2831449, i'm thinking more in line with the people who followed

Check AZ's Aziatic album and most of The Heatmakerz productions.
2831656, Nigga said Heatmakerz was horrible.

I bumped Diplomatic Immunity way more than Blueprint tho.
2831679, Heatmakerz was dope but they definitely got one dimensional

if they left the vocal sample close to normal speed it was cool. RZA used vocal samples too but he rarely sped them up to ridiculous speeds.

Heatmakerz gone wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pyO5ivGrGo

When I first heard Bound 2 off Yeezus I was like "Damn, he tryna bring that chipmunk soul sound back! He must've sped this shit up to 78 to get it to sound like that."

Turns out it was just a straight loop, not sped up or nuthin...

2831555, i love the way the bass guitar sounds when it's sped up.

shit has more groove or something.
2831563, Sadly But Yes It's A Lot Of Up-And-Coming Producers Who Do It
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Mon Aug-12-13 11:10 PM
I don't think many rappers are picking those type of beats anymore but I still hear beats on cloudsound and various other places where a producer will have one or two sped-up/chimpmunk sounding samples in their beats.

I don't think it was ever a bad thing to do it, it just got out of hand cause everyone started to do it and some producers where going too far with how fast/high the pitch of the sample was to the point it was funny instead of listenable.

I used to really dig his stuff especially Personal Legend Vol 1 and a couple of the joints after but his sound is so dated now
