    I started with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy because I loved the King Crimson sample flip. Then I went to the beginning and listened in order from there. I loved Yeezus’ sound when it came out (still so). Daft Punk produced 4 tracks on it.

    Also, that’s really cool. I’d love more info about your time the company. What kind of gear, anything.

      I was with Akai from the MPC Renaissance up to MPC Live/X.

      Got to meet Q-Tip when the Ren released, that was probably one of the coolest things that ever happened. Too bad the company is owned by a piece of shit misogynist and Akai’s main idea guy does nothing but rip the rankest farts all day long.

        That is extremely cool. Love Q-Tip and have some AKAI stuff but bought second-hand. I did know about the owner.

          Ok, let me be clearer. He doesn’t know how to sample, his music has always sucked and he’s literally an egomaniac.

          The only reason I bought up DOOM was the last time I said he ripped off king crimson , people said I didn’t understand sampling or hip hop or whatever. But that’s what he did, he took an ill fitting part from a well known song and ruined it.

              I think it’s a waste of time to even try, I had my fill when I was forced to hear his ass during saints row, and when I went outside in the 00s.

              If he wanted people to give his music a fair shake, maybe he shouldn’t have saturation bombed his junk and acted like a literal maniac.
