Is it just me. Or is just blaze a tad bit overrated?

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Just blaze was more gritty and creative as a fat man.


He lost that weight and skills went with it.


95 percent of his material post 2005 is deplorable/forgettable/paltry/underdeveloped and/or downright uninspired.


Fall from grace would be an understatement.


He shot himself straight to the abyss of producerial shiit cakes (which is type worse than urinal cakes).


Bleh at blaze.


Drumma took your star wars laser drop and ran with it something grandeur and you couldn't say shiit. Didn't say shiit. Responded was non existent cuz even HE knew he lost his mojo and couldn't back it up with a solid beat to save his career.


I really mean it.


(and this is coming from the biggest blaze nuthugger from 2000-2005 - so you can sense how passionate i am about this post).


*bumps M.a.d.e. album and reminisces over those beats*

I mean you can't put Just in a bracket with RZA, Pete Rock, etc...you just can't.

Just like you can't put Jay Electronica in a bracket with Kool G Rap, Kane, Rakim, etc.

Even though he'd fit in, aesthetically...let's keep him to his era.

When compared against other top producers of HIS era...Just Blaze is top 5. EASILY.

I said the same thing in the thread about best 100 hiphop beats or whatever. Cant really do it for cross-eras, theres alot of nikkas who are going to be biased towards 90s east coast boom bap. ALot of modern day production is going to be underrepresented and it's just not a fair comparison.

:wtf:

Bink created one of Just's styles
Listen to 1-900-Hustler and You Me Him and Her

his other styles aren't bitten from Bink i.e. the rock style beats and the radio type shyt (started off kinda Rockwilder/Swizz-ish but now he's more southern/pop)

Just blaze makes beats that can be played on instruments, which sound more organic.

Meh.

I can't say what was going thru that man mind or inspiration for where he got his production from. nikkas think that just b/c they heard one thing first, the other's a bite. Binks reasoning doesn't even sound legit if you look at what I posted earlier. U nikkas can argue this shyt all day, but IN MY OPINION, Just > Bink. Not by a lot. But he's clearly better, and has stepped his game up over the years.

"Pump It Up" was :trash: come on guys :comeon:

In retrospect, "Pump It Up" is corny as hell, but if you grew up in that era, or even the 90's. For that 'throwback jersey/fitted cap/baggy clothes/mixtape punchline' period of time that was the early 2000s, Pump It Up was THAT shyt. It was arguably one of the best party starters of the decade. Up until that point, nobody had heard nothing that even compares to that style of beat. That's another reason I say Just ain't bite off of Bink.

Just's been mainstream successful with ALL TYPES of beats. I mean look at the beats he did on T.I. King album. nikkas is smokin that shyt again.

:comeon:

I love Pump It Up and agree with the entire first part of your post, but


:duck:

Timbaland-esque stacked drums over a Kool and the Gang sample Tribe flipped in the 90s? Producers were doing that before Blaze.

Stuff like this was out few years before it too:

:heh:

Who said anything about being the first to flip a sample and make a party beat out of it? WTF lol

Niether one of those beats you posted are similar to Just's "Pump It Up/Roc The Mic/Flipside" style. AT ALL.

Thanks for your input tho.

:comeon:

Bink made 1-900-Hustler in 2000
Just started making beats that sound like it starting from 2001 and still hasn't stopped
How can you doubt that Bink inspired him when they were producing for the same artist on the same album, then on the next album dude is sounding like Bink :troll:

His story about the Roc is also true... he didn't stop working with them but the amount of tracks decreased and he didn't get on the big projects
He went from doing multiple Jay joints to a Freeway joint here and there and one track each for Bleek and Young Gunz
