His name should be Heat Rock the last 2 yrs!!! But cats will hate cuzz he isn't making songs like his peak of 92-98.
2637357, its official.
Posted by sweeneykovar, Thu Dec-08-11 02:41 PM
the backlash I mean.
2637370, But it's not - cause I was never a Blu fan. Pete is that dude.
Posted by Artful Dodger, Thu Dec-08-11 02:58 PM
I wish Blu the best he just never did it for me.

If I want Nas, I'll listen to Nas. *shrugs*
2637376, He reminds you of Nas?
Posted by CondoM, Thu Dec-08-11 03:06 PM
I've not liked Blu's recent output either, but I think that was a bit harsh. Regardless, I don't hear any similarity to Nas at all.
2638961, you don't hear nas, period.
Posted by k0la, Tue Dec-13-11 01:52 PM
you fool.
2638978, fool? Really? Over a damn hiphop song?
Posted by Artful Dodger, Tue Dec-13-11 02:28 PM
Wow. lol.

Slow down son.
2639079, wasn't trying to be harsh. hard to convey tone on the internets.

2637375, I love these ashy ass Pete Treats-fuck yall
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Thu Dec-08-11 03:06 PM
Blu sounds comfortable over the beat too
that's a nice samp and it flows a little better here than it did when 9th used it
2637403, Pete's always on point. Even when heads shitted on SSII
Posted by Artful Dodger, Thu Dec-08-11 03:58 PM
he had jewels on there, everything he's ever done I co-sign for...even the joints I'm not crazy about have a dope production feel to them and he was a dope part of the Tribe doc - deleted scenes describing groups breaking up.

Blu on the other hand I really don't understand how any of this happened. No, he doesn't sound like Nas to me... often times I can tell that's the area he's shooting for but he's not nearly as well thought out as Nas. Nor as on point.

Posted by CanUooooFeeLiT, Fri Dec-09-11 04:27 AM
Pete is my FAVE producer and I ride for his production more than most but I don't really feel a lot of his MPC programmed drums.

They sound too mechanical to me and lack that swing he has when he samples drums and combines classic drums sounds to make his very own drums.

But I may still like the overall production even though the drum are ehh...esp since he has the illest basslines EVER!!!
2637687, Agreed his SP days were the best.
Posted by Artful Dodger, Fri Dec-09-11 10:32 AM
2637691, im confused aqua
Posted by philpot, Fri Dec-09-11 10:40 AM
hes more heat now than ever but his sp days were his best?

2637694, Pete's MPC shits are dope, no doubt
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Fri Dec-09-11 10:43 AM
but this dude can replicate alien DNA with a SP-12oo
2637835, he's saying dude said Pete has more heat now than ever...
Posted by The Analyst, Fri Dec-09-11 03:07 PM
Then two replies later turned around and said nothing beats his SP days. Makes no sense.
2639102, ^^all fact!
Posted by liveguy, Tue Dec-13-11 10:11 PM
>but this dude can replicate alien DNA with a SP-12oo

his SP shit son's damn near ALL in every way.

He need to take it back to the essence and just stick with what REALLY works.

He been niche for a WHILE now, so might as well.

MP Pete is good, SP Pete is top shelf, slap yo own mama, dope.

good ole day's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33S1VA5JMP8
2638957, "im confused" - this says it all. Should have stopped there.

Seriously.

I'm a grown ass man - I don't like it. Leave it there. I'll be damned if I'm having a skirt argument over Pete Rock tracks.

Grow up.

Get a woman.

Period.

That's all I'm gonna say on the issue.
2639034, lmao @ this clown

2637455, didn't know this was a pete joint...
Posted by KD, Thu Dec-08-11 05:48 PM
9th also used this for the amerie "why don't we fall in love?" remix. that was the first time i heard it.
2637495, I don't know what he's talking about but he sounds good over this.
Posted by micMajestic, Thu Dec-08-11 07:09 PM
I want to like this but I don't know if I do. It seems like he's rambling but I'm listening hard to see if I can find a few lines that grab me.
Ehh, when Ghost did this type of thing I enjoyed it more because he used a lot more imagery. That would hold me over until I was able to understand more and more of his references. I will probably give it another few spins to see if anything sticks.
2637499, did Blu mix this himself to make it sound bad?
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Thu Dec-08-11 07:27 PM
Pete's shit be mixed better than this. Pete's mixing is crisp.
2637503, its a 160kbps mp3 dog
Posted by philpot, Thu Dec-08-11 07:40 PM
and since pete sent beats to blu and this was a rough he tweeted back to pete it seems on a basic level that only some1 who is dumb or tryna be cute abt the played blu mixing criticism would say this dumb shit you said
2637508, RE: its a 160kbps mp3 dog
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Thu Dec-08-11 07:47 PM
my dude i don't be all on twitter and shit following niggas every move. glad that you got the back story and shit. you could've just shared that info instead of being a dickhead but this is OKP so it's expected.
2637513, the back story is on every blog that has the mp3
Posted by philpot, Thu Dec-08-11 07:56 PM
oh and right click on the mp3 and choose "properties" and u can view the bitrate, just a heads up, so sorry for the snark
2637711, a 160 bitrate on a song
Posted by The3rdOne, Fri Dec-09-11 11:08 AM
don't indicate if the track had a bad mix or not, doggie..
2637714, smh
Posted by philpot, Fri Dec-09-11 11:14 AM
but it does indicate that its prolly a shitty sounding mp3 regardless if the mix

point bein, dude jus wanted okcool points for parroting the criticism hes read on here over and over, and had no clue wat he was talkin bout

i mean, u did notice i addressed the mix seperately, no?
2638966, doesnt mean its 'prolly' a shitty sounding mp3 either...
Posted by The3rdOne, Tue Dec-13-11 01:56 PM
Shit..the Elzhi Elmatic mp3's intially came out and they were 128 kbpm. And them shits sounded pretty good to me..and most likely you too.

so what you really saying???

It's not about the post, it's the attitude...Point is, I don't appreciate you coming at me sideways...you talk slick, and your snark is not appreciated...if you come at someone expect a response..I made a post, and you came disrespectful, simple as that, and its nerd like to respond like that when you don't know someone...bitch like...I'm from Syracuse NY, and will be there this summer, feel free to drop your address...any other questions? Oh, and you would not last with me, internet workouts and youtube jiu-jitsu lessons would not be able to handle my black 6'2" 220 frame up in your ass...funny actually, especially when I think of you replying to this on a Friday night...just like the gun made tough guys out of punks, the internet allows geeks to talk shit with no repercussions..funny...

2637688, They probably leaked a poor mix on purpose...
Posted by Artful Dodger, Fri Dec-09-11 10:33 AM
it's the thing to do.. .release the poor mix..
get ppl up on it..
then they'll pay for the mixed version. Hopefully.

Never.

Blu lyrics is okay and the beat sounds like a loop of a Pete Rock beat and not a mixed down version of the original beat, equals bland.
