[quote="a.D."]A point I haven't seen anybody touch on:

Composers are overrated....

Really?! ay yay yay....

being fussy about what you/other people define you as only makes what you do seem less than credible...

there is a great Thatcher quote that this discussion brings to mind.

'being powerful is the same as being a woman. if you have to tell people you are then you are not.'

i just cant see why is ...

just type normal and i might read that stuff now back to beat YEAH BEATS!

Simon Says: "just be like everyone else and think like everyone else so I keep doing the same old thing"...Thats' what I heard...

Im just sayin that by DEFINITION we are composers and arrangers and for the most part bedroom 'beat makers ...
