No four on the floor Hip Hop beats before through the wire? I actually had the argument with older people in the 1990's that Hip Hop was actually not anything different than disco. Push It, It's Like That, You Can't Touch This, Pump up the Jam...
@loyo9771
@loyo9771 Ай бұрын
"Push it", "U cant touch" has no four on the floor-beat. "It's Like That" only in the RMX-Version from House DJ-Jason Nevins. And Technotronics was no HipHop.
@rundajulesproductions7735
@rundajulesproductions7735 Ай бұрын
@@loyo9771 I suppose it is your opinion about Technotronics, but everybody I know that was into Hip-Hop was into that when it dropped. Many late 80's/early 90's Hip-Hop artists had songs that sounded more like House Music. There was a lot of crossover songs before genres were so rigidly defined. Slick Rick's 2nd album, Jungle Brothers' (We're gonna house you), Queen Latifah's first 90's album. I don't think "4 on the floor" means there are no kicks that are syncopated but just that all the 1's have a kick on it. Whether those songs are 4 on the floor, or not, my point was that Manny may have perceived Kanye to be more revolutionary or original than he was because he only had a surface knowledge of the body of work produced by Hip-Hop. Kanye is unique as an artist, and a person, but the things Manny named in this interview saying Kanye was the one that started those things he was mostly wrong about. I like his mixes, though. And Kanye's earlier production work, too, but I don't have much patience for people who use ghostwriters and still act like they are emcees.

For all those people that want to whine about Kanye, how about you focus on what Manny Marroquin is saying instead? He's one of the wisest and most humble guys in the business. And he says things here that transcend music. Personally, I don't get the current tendency to see people as totally bad based on a few actions. It seems like a juvenile and naive view of morality to me. I'm not a fan of things Kanye has said, done, or tweeted either. But that doesn't mean he's not interesting to hear about an artist and a personality. The world just isn't that fucking simple.

While what you're saying is true, the first 7 mins are just hyping a VERY problematic and antisemitic person. Many people including me are just going to turn it off at that point. I resumed a bit later and it was okay, but that first impression is just... I didn't want to be part of that.

Ignoring a problem makes you a part of another problem. You can be indifferent instead of “picking sides”. The word ‘ignore’ stems from ignorance. Imagine if we all ignored Hitler.

There are so many incredible artists, inventors, philosophers who can teach us so much, who have provided us with so much... if all we do is break them down to their flaws, we'd gain nothing.... In regards to Kanye, dude, this song was made in 2007, he wasn't saying the things he did in 2022 back then. Different person and there's nothing wrong with admiring his work.
