Learn is so fire, bass line is too smooth.

i cant wait for my vinyl. This s*** is too smooth

niggas mad out here

went on a walk yesterday afternoon to listen to the abum

pure bliss

how does this project hold up to hud dreems?

when u dont quantize and finger play the drums, you can get that dilla groove. well, you still gotta have the ear. but quantizing makes it harder (damn near impossible) to get that groove, unless u go in and manually program the drums after quantizing, for some reason. when u play the sampled drums on a drum pad or something along those lines and dont quantize, the drums wont be perfectly "on the grid." that sloppy feel gives it that human/funky vibe. or atleast thats part 1 of the equation.

dilla actually went in and manually programmed the drums after laying em down un-quantized, like he'd make a kick intentionally ahead of the beat or a snare intentionally behind, for example. it was his ear, mostly.

Okay that makes perfect sense. You think he would utilize the swing function too?

nah dilla didnt use that, or atleast it aint one of his main techniques. he made it swing by hand. he just had an ear for rhythm

Word I’m thinking Knxwledge might do the same thing

Solivelife.. What song is sampled? F*** that s*** is nice

F***ing wild he following in Lil B's footsteps sampling Resident Evil music

But what is that movie sample on Bc Tm_s Not Promised? I remember it being a BET mainstay back in the early 00s. About a girl living in some projects. Forgot the title. Really haven't seen it in almost 20 years.

kids

first song is so good. I remember putting that song in the sample this thread, but never got around to it myself.

Rest of the album is great too, maybe the best standalone knx project. Bttrsktch is up there too

You team up with your NxWorries partner, Anderson .Paak for “itkanbesonice” and you both have hinted at a full-length follow-up. How’s that going?

It’s ill. We work super fast, like we work the same honestly. We just get up whenever we can. I’m a little ways from the studio but when I go over there I stay for a few days and we get a bunch of sh*t done. I don’t know when this year, but we’ll definitely finish it up sometime this year. Got a bunch of sh*t to sort through. Gotta make the storyline and we’re trying to get some features on there too which is why it might take a little bit.
