To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with the new way of making music.

And its that type of mentality thats ruining the industry.

Technology should only be used as a tool,

not a total compensation for talent.

What people don't know is, in this New Way of making music,

You actually lose your chops and talent then flex them.

I did the Beat making game for a year.

Made a lot of money... (cause there is money to be made in that game)

But in the long run I found out that my musical chops diminished drastically...

I couldn't play as well as I did, before.

Simply because I'd quantize everything, align everything.

And the computer does all the magic.

I could make a Beat in 20 minutes.

But when it comes to performing, and musical chops, I could barely last 2 minutes without making errors

Thats when I knew, I couldn't sacrifice my musicality and chops for money.

Went back through the normal avenues of production.

Simply because there is more outside the box creativity...

But I'm not completely anti Technology,

The key is bridging the gap

Turning the technology back into a tool rather than an compensation for lack of creativity and talent.

Instead of submitting yourself to stock loops, you create your own loops and samples.

Sampling your own music.

Thats something I learned from Prince!

Great lessons learned, man. smile

Woah, slow down there LA. I get that Kanye is a great artist but he CANNOT even touch the genious of Prince. I know that Kanye is a Prince fan, and I wouldn't be surprised that he is an inspiration for him. If Kanye wants to be at least as great as Prince, he's gonna have to work insanely hard, and lose a little attitude.nod

L.A. Reid is joking I hope, because if he's serious he needs to take some Propofol and get some sleep.

LA Reid is delusional and Kanye West is highly overrated, imo.

Yeah it's like "oh you mocked me for liking him but now he's dead it's cool to play him again?" And then they look at you funny when you don't play him. -Timmy on after 6-25 fans
