Hi!

Can someone offer me some pointers on how to recreate the sound at 0:00 - 0:10 using the Arturia Minimoog V?

Many thanks!

I read it in an interview back in the day. Can't find it anymore though.

Made by J Dilla a.k.a. your favorite producer's favorite producer a.k.a. the greatest hiphop producer who ever lived.

I don't see what is special about that sound, could be done in almost any synth, frankly. Actually, it sounds so weak that I doubt it was done on a Minimoog...

Even without that it's not that good of a track. I just thought we'd all grown up and dumped that ridiculous hip hop misogyny that seemed to pervade everything a few years ago.

Indeed, that's one reason I still like to listen to music from the 70s and 80s, when lyrics still made more sense and had a positive or at least constructive message. Any Stevie Wonder or Maze song can be enjoyed by both children and adults, no need to be worried about words or messages...
That whole thug music scene is so ridiculous in my view...

tbh it seems it's an old track, but the best hiphop was politically aware and socially critical and didn't get into the slimier misogyny of gangster and MTV rap - eg Ded Pres 'This is hiphop' says it all.

I love it when people argue with stuff like that as though it's a self-evident truth.

There's a lot of really great 80s and 90s hip hop that lyrically was really interesting, but crap like the original post is just offensive nonsense.

Keep Hoes away from your wives and daughters! Seriously though, while I'm completely mesmerized by J Dilla's beats (especially from the critically acclaimed Fantastic Vol 2) -- him and his team mates in Slum Village wern't exactly Bob Marley with the pen and pad.

That's just what people call him. Take it with a grain of salt, but if you know your hiphop, you'll know that he was the driving force behind names such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Common etc.

And, more recently, the musical revolution known as the "beat generation" (AFTA-1, Flying Lotus etc.) -- see infographic below -- a continuation of the legacy left behind by J Dilla after his death, but without the lyrics.

Because honestly, what's there left to say? You guys mention lyrics from the 80s and 90s. Nowadays though, if the lyrics are good, they're probably just a rehash of something that was already said a long, long time ago.

Also, I must admit that the title "coolest Moog sound ever" was more clickbait than anything else. The coolest Moog sound, in my opinion, is from Dick Hyman's Alfie:

Which, you guessed it, Dilla also made a beat out of:

As always, tips on how to recreate the sound from Hoes would be greatly appreciated.

Erykah Badu was the driving force behind Erykah Badu.
