Contradictory new HH listing
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 3:30 pm
Fwiw. Another pretty contradictory listing. I know i should use my time more wisely 
but it's just that it becomes harder to submit to these listings if the descriptions are not matching the references.
Key ingredients:
"no loops"
"tracks must develop - no stagnant, looped beats"
and, as always of course, "no samples".
Of 3 reference songs 1 consists almost entirely of samples (Otis - pretty much an Otis Redding remix/cover song) and 1 doesn't develop at all AND is heavily leaning on samples (I Wanna Rock - same 1 bar sampled loop, except for chorus where just drumloop remains and a vocal sample is added. Both samples from hip-hop classic It Takes Two by Rob Base). So, only 1 out of 3 ( Clique) fits the bill. And yes, from that song I understand what this client probably wants. But still.
Any thoughts?

NEW LISTING -- HEAD-BOBBIN' HIP HOP INSTRUMENTALS (BEATS) in the style of "Clique" and "Otis" by Kanye West, "I Wanna Rock" by Snoop Dogg, etc., are needed by a TOP-SHELF Producer heading into the studio with a female Hip Hop Artist. QUOTING THE SOURCE: "The direction of this artist is a female Jay Z, so the production and direction of the tracks need to be competitive enough to work for an artist like him. Beats must be flipped creatively with no loops. Tracks need to have some bang. If it's not head bobbin it won't work. This artist has a lot of swag and she's confident, cocky, with lots of personality, so the tracks and production should showcase that character." Be sure the instrumentals you submit are DRIVING and UPBEAT similar to the referenced tracks. Your tracks MUST develop -- NO stagnant, looped beats. NO SAMPLES of other artists' work -- ORIGINAL material ONLY. DOWN-to-MIDTEMPO Instrumentals ONLY.
