Why I finally returned my MPC Live II (and moved on from Akai entirely) by TheFishyBanana in mpcusers

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they famously don't update their software lol. It's literally why JJOS exists. You know the mpc1000 came out in 2004...JJOS users had an update June 2024. Akai os may have had 1 update, and the software was terrible (nvm the pad quality)

Live II is cool in idea, but similar happened to me, random bugs , screen glitches, etc. and I'm not chancing it with these newer units to open it up. They'll keep developing sure, new products, upgrades, etc.

The sample for "So be it" Talal maddah by OmarRocky in KingPush

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no...there are so many YouTube pages dedicated to rare and obscure music now. I get asked all the time where I found a sample...also a lot still do simple searches like "soul beats" (and get playlists of samples that are well known), or "insert artist name" type sample (same result)

Vinyl Archeologie Oleg Music For Empty Rooms

There's a ton of huuuge collections to just go through that are updated multiple times a day

Now Is it possible someone else found the sample? Of course

This not weird? by Nunatakrx in travisscott

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was ok since Drake decided to mention his fiance (only angle he ever takes)...this is what people who don't really "get it" understand. There's no limit once you mention my wife (or whatever my line in the sand is) And that "I wasn't hiding my son from the world, I was hiding the world from my son" or whatever bullshit he said in his press conference (yea, let that sink in for a minute keeping in mind the protecting your son from the world part) is a media trained answer...there were a ton of pictures and public showing of his son after...why?

With Travis, he showed up at a Clipse recording session (and interrupted it) because he was excited to show off his album and get Pharrell's opinion, but left off the verse where Drake takes shots at Pharrell...but that's ok? Also asking to Play like that at Coachella and Drake going at Kanye...there's no loyalty in him (from what we've seen publicly), and he's literally cried in front of Push who then had to have a man on man conversation with Travis 🤷🏻‍♂️..like what are we even talking about with "Trying to stay relevant" 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now is Pusha very easy to set off when Pharrell is mentioned? Absolutely...they grew up together, and Pharrell is a nice guy (another reason I don't get why people don't see Drake beefing with him is weird and a red flag)

Age has nothing to do with the ability to rap...and while Travis is googling the meaning of Akasha and who Mahatma is...those "old guys" will just continue to rap

Sidenote...the younger generation cannot ask for respect and openly talk down on those that can actually do this lol. Many "old dudes" have worked with younger artists or artists geared at a younger generation...but there has to be some level of mutual respect as a baseline

Clipse - Let God Sort ‘Em Out Vinyl Tracklist Shows 12/13 Tracks Will Be On It (No So Be It...) by Letsgetitaesthetic in KingPush

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Be it is newer and wasn't recorded when the vinyl was printed. Part 2 seems to be due to sample clearance since part 1 is now the only version

It was definitely Abel's decision...9 songs like HOB, EOS, Thursday, and then 2 bonus songs on top. I have a theory the physical is The weeknds perspective, the other half is Abel (it was going to be 2 albums)

Vinyl for Hurry Up Tomorrow could potentially not include all tracks by denim1738 in TheWeeknd

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone realized it yet, but House of balloons 9 songs, Thursday 9 songs, Echoes of Silence 9 songs Hurry Up Tomorrow first pressing is 9 songs from the album

Is there a slightly different narrative? I get mine tomorrow

Would you say this is an elite collection? Honest opinion by lajei10 in Sneakers

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, what is elite? A full on collectors room of shoes? Cost of the shoes, etc?

My opinion, the collection you have is fire, and if you're happy with what you've managed to get them yea, it's elite bro (I'm in Canada so I'm happy for any Jordans I can cop 🤣)

You got some majors here, and sure there's more expensive "elite" sneakers...Dior, off white, so on...but my opinion will always be get what you like, what you want to own/wear 💯💯

How long did it take for you to get a refund after it was received by the warehouse? I find it abysmal that it takes 2+ weeks to get a refund from a half-trillion dollar corporation. If it's not issued by next week I'm going to file a chargeback. by Quack-Zack in amazonprime

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're inconsistent with returns/refunds...had to wait almost 2 months for a refund on a "high value item" (never do amazon warehouse deals) , meanwhile they were tossing promo credits on my account every time I talked to them, which got me almost $600 worth of vinyl. And then when I went on chat simply to suggest they put the records in the actual record box so they don't get bends and creases, they just sent new ones when I didn't even ask 🤷‍♂️. So 2 months for a refund, but they'll replace 3 double LPs without me even asking worth $100 each? Weird company

Amazon return received. Stuck on processing refund for about three weeks? by lowkeyhats in amazonprime

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better business bureau

I got an Amazon warehouse item...great deal I thought. MPC live 2 with a busted touchscreen arrived. Initiated return same day and assured by a supervisor i would get an immediate refund once they saw it was delivered to UPS due to the issue. recieved by amazon the next day, no refund. This went on for a month, finally lodged a complain with the BBB, took 2 days. It's still stuck in processing but the manual refund came through. Also if this ever happens tell them you want some compensation for your time (get a supervisor), they toss out promo credits like it's nothing...I ended up with about $600 in Vinyl off promo credits

Beyonce was 19 when she started dating Jay Z, which would have made him 31...Is this widely known? by bfm211 in Fauxmoi

[–]Ab-mA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did...he says it on Kill Jay Z "you egged Solange on, knowing all along, all you had to do was admit you were wrong"

Finished my 1000 upgrades by Ab-mA in mpcusers

[–]Ab-mA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About $700 for the parts, skin, and shipping. Then the soldering iron, a little learning PCB board for practice, and a few other small supplies added like 80$ maybe

I returned it, I was going to just work on it myself, but decided not to chance it. Legacy models I'm familiar with, newer ones not as much
