Ciabatta Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I first heard Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth on In Living Color one night. They were performing Straighten It Out and I was really liking it. The song had that jazz-rap element that I find to very appealing and eclectic. So I acquired Straighten It Out and a few other songs and now I'm pretty convinced that Pete Rock is one of the best producers in hip-hop EVER. He just fuses Jazz and Hip-Hop together so smoothly. It's just perfect. C.L. Smooth's delivery and flow is basically decribed by his moniker (Smooth). A lot of their tracks are relaxed and laid back. Anywasy, anyone like or know of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH NO Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Pete Rock is a damn fine producer. Soul Survivor etc. Even 2 was dope, as is most of the stuff over the years. and obviously t.r.o.y is one of the greatest hip tracks ever. rah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Oh yeah. Pete Rock's one of my favourite producers, and his selection of samples is great, he's got a wonderful skill for finding tasteful samples. I enjoy CL Smooth's rapping as well but, that being said, Petestrumentals is my favourite album of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
