let's hear your picks:

I could actually see a few of those being pretty cool.

[Auton]

a beck / danger mouse album would be the first beck album i'd refuse to buy

[Jitters]

Lil Wayne - Rick Rubin

If Rick did another heavy metal style beat and Wayne killed it I'd be all ears.

[Lex Diamonds]

2000 Eminem + Mid-90's DJ Premier

[Brother McDuff]

what matchups would you all like yo see? i'm curious.

[DroppinScience]

One that's already happening: Adam Yauch producing (the original classic line-up) Bad Brains. (y)

[Mr Films]

Fiona Apple - Dan the Automator

Beck - Danger Mouse

Ween - The Dust Brothers

Air - Jon Brion

Beastie Boys - Nigel Godrich



I totally dig all those cept the first one.

I would like a Jamie Lidell / Timbaland joint

but that will never happen

[Drederick Tatum]

Peaches/Diplo

[Kid Presentable]

Fabolous and Snoop - Prince Paul

[Auton]

^ that would actually be pretty rad

[Kid Presentable]

^ that would actually be pretty rad
I like it.

[pshabi]

I just hope Doom and Madlib eventually get out the new Madvillain.

[Auton]

so i can talk about how overrated it is (y)

[Kid Presentable]

You don't like Madvillainy?

[Auton]

i think its good, but gets old pretty fast. i thought it was a fine record that didnt deserve everybody blowing their load over it.

[Brother McDuff]

i agree. it was a thoughtful piece of work, though I feel it was quite overrated. maybe it was a little more abstract than my tastes, but damn those guys got skills.

[Kid Presentable]

I see it as having become pretty 'trendy'. Is that fair? I like how the samples are pretty much unusable and madlib crafts something that DOOM still kills. But that's just me.

[MC Moot]

Neil Young by Rick Rubin

Buffalo Daughter by Jungle Bros

Blue Explosion by Bob Rock

Pavement by Thurston Moore

Sly and The Family Stone by George Clinton

[abcdefz]

Sly and The Family Stone by George Clinton




I think Sly's fried for good.

I'd like to see somebody really strong produce Michael Jackson. Maybe Little Steven -- somebody that wouldn't let him over-arrange and oversing shit, be satisfied with half an album's worth of filler... all that crap. Just break it down and make a fucking soul record. (y)

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Beck - Danger Mouse


Holy fuck, this is a good idea.

Quincy wouldn't even touch him anymore.....How bout Phil Spector? He might shoot and kill him,now that's a record I would buy......:D

[Brother McDuff]

a few more:

Radiohead - Brian Eno

Del The Funkee Homosapien - Prince Paul

Peter Gabriel - Rick Rubin

[Kid Presentable]

Del The Funkee Homosapien - Prince Paul


They did a track together on Both Sides of the Brain, and it was terrible.

[Jitters]

Neil Young by Rick Rubin

Sly and The Family Stone by George Clinton

I'd buy those albums in a heartbeat (y)

As for the Micheal Jackson-Phil Spector joint I'd be interested to hear something like that. Spector "over-produces" everything and it would be interesting at the least to hear Jackson sing over it.

bummer. though it doesn't surprise me much. :rolleyes:

[Kid Presentable]

I mean it's not unlistenable, but you wouldn't pick it as a PP beat. Really plain and dull.

[Brother McDuff]

they're both hit or miss, extremely. they've both got some flame material but just as much bullshit as well.


i like the new avatar, kid p, by the way.(y)

I stole it from Lo_Lyfe.

[saz]

dead meadow-david gilmour
bardo pond-roger waters
stone roses (if they ever reform)-glyn johns, george martin
jeff beck-dust brothers, future sound of london, massive attack
m83-brian eno
tom waits-rick rubin

[Brother McDuff]

tom waits-rick rubin

i could truly see that happening. a very noice, not to mention likely combo.(y)

Just go download "Black Pearl" by Sonny Charles and the Checkmates, and you've basically got your wish.

That's a song I'd like to hear Michael cover, but not pumped up. I think the thing he needs is something fairly spare if he wants to make a comeback. He definitely suffers from "more is morer" and should just cut it out.

[abcdefz]

Neil Young by Rick Rubin



I'm curious -- what do you think you'd get that's all that different?




Pavement by Thurston Moore





This is pretty inspired. (y)

[yeahwho]

I love The Thermals, I think Brendan O'Brien would suit them well.

[DIGI]

i like the new avatar, kid p, by the way.(y)


I AIN'T GOIN' TO NO TIGHT ASS COUNTRY CLUB YOU FREAK BITCH!!!!

[Jitters]

Speaking of mothers.... let me give that oatmeal a little brown sugar!

[MC Moot]

Not specifically different,just something akin to "Mirrorball" or "Sleeps With Angels"....just "cleaner"....

[MC Moot]

Damien Marley by Lee Perry.....:D

[abcdefz]

I'd kinda like to hear what would happen if Lindsey Buckingham produced Tom Waits.
