Madlib probably barely made any money off making the beat, but probably gained more for recognition.

If you think Madlib gives a flying fukk, you lost.

fukk madlib

I've peeped the work, damn near didn't change a thing and didn't clear the sample on top of it :heh:
He didn't do the beat.

I will say that Madlib's production was pretty lazy around that time. Lots of straight up loops, no chops, etc.

:why: C'mon Madlib, you gotta chop that shyt up. You can't sample Nautilis without clearing it and take a loop. I don't even think the nikka changed the pitch at all.





:mindblown:


I had off-time, was bored wit this
I coulda made my double LP
just by sampling different parts of nautilus

“One of the problems that confront many ‘Hip Hop’ or ‘Rap’ artists is that they are unable to achieve an instrumental background musical sound quality for their works,” James states. “As a result, they borrow or ‘sample,’ therefore infringe the performance and composition of others in this case, the copy written works of James.”

I can't explain why, but this statement pissed me off.

:leon:@ the Original Sample,I can hear like 5 Songs from it

5????

Try like... 150. At least.

He actually hasn't. He has what, 2 big records? And i defy you to sit through 'mardi gras' past the peter piper break. shyt is all types of corny.


fukk Bob for this and fukk the taxi theme.

Exactly. Dude's catalogue is a prototypical unlistenable ball of cheese and outright shytty music. Sampling in its most ideal, artistic form is like making a fukking feast from a garbage can full of scraps, banana peels, dust, broken glass, and phlegm. Bob James should be thanking his lucky stars his tacky ass music is memorable solely because of sampling.
