sketchup is cool.. its not as detail oriented as AutoCad or Inventor… the new software Revit is BANANAS though… You workin with sketchup?

So I guess most dudes from nahright only like 90’s sounding rap with street “bars” or hipster dudes with back pack bars

^ what else is out there? wheres the middle road.

oh shit…

Revit >>>

its a lot less hassle to extract drawings and details using Revit, as opposed to Rhino which is what i’m most accustomed to.

You know that shit is false.

Niggas get hype off that bamma shit and then go smoke one and get emo with MOTM.

You can’t put people’s tastes in a box like that.

Maybe some people but not all.

well im biased.. and i work with autocad. if you’re trying to do simple things around the crib.. sketchup works great… autocad is more for industrial type shit.. revit is more for building anything from your 2 bedroom apartments to the skyscrappers…

its all a learning curve.. sketchup is great for starting out…

*Stops lurking to post comment*

FTR Man On the Moon is only praised by people who barely started using the word hipster in 2009. Pitchfork gave Cudi the middle finger and put his album cover as one of the worst of 2009. Pitchfork reviews the indie, creative, and even hardcore artists which are followed by the people who are really hipsters but don’t like when you call them that.

Ratatat instrumentals and MGMT album > Cudi

The MOTM album was ok but nothing new. Just new to people who haven’t tried indie until it became the cool thing to follow.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I get my music from a buncha places, not just Nah. Nah usually pushes East Coast centric music (although Freddie Gibbs & Pill have gotten love round here recently).

I listen to alot of different shit and the internet gives me access to music I’d never hear otherwise. Why not take advantage of it?

@cOLD

to learn autocad under a professor or instuction it doesnt take but a few weeks to get the basic concepts…

revit takes about a year maybe less

i’ve been working with every version of inventor and autocad now for about 4 years… same shit new buttons…

your local colleges should be able to give you classes.. cheap ones if thats what youre after…

CAD drafters seem to be in high demand.. not sure how much they make though

here at the college we teach associate degree level shit.. 2 years and youre certified…

4 year degrees require ALOT of work.. and math and science play a huge part.. i would recommend going this route only if you know you’re gonna have a job when youre finished.. i know too many architects with no jobs…

personally i wish i had gone the engineer route… my friend from way back is cakin right now..

One of the biggest myths that I exposed a couple years ago…Lupe style is nothing like Tribe….dude just has a mellow steez that reminds people of him…but other than that they are nothing a like.

Lupe was liked by the streets as well…and that was the ONE dude who the streets fucked with that was a lyrical skateboarder/geek….but lupe also had street in his style too..

Also if you were to ask somebody when they first heard Lupe they would say on Touch the Sky.

I’m just saying, how do you go from exec producing his debut to never mentioned in the same sentence as dude again? And aside from his verse, what was Jay’s actual input? If I were to guess, I’d say it was very little.

Jay tried to get in on the ground floor with an artist who he felt was gonna change the game. He’s done it his entire career.

All I said was Jay’s cosign of Lupe opened the door for geeks and herbs…
====================================
Kanye was a geek/herb before a nigga thought of Lupe.

Actually Kanye wasn’t a geek/herb type rapper….He was just a non-street wanna be fly rapper…but his beats was so ferocious…niggas couldn’t deny it…

People from all walks fucked with kanye west…cause of his messages

But I need to hear actual music. Kanye & Pharrell really brought Lupe out.

If Jay was so instrumental in his career, why is he no longer in the picture?

>> I think you’re wrong on this one Amp. Jay co-signed Lupe before ye ever though of doing a track with him. I know you don’t fuck with Hov but dude Executive Produced Lupe’s first album. Only reason hov ain’t in the picture now was ‘cos Lupe turnt down a roc-a-fella deal waay before anyone knew who he was. These are his own words.

Oh and kanye stole ‘diamonds are forever from Lupe, then put him on the remix like he was looking out when the record was originally Lupe’s..

Look it up if you dn’t believe me.

plus kanye west was just an offshoot of timbo, swizz beats, missy, pete rock, rza and Dr. Dre….

Producers who were good/great that just happened to rap…Kanye west was nothing new under the sun…

Lupe more than kanye revolutionized a whole new era..

Homeboy didn’t realize that Mos was being serious for a second.

Like he kept on acting a fool neglecting the fact that this dude was being honest about not getting support for his music.
