I really can't understand why yall be hatin on Musiq so much . whether or not yall think he is ridin the roots or D dosen't make a diference, I think his shit is good . For a first album he did pretty well and musically he is going in the right direction. And for the record he is selling just as well as or better than most of the Okayplayer artist on here. Me being a part of the artsitic comunity I see this as a classic example of how the artistic community often turns it's nose up to anything and anyone who isn't catering to their every whim. If a musician is making music for musicians and artistic people then he better be ready to starve because they will be the first to turn there back on him or her . And if you are cattering to this group than are you really an artist person, because a true artist does what they want. So what Musiq sampled the roots who the hell are you to play judge and jury. I think what he did was well done and in that one song he was giving props to the people who influenced him . and last but not least the shit sounds good and that's all that matters.

15. "wrong..biting is biting"
In response to Reply # 2


          

sorry, i disagree with you.
I'm not critiquing how good the songs "sound" or his lyrical content, but what irks me is his blatant use of other people's musical composition's. There's a difference between being "inspired" by other artist's works and straight jacking the work and layering some vocals over it.
To be inspired is to appreciate what someone has done, and in turn it can influence you in your music. Taking arrangement ideas, rhythms, lyrical delivery, etc..that's cool. But come on man, straight jacking the exact rhythm, beats, and sounds and looping it is not really cool in my books.
Your not any different than some dj who throws an accapella he likes over instrumental beats he enjoys. That technique is what makes mixtapes so popular and also keeps the clubs hopping.
But to do that shit on the scale of a major release to make money and gain appeal?? that ain't cool.
There was another track musiq also did that really irked me. Before people start pitching a fire to burn me, i don't know if this sample came from somewhere else, but there's a sample musiq used that i know was a track Beck had. I heard that Beck track at least 3 years ago. I can't remember the name of the musiq song or the one that Beck did. Either way, that was another Straight jacking of someone else's work.
Musiq might as well call himself "DJ Musiq" and throw shout-outs throughout all the tracks ala DJ Clue style. 'Cause there's no difference between what musiq does in his tracks than DJ Clue. The only difference is that at least DJ Clue isn't perpetrating like he's an "artist".
I'm not out to dissect Musiq per say. I'm saying this in regards to this reoccurring trend amongst hip-hop & r'n'b artist's regurgitating other people's popular material.
Shit, I totally wasn't cool with Erykah using the Beats from a Dr.Dre track. Thing about that was that dre's track was still fresh in people's minds when she dropped it.
So in regards to musiq, once and for all, call a damn spade a spade. Enough with the "angles" of what/who he is respecting.
I'm not hating on all his tracks, just the ones that are obvious
peace

Hey I agree with you on one point , Musiq is not half as artistic as he likes to put him self off as . The LOve video is a little too much for me . I mean why can't he just sing a song and get it over with . Also I think he is trying to hard to be down with the Artistic folks anyway little does he know that being himself is how he can be down. But still the album is good and he did his best and dosen't deserve half the criticism you folks give him. But then again I guess you leave yourself open for criticism when you decide to call yourself Musiq.

So, you're dissing him for doing something that everybody else has been doing for years? Did you think the Roots were bogus for using the same beat that Schooly D used i5 years ago? Or do you justify them just cuz they are the Roots?

47. "Similar but different..."
In response to Reply # 43


          

I'm not exactly sure which track the roots used schooly d's beat from, but i agree with u in one way, and disagree with you in another.
I agree that alot of artists take from other artist's and rehash shit up, sometimes they make things different or unrecognizable.
Everyone is taking something from someone, no one is free of influences. Everything is borrowed or has "interpolations" of (damn i hate that word..) something. Not much is really unique and fresh.
But what i disagree with u on is on the timing of the "biting".
From your message, you said that the roots sampled a schooly d track from 15 years ago. Sampling is sampling, your right. But musiq is biting tracks that were hot like 2 years ago. that's still fresh..
Schooly D's stuff was dated for that time period. So the Roots rehashing it was more of bringing something from the past they liked and working it in to their steelo. The roots & schooly d have no real link when it comes to production sound or technique.
But for musiq, it's different in my opinion.
why? because when your fucking with somebody's sound and not doing just one track, but basing your whole production style exactly like someone else's, then your no better than the dj scenario i pointed out-- Your just riding your vocals over someone else's instrumentals. And mind you, on musiq's cd, it isn't just one track that has "elements" of someone else's tracks. We're talking about almost the whole cd.
But what comes through over and over again is the sound throughout the whole lp--- same sound & style as the soulquarian's shit.
What would you think when you would hear people biting dj premier's sound. A few years back when primo was at the top of his game, a year or so later, you would see so many styles that emulated his sound and production techniques. Is that cool?? no, not really, because someone like me could spot it a mile away and would lose respect for those guy's who did that shit.
So what? those guys should take pride in cracking primo's formula's and saying "hey, look..i know what primo does and can do the same thing.." ---- big deal.
One thing's for sure, there is no shortage of biters in this world. Not just musically, but in every facet. just those type of individuals who don't get the whole notion of what it is to create and shine your own unique voice --to make your own imprint on who you are so others know what your about.
That to me is the esssence.
Musiq may be the coolest guy around, he definitely can sing, the tracks sound really good. there not cheesy. but all this gets defaulted because he didn't bring it on by creating his own unique sound.
i respect your opinion & see your point, but i still disagree.
peace.

