Mausberg appreciation thread

[Paul]

i won't say he's the greatest, he's not even in my top 50... the fact is he was cut down even before he got his chance, the man had some talent and could have only got better with age

wot happened 2 him bt the way?

[Don Seer]

he got shot twice in front of his house in compton..

here is an inciteful snippet from the video interview justin@dubcnn did with quik at the end of last year



dubcnn.com: Do you have any plans to release any more Mausberg material?

I don't own the masters. and the songs I did do on them, I buried them away in a vault. If i find them, then I'll mix them and put it out. But it just hurts. if u think about it. How would u feel if your artist ...you're Mausberg's homeboy and you're producing his album. July the 3rd, you know... what was it...nineteen... it was 2000... july the 3rd, 2000. You go in the studio and you're working on his record,
right. July the 3rd.. y'all partying, having a good time, y'all drinking, y'all eating, recording, got the faders up, the studios beautiful like this...you shake his hands, and you say 'Alright man I'll talk to you tomorrow. We'll take tomorrow off cuz tomorrows fourth of July. Have fun with your family, and then on the fifth, we come back and finish it and get on down.' and he was like 'Alright cool cool cool.' We
all leave the studio. Fourth of July comes, you know the whole day passes, everybody go do what they do . The fourth of July is over, you go to bed, you getting ready to go to the studio the next day. You sleeping in bed and you get a phone call 'Hey.... what?..... Mausberg is dead, but the studio is still booked, You still gotta go to the studio the next day" and its like .... well... show must go on. so I got up, went to the studio, and started working. His food was still in the room. his drink cup right there. and I gotta do the album, I gotta finish his album without him. I can't even ask him which one of these should I not use. 'Do you like this vocal take or this one?' He's gone. How does that make you feel?

I know it's cool to say he's dope since he's dead, but I don't think he is anything special. I wouldn't be checking for him if it wasn't for them Quik beats.

i dont get why people think that a rapper dying makes their lyrics better. or makes them cool to listen to... when mausberg died did his lyrics change ? NO they stayed the same...

how you cant recognise talent is beyond me... one of my favourite Mausberg tracks is "the re-birth" and thats not even produced by quik...
