El D,

I'm opening a club in Italy this summer. We can fix up some dates.

El D -

1) Will you draw inspiration from Omar Epps' character in Juice?

2) Which 2+2er will be your Turtle?

in order to use soft synths in real time, you need some sort of midi input device. basically you may want some way to actually play all the cool sounds you can get from your computer. a cheap, compact way to do this is a oxygen 8 keyboard.

Diablo,

More Pharell, less Dangermouse.

If you can't sing, you need to practice some awesome adlibs and general dancing so that you can be all up in the videos.

Or you could do whatever DJ Kahled does, 'cause he's in every video yet he doesn't appear to have done much in terms of most of the song production.

Being in the videos is cool, El D could get his dance on. But You don't wanna be the DJ who yells over the entire song and ruins it...I hate those DJ's. I hope you have a better sounding voice than Kay Slay.

The important thing to remember here is that Diablo is basically looking for celeb status and hot ass.

Pharell doesn't get laid because he can sing, he gets laid 'cause he's ALL UP IN THE VIDEOS.

Another angle might be for El D to take his millions and bankroll some MC and end up in the video on some Irv Gotti [censored].

All: Sorry to not be able to respond to everyone. Thanks again for the great comments and info!

Tron: Yes, I am very aware of the difference. Your little comment has you potentially off the list for sneaker/clothing guy. Please note in my OP where I want to MAKE BEATS, PRODUCE, AND BE THE KING OF MASH-UPS. These might not happen in that order.

Naj: Can you say Grey Album? Please take your "suit" talk to some other thread where someone cares.

Dibs: I do not intend to do much singing in my videos. Probably some sampled, synthed up snippets of stuff I say, plus maybe I'll say like "What! What!" and "Awwww, yeah!" and stuff

ads: Word.

CE: Of course, and as for Turtle, that's gonna be a highly sought after role.

I thought you were trying to stay away from a derivative sound.

Yo,

I feel like being the King of Mash-Ups is actually going to directly impede your path to super-celebrity.
