^^^There's documented evidence that Dre knows his way around the studio and it's various Equipments!!!!

But tha thing, is to find that one equipment that you know how to manipulate, then learn the others to a knowledgeable level,and let others who have mastered the said equipment do they magic on it!!!
Music creation is suppose to be Fun, not Tedious!!!

Merry Xmas!

"Dre knows his way around the studio and it's various Equipments!!!!" lol


Yeah like he knows to step over the Korg Triton Cord when he reaches it?

"Hey Eminem I want to teach you how to produce. You know.. know your way around the  studio and its various equipment.

This is a extension cord. I know it looks bright and pretty but don't bite into it really hard ok? or it will hurt!

Thats called a power switch over there. You need the Trinity in the  "on" position before we can let the niggas we paid to do our beats come in and play with it. Next...
Thats a power outlet. Don't stick your keys or a fork in that or pretty colors will shoot out... That over there is "the Wash" I knew it wouldn't be a success, but I was cracked out at the time. Now your a producer like me! Just practice writing your name on stuff tha isn't your's and you've got the whole thing down " - DD

Title: Re: DUBCNN: Bishop Lamont "Pope Mobile" Street Album Gift [Free Download!]
Post by: Meho on December 25, 2007, 10:35:47 AM
What a lovely gift from Dubcnn and Bishop!

Man, look at the production list: Dre, Storch, Khalil, Nottz, 9th Wonder, Danja, Mark Batson, Focus, Teddy Riley. That shit is incredible. I'd give anything to have that lineup on an offical LP, let alone a mixtape.

I just went through it once quickly, for Christ sake, I'm still bumping Caltoit. Of course it sounds dope, opossed to N*gger Noize and especially Caltroit, it's more laid back and probably also more serious (I'm not sure, as I said I've only went through it once very quickly). I like the fact that for example Storch and Danja provided very unique beats, when it comes to their production discography. Even the Dre beat sounds funky, like a Chronic leftover. It's nothing amazing but let's not forget that this is only a mixtape.

One thing I did notice is that you can tell that some tracks were made in 06, maybe even 05. Because you can hear him doing that whole repeating of the words in the end of the punchlines (like Jay-z does sometimes too). Listening to Caltroit, you can tell it was made in 07 because he doesn't do that anymore. Bishop has been mentioning Pope Mobile since 06, so my theory is probably legit.

Anyways, I'm gonna give this some proper spins and then drop some more commentary.
Title: Re: DUBCNN: Bishop Lamont "Pope Mobile" Street Album Gift [Free Download!]
Post by: Lunatic on December 25, 2007, 10:44:46 AM
Just gave it a proper listen, another near-classic or classic from Bishop man. I honestly don't even know what to say lol. IMO he dropped 3 near-classics to classic in 2007 ALONE. That is unheard of.

Really liked the beats from Scott Storch, very unique. The Danja beat also was cool as fuck. Street Theology was my favorite song, the beat was crazy & bishop spit nice shit. "yeah pimp" was the worst song IMO.

All i can say is I hope he keeps it up ;)

LMAO!
But I'm not going to get into an argument over this, seeing that it's Xmas!!!!

You commented on the picture.
i commented on what you posted,based on the info that i know of Dre plus on the info i know from his Production in the past!!
So if You feel that Dude does nothin the Lab that's on You...
I couldn't careless...

Besides my explanation above,is probably a more accurate picture of what Dre is like in the studio with the musician he works With!!!
I wonder if you'd say that same for the likes of Q.Jones,Peter Jackson,D.Bruckhimer, G.Lucas,S.Spielberg..the List goes on....

Damn, almost done with it all the way, this shit is just plain crazy!  If this were "The Reformation" i would have been satisifed!  This album is the shit plain and simple.  I also love how they decided to drop the DJ tags, hopefully we'll get the untagged "N*gger Noise" soon.

ok had a chance to bump this and if this is a glimpse of what is to come then its looking real good, maybe incredibly good, for music next year. here's some opinions on the tracks on this street album but i will be bigging bishop up quite a lot. imo he is pretty much the best upcoming mc when considering music quality, rhyme skills and entertainment value. obviously, he's repping westcoast rap too! i know a lot of poeple have a similar opinion too. ok...

