GIANTS FAN CRIES LIKE A FUCKIN' LITTLE GIRL
THIS IS WHY I CAN NEVER LIKE THE GIANTS. WHEN I WAS 13, I WITNESS SOME BULLSHIT LIKE THIS (not as bad though). GET OVER IT. I'M A NINERS AND JETS FAN... YOU WON'T HEAR ME BITCHING.
HIP HOP's GREATEST AREN'T GIVEN A CHANCE TO SPEAK THEIR MIND
BIG L, BIG PUN, AND BIGGIE... THREE OF THE MANY CATS OUT THAT MADE IMPRINTS ON HISTORY HAD THEIR LIVES SHORTENED OVER NON-SENSE. DID ANYONE FIND WHO KILLED PAC? NO!!! BIGGIE? NO!!! WHY IS IT WHEN A HIP HOP ARTIST MAKES AN IMPACT SO EXCLUSIVE, THEY AIN'T HERE NOW? DOES THE 1st AMENDMENT ONLY APPLY TO SOME??? THINK ABOUT IT.

Constant Interview (Feb 2007 MTP Beat Battle Champ)
Meet The Producers - Where are you from?
Constant - I am originally from Willingboro, NJ, but l live upstate NY now.
MTP - When and Why did you start producing?
C - I started producing in 2002. FluiD was producing for a little bit and sent a beat CD to me when I was living in TX. I said to myself, shit, I can do this and better. Being his twin brother, we've always been in close competition with everything we do whether it be music, sports, or whatever.
MTP - What was your first piece of equipment and what do you use now?
C - At first, I started using Fruity Loops like many new beat makers. At that time that's all I was. Then I went to Germany where I became a PRODUCER. I used other folks equipment along with what I added to the studio. Now I use the Motif ES, mixer, Pro Tools, and sometimes FL every now and then. I also create new drum sounds using live instruments.
MTP - How was the German production/Hip Hop scene different from America?
C - The demand for American hip hop in Germany is greater than stateside because they don’t get the quality from their artists as we do on an everyday basis. They do have a few amazing producers in various cities. Fans would repeatedly thirst for more from a couple of my artists. It felt like Jay-Z was coming to town even though we were unknown to the American listeners. Doing a show 2 weeks before I left with Poetry N Motion’s Michael Ameer topped it all. Overall, Germany is a great place to get your start.
MTP - Do you have any professional training in any particular instrument?
C - Yes, on the drums and the clarinet.
MTP - Do you collect records and how do you feel about the diggin culture?
C - I have a few, but I feel having sample free beats shows the more creative side of me.
MTP - What producers do you look up too?
C - Timbaland, Premier, RnR, Tony D, and Marley Marl.
MTP - What’s it like being in a beat battle?
C - MTP was my first battle and with the crowd listening to my beats for the first time, it was a nerve racking experience. I was scared as hell because, I didn't have a clue how it was gonna be run and I wondered "are these folks gonna feel me".
MTP - How can it help a producer?
C - Its a good place and opportunity for people to network, whether you are a producer or an artist. Any event where you can put your music out there to be heard can and will show the producer where he/she is and where they need to be.
MTP - Whats your thoughts on the whole keyboard vs. sample beat discussion?
C - Sampling is the foreground of hip hop instrumentals. The samples producers flip, chop, and cut gives a certain energy and vibe to their mix. Playing out melodies is my thing though. I feel "I created that beat; that's my track... not anyone else's". Most listeners don't care what they hear as long as it sounds good to them. Well, I make music for me first and if other people feelin' it good. I do sample every now and then, but it goes along with my quote... "Creation is inspired by the relic of the innovator's persuasion" -Constant '05
MTP - What is your "dream" keyboard?
C - Yamaha Motif XS 8
MTP - How do you feel about the beats that are used in music today?
C - There are a lot of producers that upstage the common producer. From the music I hear today producers still aren't given their credit they deserve. It's just like hip hop artists though... the best producers aren't mainstream. Take MTP for instance... I heard beats off the folks that didn't make it to the finals like Future, Quest, and Kingshon that are right up there with the best of mainstream.
MTP - What is the worst studio session you have ever been involved with?
C - There was a cat in the hat rapper tryna tell another producer how to do their job. It wasn't my session until I made it a point to let them know, if you don't understand what a producer does, keep your mouth shut. A good session to me requires the artist to have a solid understanding of what the producer does. With a bad producer/artist relationship it makes it harder than it needs to be to create what you want.
MTP - What projects are you currently working with?
C - I'm currently working on Sumecca's album "Sumecca Forever". We have 30 tracks recorded and are going through them to decide which tracks to put on the actual album. I am also working on Volume 5 of my 4 Seasons Mixtape series.
MTP - Whats something the readers may not know about you?
C - Folks come to my myspace page and think I'm from Brooklyn because my screen name is "DBrklyn Studios". It's actually my daughters name... Danisa Brooklyn.
MTP - Whats your contact info?
C - www.myspace.com/dbrklynstudios # (845) 558-6540
MTP - Any last words?
C - GOD, MOMS, my wife, Trevor, the real DBrklyn (my daughter), Sumecca (100 G's), Anon, Doe-Low, FluiD, Tracy Ross... Ya'll made this shit possible!!!
