, funky worm sound you know? Funky synthesizer sound. The best thing you can do these days, let your album be produced 100% by Fingazz

Those albums you're refering to sounds like compilations and are one the few that mastered that formula. 95% of the artists that try to duplicate that formula fail badly. While those that go the one producer/production team route 95% of them succeed.But hey it's your album,I was just speaking in general and hope that other artists read this thread.
Major respect for starting a thread like this. There seems to be a genuine sincerity with independent artists such as yourself that doesn't exist in the "mainstream." The fact that you are on here conversing with folks validates that substantially. On that note I'd love to hear some songs with REAL issues(fucked up gov't, disease, war, etc.) being addressed like "Shotgun." Something akin to a Paris record, perhaps. Is that Barliament Drunkadelic still coming out this summer?
oh yeah, and im keepin the funk in it!!!!

Is that Barliament Drunkadelic still coming out this summer?you said it homie...basically the angle im going for on Barliament Drunkadelic is nothing as in-your-face as a Paris, Kam, or Public Enemy, but something a little more cynical, a little funnier and easier to relate to, but basically addressing the same issues. if you think about it, NWA addressed a lot of the same issues that PE did but in a whole different way. instead of telling you why the government is fucked up they gave you stories and examples of shit they were dealing with everyday that illustrated WHY things are fucked up.here's a few examples of what i'm working with:"Don't Hate": a song addressing how I don't like the idea of "don't hate on such-and-such artist he's just getting his money". i hear a lot of artists get a lot of passes for dropping wack shit on based on this theory, so i'm asking the question, would you still say "don't hate he's just getting his money" if you applied it to people like, say, George Bush or Donald Rumsfeld or any corporate big wig."Beautiful People": talking about what it takes to look good on the outside, and the great lengths we go to in order to do that while we feel like shit on the inside."Falling Down": a story rhyme based on the movie with Michael Douglas but told in today's social climate.oh yeah, and im keepin the funk in it!!!!
yeah man quality music is quality music. of course a good push promotionwise doesn't hurt lol...but the problem we deal with nowadays is how the quality of music in general has declined to the point where we expect shit to be wack. it's no wonder that a lot of people just download albums for the 2 or 3 good songs. i hate the fact that everyone, including myself, tends to grade hip hop on the curve now, to where if there's 4 or 5 good songs a lot of people consider that good because most artists only have 1 or 2 good songs, or how OK/mediocre shit on the radio gets a pass from people just because it sounds better than the horrible/wack shit on the radio. but it's a hard mindstate to escape when you wanna hear new music and there's not a lot of quality product available. its like these labels are tellin us that "beggars can't be choosers" or some shit.
I'd like to see more albums with just one producer taking care of all the production. I'm tired of those compilation sounding album with all the hottest producers and it would dope if it was a in-house producer that actually sits and work with dudes in the studio,not some hired dude that mail his beats.All the albums out,got the same producers and features,fuck that shit. Cut the shit down to 10 bangin tracks(the old school way),fuck the fillers