intro - just an intro track, but surprisingly its produced by dr dre! is dre waking up from hibernation at last? all signs would indicate he is definitely in the process of coming back into the mainstream music scene. some booming beat kicks in over the skit and there's some smooth singing, pretty cool. yeah this is not a dr dre classic or anything, its just a basic, funky, g-funk styled backdrop, kicks pretty hard. its annoying that dre is dropping really quickly thrown together stuff at the moment but thats clearly what it is. this material is being put out for fun, i would make 0 presumptions from this in particular on the doc. when bishop comes with his single i think it might just be a little better than this...this aint even a teaser...

personal chauffeur - dark, slow, spacey sounding track from dj khalil. kind of a dark nursery rhyme feel to it with the singing and bishop splits up the beat by emphasising each syllable. a creepy flow, you can imagine busta on this kinda vibe. equally creepy pimped out/gothic style lyrics. excellent track, khalil definitely dropping heat.

shittin on fools - uk producer dready beats gives a frantic beat with plenty of loud effects and an underlying westcoast clap. bishop spits some energetic lyrics and breaks it down with a more raw flow. deff a track you can dig.

its funny - when you can get super producer teddy riley to drop a beat for a mixtape track its looking good. westcoast club vibe here. instant head nodding going down, should definitely be played real loud for the big booming drums. bishop does his normal thing for these tracks - hating on wack rappers and loving himself plenty. very good track.

yeah pimp - the usual focus feel - minimal melody and a deep bassline - real relaxing sounds and bishop pulls out plenty of vocab with some quick rhymes. laid back.

i just want the money - normal eastcoast sounding soulful sampled beat from 9th wonder. bishop shows he can keep flipping the rhymes on a variety of beats. chilled out again and some pimpin lyrics again.

street theology - more serious track, nice slow groovy piano loop and bishop speaks on the haters and taking it the top in general. solid.

so sad - real interesting sound from danja, downbeat and spacey with bishop talking on hardships again. smooth track.

all i dream about - scott storch with simple funky track like a lot of his westcoast productions. bishop rides the beat really nicely. instant head nodder with the solid production. bishop with some typical off the wall and pimped out lyrics showing he is still keepin in fun and having some laughs 'my porn star name is smackula, bram stroker'.

sumthin' - storch provides the beat again, this time a hard club banger. bishop obviously knows how to get some pretty damn good material off scott. bishop does a smoother style on this deliberate club track. hopefully he don't go for this style too much on the album and is still able to do his harder flows on the more mainstream tracks. this track is pretty spacey again and has those normal storch drums hitting hard. with some extra production or maybe that dre touch a track like this could be real big.

rappers wanna sing - nottz bringing a crazy beat for this one, mad production. he got that retro crackly sound going on with some seriously spacey/funky riffs. some big chords drop with a big bassline. bishop gives a laid back funky rhyme. a track you can bump.

i always knew - another track on coming up from bishop. smooth enough and well done.

music shit - another funky, laid back production from scott storch. old school story telling vibe going on with the rhymes and a nice vibe. solid again.

sometimes - storch gives up a beat where he plays more than a few chords on the piano and its smooth. more soulful track on a hip-hop loop, bishop fits in nicely with more serious rhymes.

anyway - production is almost experimental - focus make a real minimal soundscape with just chords and a low rumbling sound. bishop raps on the future of hip-hop a little and wraps it up on the seriously laid back vibe.

overall dope mixtape. this is probably better overall than most albums we've been seeing for a while. its obvious that bishop is getting his shit together and being on the team with the doctor is just part, although a real important part, of it. he's putting seriously good projects together and putting them out for free, making other rappers looks bad almost. realistically though he wouldn't be selling many records if he wasn't building himself this way and putting out stuff well in advance of his main project. it looks pretty definite that bishop will be coming out big next year. he will do very well because of the dre backing and dre himself won't be following up with no dodgy stuff either. 'should' almost certainly be a real good year. peace.

ahh true. that is the only disappointment of this series. twice now dre's name has been attached, and the first one was dre speaking, and the 2nd is a good beat, but no bishop beat & similar to an old beat (as you just pointed out).

all good, 3 classics 8)

Yeah if you arrange the album and you choose the beats and songs...

YOU ARE NOT PRODUCING!!!

You are EXECUTIVE PRODUCING.

Big fucking difference.

