DITC



Buckwild

Let Me give you some old school Wrap about what these kids should know today.

""""
Not many crews can claim two great producers. Diggin In The Crates have four fully fledged beatmaking legends in one little eight man click. Three of those four producers have done their fair share of rapping over the years (Lord Finesse is a master in both fields), but the fourth man has made beats, simple and plain, for more than a decade without touching a microphone. Perhaps because of this low profile, Buckwild has never go the kind of props that Diamond D and Showbiz get from the thinking Hiphop press.
In my opinion Buckwild has long been both the most reliable AND the most diverse member of the crew when it comes to knocking out a tune. Anyone listening in the early 90s can tell you what a Diamond D track sounds like or what a typical Lord Finessebeat will do, but can you really tell me OC's classic "Times Up" shares much sonically with Black Rob's "Woah"? Like LL says, Idon'thinkso. And he's still doing it! If there is one thing that unites many (not all) Buck produced tracks it's the space. Rarely does he fill a track up to the brim with layered samples when a fresh loop and hard beat will do the job. It's this economy that unites the above tracks.
