I also think its hilarious how they consider half the groups from today hip hop. Its like pop hop more like it. If you can even compare 1 artist today that's in the mainstream to DJ Premier, EPMD, or Jeru the Damaja I would be suprised.

Just a thought.

Pauze

You might want to rethink what qualifies as a "real live pa"...

I obviously don't agree with using full tracks in a live pa but there's a give and take these days with hardware/software and airplanes as well as what you're able to do and what you're willing to do for each gig. And that's what Mr. Advent is doing in that video with his "cheap plastic controller" and dj mixer. but that's another kettle of fish.

i'll agree with you on your hip hop point, it's all too watered down these days. bring back the real shit.
