Dalek, B L A C K I E, Saul Williams, the Def Jux roster, ffs even The Bomb Squad’s production helped pave the way for a lot of what we describe as the “Yeezus sound,” even before Death Grips was a point of reference.
Huh. Heard of this artist a long while ago, interesting to see this in context w/ Yeezus. I know Fantano and others always pushed the DG influence on that record, but that always felt kinda iffy to me tbh
I was wrong for saying quantizing is like training wheels for beats. That was before I was messing with step sequencers and figuring out hacks for swing. Besides I be hearing stiff beats with the quantize off 😬😬😬