told me on Friday that you guys (the Sooulquarians) were supposed to be producing Musiq's next album, as in he's now a part of the Soulquarian extended family. Is that true, or are you just on good terms with Musiq now?

in about 3 weeks....

he'll be outselling us all...(jill too)

so he'd be doing me a favor.

just kidding.

yesterday i paired my "so called" beef to one person.

it aint music.

and it's none of the "vets" of touch of jazz.

however there is one upstart in that camp, who's sound is too fuckin close for comfort.

i wouldn't be half as upset if he wern't explaining his "sound" to some poor soul

"...thanks man, that's my shit....cause all these other cats are programming their drums all strick. so imma stick out and do offbeat shit....that's my thang!"

i burst into room.


silence.


thought so.

39. "A little confused..."
In response to Reply # 38


  

          

Are you saying your so-called "beef" is with Musiq the artist, or a certain producer at ATOJ whose sound, compaired to that of the Soulquarians, is a little too close for comfort? Because the reason I don't listen to Musiq is a combination of both arguments. "L Is Gone" sounds like a baaaaaaad version of Brown Sugar (lyrically), and his song "You Be Alright" sounds like it was based on "Send It On" (sonically).

i co-sign. that name is bullshit. i'll admit i own his cd and everything, but i definitely understand ?uest is being the bigger man on this one. rather than slam his ass, try to help the man out. give him some tips. he's got potential, he just needs to kill the ego, realize he's not the soul messiah, and make some decent music. peace, love, and soul!!!

In response to Reply # 11


          

I've seen a couple interviews of him, and he doesn't seem to be on any 'soul messiah' type thing. in fact, he seems very humble. the only possible ego thing is in the name, and apparently his cats from back home gave him the name and it just kind of stuck.

My criticism is just that the album wasn't too great, not bad, not a stellar debut, but mediocre (that and the beat jacking, which probably wasn't his fault). and that's good considering all the crap that gets released now. His next album will probably be pretty damn good IMO.

1Love,
BigPerm

Bollocks to his next album!? Musiq's people knew the right people, who knew ?uest's people, and now even ?uest has taken a likening to him. He's nothing other than a Crishawn - with people.

Wait a minute - scratch that. Too much sugar. "Damned the cursed colonel and his chicken that makes me crave it fort-nightly!"

Yo I'm sure it's not that deep, in that one song he was paying mad respect to the people who influenced him (D. And the Roots). iT's not like he jacked that track like rappers did james brown back in the day, I am sure the roots are getting there far share of that song.

27. "Check Musiq live"
In response to Reply # 0


          

I was at the Greensboro Badu concert and Musiq live is way better than Musiq's cd. I like most of the cuts on the cd but it seemed a li'more r&b-ish than soulful if that makes any sense. Musiq live is packed wit soul. I never got to see Stevie or Marvin perform, but Musiq says he is following in their footsteps and I think he is doing a good job of it in his performance. He can only get betta workin wit Quest, but dont sleep Jazzy Jeff's camp did a good job on the cd.

28. "MUSIQ'S PRODUCERS......"
In response to Reply # 27


          

But Jazz is not the only producer on the album -

POYSER did 2 tracks & SCRATCH did the intro + "speechless"

From CP:

Musiq actually shines brightest on songs produced by others. James Poyser delivers his faithfully funky organ on the album’s last track "You’re Alright." It immediately conjures up a D’Angelo vibe from Musiq’s vocal stylings to Poyser’s gospel tinged keys. Poyser also coaxes a certain funkiness from the artist on the uptempo track "My Girl."
Human beat-box Scratch, emerging from the legendary Roots crew, tackled production on the album’s intro and the tenth track, "Speechless." Teamed with Roots pal Hub, Scratch melds his vocal scratching and percussion with Musiq’s smooth lyrics. With a definite hip-hop appeal, "Speechless" is one of the album’s only pure head-nodders.

In response to Reply # 33


          

hmmm...I'm saying that from what I know about Stevie and Marvin through their cds and performance on tape, i was gettin alotta good energy. I think that energy woulda been close to the same if I would've had the opportunity to Stevie and Marvin live. I really think that the heavy criticism that Musiq receives is unjust, b/c he is alot better than most. He may not be on a Stevie or D'Angelo level but I can only play Vodoo so many times. I know it is to each his own and to my own I'm feelin Musiq. I think a blasphemy statement would have to involve Tank or Tyrese, but not Musiq.

Peace

I cannot even believe this is a subject, but anyway... I see it like this. Musiq is doing good music. And I am comparing it to what I have to listen to on the radio nowadays, @ least 25 songs being played---CONSTANTLY. Its monotonous. So, I cant hate that Brother for the type of music He is promoting. So, when He comes on the radio, be happy. It could be Destiny's Child.Peace
