Anyone like the new Cam? It was talked about briefly a few weeks ago
(being more on the hip hop side and all). I like it a lot, but one thing
i found a little lame was the stuff he was scratching over top of it
all. I'm pretty sick of all the same samples off of all those DJ
Rectangle and other assorted battle records anyone can get. If you are
making tracks you should be scratchin' on all sorts of stuff you had to
dig for and that hasn't been used a million times. Leave the battle
records to the battle djs. Kid Koala's mixed tape is a perfect example
of heading through uncharted waters...There are exceptions to the rule
of course. You hear the Scratch Pickles use one of those battle records
and they twist that shit around so ass backwards you don't know what's
happening. It seemed to me Cam's stuff got slightly gratuitous at times.
He doesn't seem to have those kind of skills in order to showcase em'.
Don't get me wrong, pick it up, it's fat as hell. I might be biased
cause i practice with those (same samples) records everyday...
Purely my opinion. any opposing?
