Wow…I love this, she is amazing.

I have not liked any of your video choices… until now, as they were very noise indeed, but thank you for sharing Tool… a more thoughtful and melodic musical prose - MJK once frequented these boards a few years back, so a very apt share for ILP it is.

How to abolish a beat.

^^^ not to be a hater or anything, but just a sensible critic, i’d like to say this. first, the songs were already done at 3.5 minutes. making them 6 minutes long is agonizing unless the instrument section is composite enough to carry and develop it. in this case, it wasn’t. instead what he have is a group of hiphop artists who, because they have very basic skill at playing instruments, believe they can add integrity and novelty to what’s being done by not producing it with an electronic synth instead… which could easily be done given the simplicity of the music. to organize a six piece horn section and two drummers (who are playing what can be played by one drummer alone) is very pretentious unless you’re going to do something remarkable. but nothing remarkable was done… except maybe for repeating the same figures and notes for six minutes straight.

i dunno, it’s just out of place. it is as if cRapping is trespassing into a musical territory where it doesn’t belong, and depreciating the value of our understanding of what can/should be done with such instruments. similar to modern band stage performances where you have eleven musicians on stage posing with an instrument but doing nothing substantial with it. this is the trend today; having the appearance of a musician. consumers are drawn more easily to the product when it looks like something substantial. and this industrial mode of mass music production did not originate accidentally. it results from cheapening quality to increase quantity to increase profitability. first, dumb down the audience so musical formulae can be simplified. next, condition them to expect what is familiar formula and deny what is unique and creative. finally, reproduce and market simplified familiar formula at an extraordinary rate. enter the commodification of music… the age of appearance without depth. (and not just with music).

You’re reading too much into it.

The nice thing about the live band is you notice the rappers swim through the noises. With computrized beats, it’s less noticeable. So this kinda brings out the art of rapping, as different from say reciting poetry.
