BEST KEPT SECRET, not Best Foot Forward.

Hooray!

I still think "Best Kept Secret" was better. Diamond D > DJ Shadow.

I would go for it, but I only have one worthy track at the moment. Later, perhaps.

in the end it doesnt matter... a dope beat made with a reissue on a cd is still a dope beat What's interesting is that the majority of the cats interviewed in this book (which included Jake One, Domino from Hiero, others I can't remember right now) expressed the EXACT same sentiment. Everyone was l...

Wow, who knew you guys would be so damn touchy about this?

From the way people are reacting, I must've done a bad job of describing it. It's not some prescriptive manual where the author is telling you "this is how you must make beats". Instead, he interviews a bunch of producers in attempt to find out WHY certain rules are present (by a kind of unspoken co...

Cool idea.

I got it out of my school library, I didn't pay for it either.

These are both ill. Nice work.

I'm like 3/4 of the way through this book, and it's pretty dope. It's not a how-to guide to making beats; instead, the author delves into a lot of the aesthetic and ethical rules within the producing community, like using live instruments, what you can and can't sample, chopping vs. looping etc. If ...

Any chance of you uploading this?

I like both tracks a lot, but the concept of 'The Watch' is so hilarious, I have to go with Tony Starks.

Damn, I didn't think Pete Rock would be so far behind Primo and RZA.

Hehe, good looking. 8)

Living Proof is my favorite. I don't know how NY State of Mind is winning by such a large margin (if it was best Primo-produced song, sure - but BEAT?).

Shit, I thought this said "beat," not "track." I would definitely change my vote... oh well.

Ironman sip rum out of Stanley Cups.

Damn, this is tough... if the Elevators remix was on there, I think that woulda taken it, but as it is, I'mma go with Soul on Ice. Edit: Wow, I know a lot of people here have an Illmatic worship shrine in their bedrooms, but I never expected Nas to be winning this with TWICE as many votes as the run...

Four-way tie(!) right now, more people need to vote.