Yeah most high end producers also have engineers in the studio, for things like choosing frequencies, but a PRODUCER programs the beats.

DR. DRE does not know how to program. He just say "yeah that sounds good, now do this and do that to it. Add this rift, add that snare."


IF  you Don't touch the BOX...SUCK COCKS!!!!

I don't understand this sentence. What do you mean isn't using Dre beats ? As far as we know this is a Dre beat. Looks like he created the same beat for that D12 skit but since it was so short and basically played in the background, Bishop and Dre probably decided to tweak it up a little bit and throw it on the mixtape. Because there's no way Dre is gonna put a new beat on a mixtape. When I first read the credits I was like "wtf", how the hell did Dre allow a new beat on a simple mixtape. But as soon as I heard the beat it sounded familliar. Same can be said for track number 9, I've heard that beat before. In the end this is a mixtape, with original production and with a lineup like that you can only except leftovers and beats on their way to producers recycle bin.

yeah, i understand that its unlikely to hear a new Dre beat on a mixtape. Im just saying i dont want to hear Bishop over used/old Dre beats, when they've been working so closely together..

Post by: Lunatic on December 25, 2007, 05:10:45 PM
my short review.

1. intro/heaven ft. bilal - funny ass intro lol. the beat to heaven is a simple one from dre, but very good at the same time. bilal does his thing on here big time. only complaint is no bishop verse. Don't feel rate giving this song a rating without any rapping though. great kick off tho.

2. personal chauffer ft. vanessa marquez - LOVE the beat by khalil, and marquez was PERFECT on this. Bishop's rhymes were tight as usual, and he rode the beat perfectly. 5/5

3. shittin on fools ft. dready beats - sick ass beat, ans good hook. funny song, but amazing at the same time. bishop rap's his ass off on this one. 5/5

4. it's funny ft. indef - bishop's flow was CRAZY :o  4.5/5

5. yeah pimp ft. pcp & angelo - slept on this one at first. the beat is much better than i thought. hook is cool as well. 4.25/5

6. i just want the money ft. bokey - bangin ass beat from 9th wonder. hook is damn nice as well, different. bishop raps was cool. 4.5/5

7. street theology - my favorite beat on the album. bishop spits real shit on here. 1 of the best tracks i've heard from him. 5/5

8. so sad ft. chevy jones - shocked to see this was a danja beat. def somethin new for him, a really, really good new though. loved the hook, who's on it? 1 of the best songs when it comes to bishop's rapping. 4.75/5

9. all i dream about ft. pooh bear - SICK ass beat from storch. somethin different for him as well for the most part. nice ass raps as well. pooh bear sounded different to me on this one than his other features over the years, good though as usual. good song still. 4.5/5

10. sumthin - sounds like more of a mainstream song. pretty good though, another banger from storch. love agian how bishop rides the beat. rhymes are a bit more simpler, but a beat like this "requires" that so to say. some funny ass lyrics lol. 4.25/5

11. rappers wanna sing - AMAZING beat from nottz. love that sound (not good with producing terms lol) when bishop goes "if you'z a" and that sound kicks in. GREAT lyrics from bishop as well (again). love the hook BIG time. some funny ass lyrics lol. Great message 2. 5/5

12 - i always knew - cool beat. only song that's 100% re-used i believe. regardless, nice beat from don cannon. glad he showed jeezy how to properly use a beat like this lol. GOOD lyrics, 1 of the better lyrical songs on this tape. hook is alright, nothin special. 4.75/5

13 - music shit - great storch beat, good shit. great flow used by bishop as well. nice lyrics, good story tellin. love how bishop ain't a rapper who's always actin hard. 4.5/5

14 - sometimes ft. chevy jones & mike ant - amazing beat from scotty. another song were bishop's lyrics really stand out. Honestly, Mike Ant dropped 1 of the best hooks i've ever heard :o  chevy jones dropped an amazing verse as well. best song on the tape. 5/5

15. anyway ft. chevy jones & focus - good beat, great singin on the hook as well. is that focus on the hook or a sample?? crazy ass lyrics again from bishop. amazing way 2 close out the album. 5/5

total: 9.4/10

yo what up y'all, first of all merry christmas to all....

second i gotta say when i saw that production line up i was like "what the fuck"....shiiiit i gotta feeling his album will have alot of dre on it, probably 5 beats at least if this is the shit he droppin on mixtapes now....

