Black innovation?

big in the world? does ANYone else use squeezy cheeze?

[The Chase]

theres probably some mad underground shit going on right now in brazil and india and who knows where else and none of us have a clue about it

most of the worlds music doesnt even get recorded

i know where... you were close when you said india but it will take someone American to big it up. blow it up and make it a household word and sound.

i have heard the future and will have it on my pop album

so whats so new about it?
are they using a square wave instead of a sawtooth?
why the secrecy?

Cause works in progress often require them. And I hope that it might even become bigger than music. It will be a whole vibe, style, outlook.

cool lady j, i will wait for your album..youre probably right about the americans, theyre the only ones with the media muscle to blow things up worldwide

some indian rhythms go really well with bashment without sounding forced

. For someone who has been to the land of smiles you sure are wearing the frown.

yu may wanna look around,theres f**k all to smile about

Just out of interest LJ (since I forgot to ask in the relevant thread), you mentioned the other day you were going to be producing a girl you predict will blow up in America. Would that be Lady Sov?

i saw her at cargo a few weeks ago, cute but a little too masculine and way too local to blow up in the states. i think she might be alright but that wasnt the right venue for her

Sad but true. I dont like it anymore than any one else but it is the current state of things. The Americanization of the world radio and stuff is not in my opinion a good thing but it makes for one stop shopping when distributing music.

some indian rhythms go really well with dancehall without sounding forced

Yeah you know why that is right?

She was a bit too local to blow up here in the UK, to be honest. She had pretty much unanimously positive reviews, but very little exposure. Only heard bits and pieces myself, but what I heard sounded fairly original.

I've heard a lot of BS in my day, but this just blew me away. Who does an analysis on the intelligence of song writing. That sounds like some Nazi BS... It all comes down to numbers. Who sells the most records? It seems to me like people of all colors love that "just do it" music. Intellectual Music...

[intel]

isn't Techno just a modernized version of Native American chants? drum on the fours and some minimal wailing. and they danced to it!

doesn't seem too stylistically innovative to me.

And there I was, just the other day, thinking that I needed to make music that sounded good.

I agree...BUT the flip side is that in the US were starting to see a renaissance of "regional music" IMO.

Look at Boom Bip and Rjd2...both from the midwest, both doing this really organic electronic/hip hop/folksy kinda stuff. Look at hollertronix, baltimore club music.....not to mention the mainstream stuff like dirty south.
