Kanye West Beat Tape from 2001

Some ppl are making a lot of this tape saying that it is poorly mixed. Maybe, maybe not. but you gotta think that in 2001 he was just getting his feet in the door and prob had so many people and projects to work on that he didn't have time to give the whole beat and proper mix. Really all you need is the vibe of the track and if you think its dope he would prob go in and tweak it later. Really at some point what would be the point in fully polishing a beat that somebody might not pick? Esp when he prob had so much going on at the time. Additionally when an artist picks a beat (and if they have half a brain) they track it out anyway soooooooo things would get touched up there too. Listen and enjoy.

The "This Guy Is Trippin'" Award Goes Too --- Araab Musik

Check the Interview



Dipset's 3rd string (that's right I said it) producer Araab Musik is apparently known for his impressive (yet uninspiring) movements on the MPC (midi production center). He basically does it like a drummer doing a solo but only he uses the sampling machine.

He is now claiming that Kanye "stole" his style during the VMA's when he used the MPC during his performance???!!! Que? This claim has me and a lot of other ppl baffled. Kanye was not merely banging on the MPC making garage band sounds. He performed his song on his MPC that HE created it with.

That's like saying Travis Barker stole ?uestlove's style because he is a drummer with a unique hairstyle. Or saying Brittney Spear's stole Madonna's style because she sold sexuality.

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT!

Homeboy is tired of cashing them Dipset checks and wants some other paper. I hear you but this is the wrong kind of attention and its based off of foolishness. Plus the VMA's was all the way in the Summer...why did it take this long for dude to speak up??? Cause somebody is gassing homeboy up. Too bad his beats are wack maybe he coulda made a come up.

Thief's Theme

I was listening to Shaka Pitts' radio show recently and the issue of a local "producer" who stole a beat from the site JamGlue came up. He was quoted saying that he "only stole one." Damn son, that's one too many! So I'm thinking how many other yo's are out there stealing beats and passing them off as theirs?? I know my homegirl found out her boyfriend didn't actually make a lot of beats that he said he did and on WorldStar there is at least one disgruntled producer once a month that says somebody stole a beat from them. Don't get me wrong we come from a culture and a society of taking shit but somebodies whole work and creative property...that's over the line. Maybe take a drum....of course we sample....but the whole beat and try to pass it off as your own...YOU FAIL! Hand in your beat making badge, clean out your locker, you're done!

THANK YOU, MANAGEMENT