by the way the mixtape is bangin, bishop is impressing me more and more slowly...alot of stuff on this is dope and some is def stuff that was made with the album in mind but are leftovers....which makes me happy because whilst there is some dope shit on this, by the sounds of some of the leftovers, i gotta feeling the album will come hard and be full of bangers and not be on some boring tip...for example, street theology...im pretty sure that was meant for his album but its now on a mixtape instead and while its nice its promising that its a leftover because it means the beat or something aint fully right for the album, possibly bishop or just the joint as a whole....and i agree, its real nice and def album worthy for a decent joint...BUT if u lookin to make great albums, i'm glad this is a leftover, right now i take that as a positive....NOW i gotta say....some people on here were like "dre is back, he didnt loose any of his tricks" or some shit got me real excited about the beat, but it was decent, nuttin specail, i really doubt dre would give out any of his heat on a mixtape ever, especially right now....anyways i look forward to hearing dre/bishop on the first single..they gotta introduce themselves BIG, not on some no stoppin carson shit....

about the rest of the mixtape...the dj khalil joint is bangin...i really cannot believe that beat wasnt used for an album, that shit is serious fire....

the danja handz beat was off the hook aswell, the whole joint was bangin....

focus dissapointed....but again, mixtape shit but his someone who needs to impress on mixtapes....when u can make beats like the "feel on it" beat, i aint really feeling his shit on this apart from the last joint and i feel that beat has alot more potential than it showed...like it sounded that not enough work was put in it when it could have been pumped

what impressed me most was one ot two of the bishop lament/storch joints....not because the beats were bangin or anything, u can tell they quick put together/left over type beats but i think bishop came really good on them, especially the 14th track....with chevy and mike, that shit was real fire....a hiphop joint....if any of the scott joints came through, that was the one....very nice, felt like i was hearing a old school storch joint, nuttin blockbuster about the beat....which are great for beats but for a mellow beat, the shit is fire...


anyways there is def a mix of some shit which is def album worthy and other which are left overs....its got a mellow vibe to the album and some orchestra flava to the beats, its nice, if it was an album, it would be dopish...nuttin amazing or close to amazing but because this is a mixtape, its pretty fuckin great if im totally honest....not because its heat top to bottom, but because it sounds like im listening a standard hiphop album...u skip someshit, other shit u bump again, the quality is good...

sometimes, personal chauffuer, steeet theology, so sad are real bangin, without a doubt solid album material....

something, all i dream, shittin on fool(got a nice bounce to it) are all dope mixtape joints, would be fillers average/decent album but again its a mixtape so to have all i mentioned so far on one album is great

the rest i havent really bumped much so far, i was dissapointed with 9th wonder, focus and nottz but its a mixtape....

overall a great mixtape....the sound of some of the shit has a lil aftermath flava to it....kinda reminds me of the time before game was about to drop his debut and we were hearing some bangin shit droppin on mixtapes and we were like "dayum, thats a bangin beat"....this is what this album reminds me of to a certain extent, production got some real high moments at times, i was also impressed with bishop alot more this time than on caltriot..........

to me caltriot=raw mixtape
nigger nioze=nice buzz making mixtape....
pope mobile = album leftovers for mixtape generally....which tells in the quality of some of the beats...kinda similar to some of games shit before the documentary dropped

promising end to 2007 for bishop, i just hope he can hold it on his own album and knows how to make hits and handle real monster beats...he got nobody better than in dre to help there....

anyways this mixtape gives me hope for bishop and i'm actually excited about this album more than the fact its just a dre produced album now comin out on aftermath near detox...i actually look forward to seeing what bishop will bring...2008 will be interesting

It's growing,on my 10th spin now. Maybe my problem might be that I always compare a artists work to their previous work not for it's actual value. But for now it's growing to a 3.5/5. to be continued... ha,ha...

LOL, true that man. i keep my ratings simple. i rate each song outta 5, and divide the total by whatever the albums adds up to (for example, the ratings of this album album added up to 66, and the total was 70. 66 divided by 70, is 9.4).

