1. you know I was going to vote for Dan the Automator

didn't you?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. Course I did - I want to see if anyone on the daytime lounge is a Wu Tang

fan :)

3. I gotta say, RZA put together the best score

for Ghost Dog. Jim Jarmusch introduced him to classical music, specifically Peter and the Wolf, to give him an understanding of theme music carried through a long work.

To date it's my favorite score of the last ten years.

4. I bought the soundtrack before I bought the movie - however the score

is the best and I'd love to get that on disc. Hell I watch it just for the score sometimes - especially the opening theme when the bird is flying over the city. Its incredible.

6. I watch it for the score sometimes too

RZA really captured the rythm of the movie. Plus, it gives me a reason to scream out "Passenger Pigeon!"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. LOL!!!!

That guy was priceless - I love when he died of a heart attack!

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. "It's the fuckin!!!!.... akkkkkkk!

My favorite character was Henry Silva. He understands Ghost Dog from the second he hears about him... when they get the message on the pigeon's leg with the passage from the Hagakure and no one knows what it means he simply says, "It's poetry. The poetry or war."

And the way he stands up and straightens his jacket before Ghost Dog shoots him.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. His expression never changes - I have to say that Jarmusch wrote the hell

out of that movie! And damned if he can't direct people to get the most out of them!

12. The score is limited to Japan...

And I've had no luck finding it on the times I've been over there. I always keep my eyes peeled though, cause that's a beautiful score.

I'm gonna have to check out my DVD when I get home!

[chenGOD]

16. Yes, I'm a very sad person....lol

I've ripped the DVD to my computer and saved just the sound track part.

I will find and buy the damn CD someday though... :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Yo - I'll burn a CD for you and mail it!

[chenGOD]

18. Sorry, I meant the score, not the soundtrack...

I already have the sound track. doh. not thinking properly at all..

Thanks for the offer though.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. I meant the score too - I have the soundtrack as well - but I would

assume that the separate music track is the score otherwise why sell the separate soundtrack. I'll check when I get homw - If its the score I'll burn it for you.

[chenGOD]

24. I can't really ask you to ship to South Korea.

I'm pretty far out of the loop here.

But if you want to.... :evilgrin: I would love to have it.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. Maybe there's an electronic solution

:shrug:

[chenGOD]

26. Oh i'm sure there is...

*cough*soulseek*cough*

[chenGOD]

5. My vote is totally split.

Prince Paul and RZA.

They produce way way different styles, but they are the best.

Honorable mention goes to Eric Sermon (EPMD...damn..and how many great tracks has he produced), and Man Parrish.

more recent producers, EL-P is fantastic as are cLOUDDEAD and RJD2.

But Prince Paul and RZA take em all.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Did you pick up RJD2's album?

[chenGOD]

11. Which one?

Deadringer is great.

Since We Last Spoke is a bit it and miss, but it's pretty damn cool in hat he takes a lot of chances with his music.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. I was speaking of Deadringer - man Ghostwriter is a hell of a track

the rest is incredible too - especially Final Frontier with Blueprint

I downloaded a few tracks from Since We Last Spoke - I enjoy them, I agree though - hit or miss

[chenGOD]

14. Yes, glad you could understand my broken typing..lol

dunno what's wrong with my keyboard (or more likely my fingers)...

20. The Dust Brothers

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. Paul's Boutique - very nice

:thumbsup:

[chenGOD]

23. Hmmm damn, how could I forget them....

I love love love Paul's Boutique. It might be because I don't think of them as hip-hop producers per se, just great musicians/producers all round.

But yes, good call.

[Phillycat]

22. Timbaland, without question.

I wanted to give the nod to Dre, for respect, and I wanted to give the nod to RZA, for innovation, but I have to go with Timbaland because there is simply nobody on the planet who can make a song sound better than Timbaland. Nobody.

[vi5]

27. I chose the automator for versatility....

Anyone who can work with hip hop artists, grindcore artists, and scuzzy indie blues artists definitely has it all.

Although I do enjoy Timbaland's style as well as many of the other dudes mentioned. But all of them with the exception of The Automator tend to go back to the same well too frequently in style and sound. Dan Nakamura doesn't do that which makes him more appealing a producer to me.

28. Blood Cripplow

he did that Puff En Fresh Dough classic " Straight Out Of Westport " and Soup Kitty Kat's " I tripped over my boxer shorts "
