Now I know these photos are saddening and hard to look at for some, as they were to us here at Coldtwelvers. But we had to show the reality that takes place in some countries. What these guys dont realize is that now, by breaking these bottles of alcohol, is that they aint gettin laid tonight. How else do they think their wives/hookers are able to stand a night of romance with these studs?And for this, I will be drinking something cold during my lunch break today.

Beat Tips- The Drawbacks of Technology in Beatmaking

2011-07-13T10:08:00.000-07:00

Came across a good read over at www.beattips.com
These cats really know whats up when it comes to this thing we do and strive to improve on everyday. BEAT PRODUCTION. More of my own opinion later. For now, peep this.

How an Over Reliance on, and Over Use of, Technology in Beatmaking Might Affect the Beatmaking Tradition Long-Term
By AMIR SAID (SA'ID)

For beatmakers in particular, there’s really no way around technology. It demands our attention, because it is the mechanical conduit through which we make our music; and it is the vessel that we use to explore and export the junction of our creativity and imagination as well as our music interests and cultural sensitivities. Moreover, technology dictates the means through which we are able to share our music with others. But considering what the beatmaking and hip hop/rap music traditions are, have been, and may one day be, are there any clear “good” and “bad” uses of technology in beatmaking? More importantly, what are some of the drawbacks of an over reliance on, and over use of, technology in beatmaking?

I’m not sure if there are any obvious “good” and “bad” uses of technology in beatmaking, but I do have my ideas about when technology in beatmaking is at it’s best and when it is at its worst. I believe technology is at it’s best in beatmaking when beatmakers use it thoughtfully, as a practical tool and as an enabler of creativity, imagination, and originality. However, I believe technology is at it’s worst in beatmaking when beatmakers use it as a crutch—with little thought for practicality, creativity, or originality—, or as an excuse to abandon some of the fundamental aesthetics of the beatmaking and hip hop/rap music traditions.

Elzhi- Elmatic Previews

2011-05-10T07:36:00.000-07:00

Today is the release of Elmatic. The long awaited homage album from Elzhi. I admit, I'm pretty pumped for this, being a long time Nas and Elzhi fan. Ever since I first heard Elzhi I was amazed. His bar structure, flow patterns and word play is just crazy. So if anybody was gonna re-create Nas' classic, Elzhi is the one. I admit that Fashawn gave a nice try and is a dope MC, but I dont think its nowhere near what we are about to hear from Elzhi today. The whole Will Sessions collabo added that extra spice to the project. Its also nice to see Elzhi embark on his solo career. He definitely added the flavor needed to keep SV going and I believe they wouldnt have been able to survive the legacy without him. But now that SV is in the past (sadly) he'll be able to show what he's really capable of, as he did with The Preface with Black Milk. As far as Elmatic, we now wait a few more hours. And in case you didn't know, he's even giving it away for free download. So go cop it at elzhi.com when it drops. 1pm ET or 10am PT. Hip Hop is still alive peoples.

Raphael Saadiq- "Stone Rollin" Video

Always been a fan of Raphael Saadiq. My favorite album has got to be Instant Vintage. Then he dropped "The Way I See It" and it had that Motown sound to it, which blew me away. I can't wait for the new LP!
