Used To Be HIPHOP - Planetjazzbass

Hey Pat thanks mate! I guess all those old television sound tracks get imprinted over the years and finally come out years later (albeit warped and twisted) like the effluvia from a slow moving glacier. Second studio sounds cool man you'll have to post some pics, thanks for listening mate, all the best Dave :)

Hey Richie,thanks mate!...I left this piece pretty wide open so vocals could be added later,WordyBum has done some great verses for this track and I'll be uploading it shortly...I'm using a PBass with flatwounds here something I don't often do being more a JBass guy,but when a track needs that full mellow thump flats rule!....Man we have to do a track sometime,unfortunately I think Pat has hung up her singing shoes,but there's plenty of other stuff we can do. lol....thanks again mate..I see your back on the skins with your band now,seriously I don't know anyone who can play guitar,bass and drums separately at a professional level,most drummers I've met can't even read! lol...your an amazing muso! Dave :)

Hi Soundhound,by all means lay some lyrics on it man,thank you for dropping by,HipHop (well what I take for HipHop) is an interesting genre that's for sure...all the best Dave :)

Hey Orlando,thanks mate very much appreciated,thank you for dropping by..all the best Dave :)

Hey Wayne..thanks buddy,the vocal track is nearly completed care of Wordybum (who incidentally is the real deal when it comes to rapping) I'll be posting it shortly,actually that little Dragnet run is exactly the same riff as a Weather Report song I was listening to the other night but with totally different accents and sounds as spacey as hell(can't remember the name of it at the moment though! lol)..I have a feeling I'll be posting quite a few tunes in a quasi HipHop style...cheers mate Dave :)

Hey Ed sorry for the late reply buddy,yeah mate I also like the actual beat side of HipHop and as far as I'm concerned it's all fertile territory rich for exploitation,even as I type the vocal side of this track is nearly finished thanks to Wordybum (who by the way has insane flow and is as sharp as a tack,supreme spit skills in evidence!...hell I'm picking up the lingo (haha)...if you can't beat em join em isn't strictly the case here,I've always liked spoken word material so I guess HipHop qualifies,though shortly I'm going to start messing with different time signatures and we'll see how they like that!..cheers mate..be on your page shortly....Dave :)

Hey man thanks for the listen,any compliment coming from you is very much appreciated!..there's been a sort of osmosis happening to me as far as HipHop is concerned and thanks to dudes such as yourself I'm starting to feel it the way a person should on a musical level..cheers mate Dave

Hey Bear thanks man!good to see you around buddy......I've always liked HipHop drums,well most bass players like a variety of rhythm styles I guess,I have been guilty of being a little caustic towards the urban crowd in the past so while I'm not going over to the dark side(lol)I will be making an attempt to meet them half way musically and adopt a more positive stance,though I'm just an old dog who is pretending to learn new tricks I still have a thing or two up my sleeve! haha...thanks for your endorsement mate it means a lot to me!..all the best my friend..Dave

Thanks man,if you want the track in wav.send me your email and I'll post a download link (90bpm)..glad you liked it man,more to come that's for sure...cheers Dave

Hey thanks man!...much appreciated and glad you liked it..more to come! cheers Dave

Thanks Alex,just turned my hat around to play this(no I didn't!lol)..thanks for the listen mate,glad you enjoyed it,getting more time for my music now so things will be hotting up (even though winter is approaching here)..all the best Dave

Hey 3n0 mate,thanks for the listen,I'm no gangsta more a maverick! haha..cheers man! Dave

Hey Bonez thanks mate!...Love to hear you rap on this man (track is 90bpm) send me your email and I'll send a download link to the track in wav. format.....(or you can send me your vocals and I'll mix them in,whatever suits you)...guys like you and the old school rap crowd showed me the difference between what works and what doesn't..old school rules!..cheers man Dave
