…and the Dope 45s say..”Make it do what it do…in Blue!!”
I chose blue for its representation of water, flowing water, flowing-winding cold water carving through the rocks…the PETE ROCKS! Water has a tranquility about it that can really put on at ease, and it has the unique ability to conform to any shape and space it interacts with.
Pete Rock, The Money Earnin’ Mt. Vernon beat maker is certainly in my top 10 producers list. Pete’s music reigned in the 90’s with his signature horn treatments and bass heavy arrangements powered by chopped up samples and/or loops. People seem to forget his contribution to hip hop and music abroad. Lastly, he has nothing to prove as far as I’m concerned, simply for the these three reasons: Mecca and Soul Brother album (CLASSIC), Public Enemy “Shut em’ Down” remix and Nas’ “The World is Yours”…
TIMBALAND
March 7, 2008 by edreysmusicBilly Drease says the color is “Pure Red Orange”…
…and the Dope 45s say..”Be adorned, in orange!!”
A portrait of Timbaland for which I selected an orange back drop because orange represents creativity and is supposed to stimulate oxygen to the brain and it positively vibrates the eyes for a good refreshing feeling. Tim is highly creative and always gives me a refreshed feeling.
In my opinion, Timbo is definitely one of the most prolific producers today. He has been able to stand the test of time and has always been able to successfully reinvent himself and his sound. Each time Timbaland releases a project, it is never the same as the last, and for good reason. There are tons of less talented or lazy producers that seem like they wait to see what Timbo is going to do, and eagerly grease their chicken-hawk talons and try to swoop in for a meal. They LOVE biting off this guy. Much respect to Timothy!
