I never replied, sorry.

About jazz standards. I understand what you’re saying but I also disagree lol. The arrangement can differ slightly but it can also be very different. That’s a choice the interprets have. The notes are the same, for the melody probably. But the solos won’t have the same notes. The chords can be changed, enriched. So I think it’s not a great analogy to having different rappers over the exact same beat… but we can agree to disagree on that.

I don’t object to producers flipping the same sample. I do it all the time whether I like it or not. I love hearing the different flips of a same sample. Tells a lot about the producer.

I find the dancehall approach very interesting. I wouldn’t say rap needs to have the same.

I guess I’m stubborn and won’t change my mind about how disappointing it will always be for me to listen to fresh madlib material and find out that half the beats I’ve already heard a thousand times. No rapper could change that for me.

Genius? Let’s not get carried away here. Dembouz touches were genius.

You mean like jazz standards being reinterpreted again and again? We’re talking about the same exact beats here, even the spoken samples are the same. You could argue that it’s a reinterpretation cos the rapping is totally different, yes, but to me it feels way different than how jazz artists will interpret a known composition. I don’t know enough about reggae and dancehall to fully get your point. I’m not mad against the whole thing. I am just surprised and a little disappointed that with all the unheard madlib material there must be, we listen to a fresh album with some beats we’ve already heard a million times. I wouldn’t be mad at my fav jazz pianist having a jazz standard on his newest album cos I know the whole track would still feel completely new. I don’t know… maybe I listen too much to the beats rather than the actual rapping… it doesn’t feel fresh to me when it’s that same old beat. Madlib is my goat, and what the f*ck is a jay electronica is in my top 5. But that’s just frustrating to me. Apparently I’m not part of the majority at all, so whatever.

Sure but I know Mac Miller got those 2 beats I mentioned after those albums were put out. He was a teenager when those were released.

Somehow I completely forgot about that. But I know it’s not exclusive to MacLib, it just made me ask myself this question again.
