“A-yo my mic is sounding bugged, Bob Power you there...(Yeah)...adjust the bass and treble...make my shit sound clear”. Q tip- The chase part 2/ Midnight Marauders. Much respect to Bob power. A true gem in the recording music industry.

[@RELEASEMANAGER]

Bro, I just watched the atcq documentary and saw an interview with Bob power and remembered that lyric from midnight marauders.

[@Kazsud215]

I knew he looked familiar.

[@CultureKingVisual]

naw, that’s not B+. Striking similar looking tho

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

It's funny that he mentions that things in the studio tend to not be "effective" after midnite. I remember hearing that Dangelo and Bob Power were having "creative differences" and Russell Elevado was called in to finish some of the songs for the Brown Sugar album. He later mixed the all the rest of Dangelo's album's which are amazing but my point was Dangelo was a night owl. He'd wake up at 5PM and be up all nite. His hours were different and he worked mostly after midnite. He also liked to smoke his weed ; ) This may have been one of those differences.

[@donnydarko7624]

I've watched this so many times and when I woke up yesterday and this was on I just let it keep playing. When he gets to talking about politics and the politics and the division between political parties isnt only due to the hubris of one side of it. I kind of got the impression that he was suggesting that the left hasn't done ourselves any favors trying to convince the right that their beliefs are incorrect when the way they try and communicate that message we frequently can be condescending or preachy, and that the closest people off to hearing about your trying to tell them.

Great video-for those interested in D’Angelo or Dilla however, they are only briefly mentioned, so if that’s the content you’re looking for perhaps Quest’s and Russel Elvado’s interviews are more suited to that.

[@kincamell2]

Much Gratitude

[@JunkyardSam]

I love Bob's approach to requiring payment but take it one step further: no payment, no handing over of recorded assets. It's really quite simple --- only in audio would someone be expected to hand over the goods and MAYBE get paid later. Makes no sense. Cash on delivery of recorded assets. Simple. The only reason someone would have a problem with that is if they have no intention of paying you. Get it? Weed out the non-payers instantly with that one simple trick.

[@QUIZFILTER]

Yeah I'd say not simple but more raw & even raw might not be right.... he was an artist with his own unique style.

[@therealliveguy]

i think he just means that Dilla didn’t have a whole lotta elements to his beats. A lot of his beats were like 8-10 tracks max. Kick, Snare, hi-hat, chopped sample and bass. That’s a testament to how great he was. Able to make the best, most classic sounding shit with a couple ingredients. No overthinking.

If he was in a band since like 10, learned stuff and ended up working for his uncle in a studio or a TV set on a weekends and if he did just that and wanted to do just that than he wants to count his carrer since his decision and be proud. It is a certain personality, un common one + we all have unconacious biases as a default.

That guy who was trying to justify pirating music is seriously flawed logistically. By his logic anything that humanity produces is the property of the public and can be taken and consumed the fruit stand metaphor is exactly right if you replace music with a material object it’s a ridiculous concept to believe you have the right to take it but somehow with music it’s acceptable?

[@BabeTheAstrologer]

Interviewer should watch what he eats ffs get a brain.

[@Thisisparadoxalstudios]

A little dishonest to diss on p2p sharing which in fact was shown help the record business and then turn around to admit you "pirated" something to remove the hiss from a sample... I guess that Mr. Power doesn't like it that we can taste the fruit before committing into buying em. Aside, you can't compare a primal need with a secondary need... That's a sophism of a very low degree.

[@MoGratitude]

streaming industry was the radical shift that made Music Business shift, in hindsight it seems obvious so its crazy unforseen it was.

[@Thisisparadoxalstudios]

​@RÉMON Peer to peer sharing isn't illegal in a lot of countries and as I mentioned, it's been shown by studies that it actually helps the music industry by allowing people with no financial means to listen to stuff and thus making them discover artists they would have otherwise never heard of. Also, it's not because you admit you did something that you regret it: there's no actual logic to that.

[@drewharvey495]

Nobody actually believes piracy helped the music business, and everyone who works in the music business saw their sales devastated overnight by Napster. Maybe listen to the people who actually lived through it.

[@Thisisparadoxalstudios]

Your comment is very ill informed. First of all, I'm not nobody and so is Roger Wallis. The "everyone" you are referring to are not the artist, producers and creators behind the music people listen to: they are the bureaucrats who have managed to get control over the product distribution of the art. I'd suggest watching the documentary "TPB AFK" to get a better idea of the true fight behind this polemic.
