if you as a dj are pure of heart you can mix 2 out of key songs together and they'll still sound good. if they sound bad you have some evil in you and just need to work on yourself a little more.

tbf sampling technology wasn’t quite there yet. but his first records were in the disco era and he didn’t do replays. then he consciously decided to use synths and drum machines on Run DMC’s debut. single-handedly changed the entire sound of rap music

Love that Dr. Dre’s comments are shining a light on Larry Smith. An important thing to remember: Smith didn’t really sample. All those classic beats: Rock Box, Friends, It’s Like That, 5 Mins Of Funk, Sucker MCs, Freaks Come Out At Night, Can You Feel It, etc. are original.

Today makes 15 years since we lost Money Earnin’ Mount Vernon’s finest Heavy D. Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Boy is his presence missed dearly.

I think the internet has made people deeply uncomfortable with the idea of being ordinary, and I think being ordinary is one of the greatest privileges of being alive.
