HA: Kids say the darnedest things….like Polow da Don is a Garageband producer?
MissInfo.tv — I’m not a production-expert, but I get the feeling that the fact that this kid found the Polow Da Don beat for Usher’s “Love in the Club” pre-made on his Mac’s Garageband program…..is not a good look? Correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe alot of producers make magic from those ready-made loops? (And, all those classic “bossa nova” pre-sets on the Casio keyboards have already been sampled, right?)

Polow Da Don’s Apparent GarageBand Beatjack
XXL — Some of these bloggers calling foul on Polow Da Don for essentially jacking a preset from Apple’s Garage Band are total idiots. What’s more, few of them know anything about actually producing, so I just think they should take a seat on the sidelines. Sure, it sounds like he ripped a few loops for the new Usher track “Make Love Up Up In The Club.” Big deal. (I believe Rihanna’s “Umbrella” is a Garageband loop too). The only thing you should be bitching about is the fact that you were sitting at home trying to concoct some Mozart-type melody while your hit record was sitting right on your hard drive. You just had to copy and paste it together. My ...

I Hope Usher Didn't Pay For This Out of His Own Pocket
SOULBOUNCE.COM — Thanks to Mr. Lowe (who pointed to AHM) for bringing this up in the comments yesterday. The enterprising young man in the video that follows demonstrates that Polow Da Don's beat for Usher's "Love in This Club" (just typing that song title sent my side-eye to Mexico) is part of GarageBand software as stock. And is it any wonder? Remove the high-profile names associated with the track and what do you have? I own a nice pale pink button-down that could've come from any designer, but it's only until you look at the tag that you know it's by Sean John. But it's not like Diddy himself sewed the ...

I said it once, i'll say it again...this man is a waste of a good bank account. Turns out the beat that Usher paid hundred of thousands of dollars for could have been made for FREE on a computer program that im sure cost less ...
