When DJBooth underground favorite Termanology offered his two cents on the state of The Music Industry, rap artists everywhere could relate. For instance, Royce da 5’9 got turned down by his hometown label, Shady, Consequence‘s debut Don’t Quit Your Day Job got little promotion from Sony (he even posted a money-back guarantee), Crooked I was the last artist dropped from the almost-dead Death Row Records, and Akrobatik has never even gotten a taste of the majors. Thus, it makes sense that all of the above have teamed up for a remix, each giving feedback on the industry and all but declaring themselves the last true MCs. Perhaps there will be a mega remix soon; I would bet Saigon might get a call.
Termanology is causing so much commotion in the underground right now that he's has a huge chance of scoring big. From spitting on DJ Premier beats to multiple featured verses on Statik Selektah's underground sensation, Termanology delivering true hip-hop music. I love the original record and this remix is a nice addition to his resume. The Tribe sample is addicting! Be on the lookout for his dude.
Very good remix, love the feel of it. And I definitely agree with TONEChef; it's only a matter of time 'til termanology hits it big with a mainstream track. That being said, this isn't that track.
I like the idea behind the song more now that the other artists in similar situations are attached to the track. This is well done and I like how everyone ripped the beat and added to the theme of the song. Good Track!
Term is the man, everyone knows DJBooth loves this guy! On a side note... if I was A&Ring a mega-remix, I would scoop up <b>Q-Tip</b> (Kamaal never dropped), <b>Papoose</b> (bye bye Jive), <b>Joell Ortiz</b> (told he was too heavy to get signed) and <b>Nicole Wray</b> (too much s**t to type) to sing the hook.
Termanology is my absolute favorite new rapper! I thank Djbooth for introducing me to “The music industry” about a month ago, and the remix is just as good! The 1st verse is Term’s, so there’s no wonder it’s great! CHECK OUT STATIK SELEKTAH’S “SPELL MY NAME RIGHT”, where you can find Termanology heavily featured! It’s a GREAT ALBUM!
Give props to the production, the beat is so smooth I think anybody could spit on it,and it would be halfway decent. That being said, Akrobatic and Termy did this joint good this round. This is the kind of song I want to screw the Sh*t out of (Maybe with a good High Contrast beat on the other spinner). If you spun this track right it could be fire in the underground club scene!
yes! lovin the old school, real hip hop feel. i agree with dj blaze. i like how its a bunch ug artists together makin this track even hotter than it was before.
^^^ Where did you hear that?! L.A. Reid has been anything but supportive on Nas' album title. It's his last LP on Def Jam before his contract ends and he's going out with a bang.
I heard this last week. I know figures are supporting him, like Akon, Alicia, LL Cool & Common, but I heard that Def Jam wanted to drop him. I'm going to check up on the situation again, maybe mine's outdated. I'd let Nas do it, anyways. The dude is a genius. If he has something to say, you know it's worth listening to.
He's not "white" - he's Latino. And when someone says they listen to hiphop but "don't like old school" - I think there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with you!!! ..but that's another topic!!
...Termanology is the man. This remix is dope. The original itself was kool but this puts it on a whole other level. I agree with DJ Z too, I would've scooped up Papoose and Joell Ortiz on this track.
