Alzado Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i just acquired about 100 kanye instrumentals on mp3. i've always thought he was a pretty creative producer, a bit different from most of the mainstream. listening to them now, i think that's occassionally true, but more often he's more average than I had thought. though there are some standouts. I love "Champions". one thing i never noticed before: at least 90% of his tracks, whether his own or productions for others, contain what sounds like a sped up sample of a jet plane landing or taking off usually within the first 15 seconds of the track. sort of like a signature that this is a kanye joint. kind of a cool idea.

colunga Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You sure it isnt just like a mixtape audio tag or something? Personally I love his production style. It isnt always great but it has warranted me seeking out his instrumentals and pumping those more than the real tracks ("good life" "Whole City Behind Us" come to mind) what specific tracks are you talking about? I think I know what you're talking about and the reason I suggest that the sound may be added is because some of the tracks have versions without the airplane sound.

Guest Greg Reason Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 What a train wreck of a thread. Complete and utter ignorance abounds. Kanye may not be the most eloquently spoken character around but he is incredibly good at what he does. He's easily the best of the "super producer" folk (Will.i.am, Pharrell, Timbaland etc) and his work shows extreme mastery over aesthetics. 808s and Heartbreak is a fucking unbelievably good album which often sounds like Peter Gabriel. None of his contemporaries would have the gall to release a record like that. Plus his live shows are incredible. Chances are good that none of the people who are happy to give him shit on this board have been to one of his concerts. He put on a better show in every way than a good seventy five percent of artists I've seen and I've been to hundreds of shows. Everything was perfect. Gigantic band that played numerous instruments - four drummers at one point! - gorgeous projection show, immaculate lighting by Daft Punk's crew, perfect mix.... It was a hell of a show.

And his production pwns Timbaland and Will.i.am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I've enjoyed what productions I've heard. And even though he is highly egotistical, I think that hating him because of that puts you on the same level as all those retards who thought that the Taylor Swift thing was the end of the world. Jesus fucking Christ, its an award ceremony. You know, where the most arrogant, self obsessed pop musicians go to circle jerk over thir own greatness. And to think that participating in this is some shit American country singer's given right is stupid. And I can thank Kanye for showing us how stupid it really is. Honestly, he's no more egotistical than any other pop musician. Difference is, he can compose music and produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