Looks like he created the same beat for that D12 skit but since it was so short and basically played in the background, Bishop and Dre probably decided to tweak it up a little bit and throw it on the mixtape. Because there's no way Dre is gonna put a new beat on a mixtape. When I first read the credits I was like "wtf", how the hell did Dre allow a new beat on a simple mixtape. But as soon as I heard the beat it sounded familliar. Same can be said for track number 9, I've heard that beat before. In the end this is a mixtape, with original production and with a lineup like that you can only except leftovers and beats on their way to producers recycle bin.

yeah, i understand that its unlikely to hear a new Dre beat on a mixtape. Im just saying i dont want to hear Bishop over used/old Dre beats, when they've been working so closely together..

the credits in the Devils Night booklet say its Produced By Denaun Porter..


Denuan probably only did the beat Obie raps over. It's possible they didn't credit Dre for that 30 sec skit.

lol yeh i just realized that when i was out ha.. my bad

Thats a great street album Bishop is givin us for free. My favorites gotta be "Shittin On Fools" ( makes me wanna laugh every time I hear that sound between the chorus and verses), "Sumthin", "So Sad", "All I Dream About"... Bishop speaks nothin but the truth on the track "Anyway" (speaking old rappers need to torch pass and stop hatin on new comers), thats a nice way to end it. Beats aren't always very good but when you think its free how could you complain? Once again props to dubcnn and Bishop for this!

up and coming artists from all region could and should use bishop's approach 2 the rap game as a blueprint to make the best out of a situation were ur waiting 2 drop ur debut!! instead of sittin back, STAY ACTIVE & DROP TONS OF MATERIAL!!

bishop knows what he's doing & i'm sure it'll all pay off when them sales come in for the reformation!!

any news on when we might be getting a fully mastered version?

As soon as we have it, you will have it, we're awaiting further word from the camp.

This may well be another release they will put out on CD fully mastered for sale - you have to remember that with Bishop on a major and these backed by Aftermath/Interscope that there is always some reasons why things dont always get put our full quality initially.

word, especially the work ethic. it's incredible how he's able to come up with dope projects in such a short time span while others struggle to come out with a debut. and it's mostly quality material in my eyes. "All I Dream About" is my joint right now!!

thanks for the mixtape  :)

i need to listen to it some more, but so far i'm not really disappointed (calitroit has grown on me as well) ;) i still want bishop to cut down the amount producers involved in the process, to improve the production consistency. on the other hand i'm thankful for the 3 streetalbums that bishop shared with us for free.

yeah, the beat is not that bad at all. it's a loop, but i wasn't really disappointed by that, since i was expecting an intro beat anyway. no stopping carson has grown on me a bit as well; thank god both tracks are leftovers though. imo Dre has lost a bit of his consistency in the last few years, but i'm not counting him out (yet). there are still plenty of tracks produced by him that i like(maybe mark batson and dawaun parker are not as good as dre's former partners mike, scott and mel-man, but they are not bad at all imo).

by the way, what's up with the nickname change; have you started to anticipate detox more? (no disrespect)  :D

I love the production and the depth on this mixtape. It's refreshing to hear something with deeper meaning that's not centered around gantstas, hustlasz, and gay ass dances.

All of the songs are great, but my Favorite tracks are:
Personal Chauffeur
So Sad
Sometimes

This has becom my favorite mixtape from Bishop, Quality stuff.

Post by: Matty on December 27, 2007, 06:18:41 PM
been bumping this still. there's some deep tracks on here but my most bumped tracks are the combo of scott storch joints...track 9 and 10. 'all i dream about' in particular is a killer track its got a real solid feel and 'sumthin' is a serious banger :0

this mixtape is definitely more solid than a lot of full albums recently...if the reformation is much better (which it obviously will be) then its gonna be a real big treat. focus tracks are a bit of a letdown on here though. if anyone missed it check it immediately but that mike anthony track that was up recently with warren g produced focus was a real monster track. definitely want to hear more focus tracks like that...

yeah he said before that he works with an album budget for these type of projects. if that's true, then i think there is a link between that, and bishop's reason for not being worried about interscope and his own debut album release. he must have some type of plan; i can't figure out what it is though.

Fucking christ would it kill Dre to fucking use a different drum pattern than just kick snare kick snare.  The melody sounds like something that he would have done in The Firm days.

Majority of Dre productions have been very boring and uninspired lately.

i actually didn't really listen to heaven until now.

check the sample that was used by dre; Chad posted it in the digging the crates topic  ;)
Dre flipped the sample well imo  ;)
