Former Roc Producer Bink! Calls Out Just Blaze 
Tue, Apr 7
For biting his style
Via HipHopUpdate
Seems like everybody wants to take a crack at Just Blaze lately. Here, producer Bink! speaks on his former situation with Roc-a-Fella/Jay-Z and how Just Blaze bit his style. Bink! is the producer of various tracks from artists like Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel and The Lost Boyz.
Apparently, this is some sort of French hip hop site, but the interview has been translated in to English. Here’s the excerpt where he speaks on Just Blaze:
A: Back in 2000, Jay-Z dropped “The Dynasty”, an album that introduced your talent alongside those of Just Blaze and Kanye West. How come we didn’t find you on every Jay albums after that?
B: I did “The Blueprint” which was right after that but I kind of shadow away from the whole Roc-A-Fella scene because I was actually mimicked by somebody within the camp. It doesn’t feel right with me just because I’m from the old school and taking somebody else sound or style or whatever which was called “biting” back in the day is real personal. In the new school, there’s no such thing as “biting”, it’s about getting a check. That’s what I hate about the game. The whole creative side is not here anymore. There’s not a lot of people who make you want to go home and turn your machine on when you have listened to their music. A lot of people that you hear out here, you are thinking that you are hearing one person and it is somebody totally different and it’s OK. Back in the day, people used to get shot and beat up over stuff like that.
A: Who was biting your style?
B: I mean, that’s obvious, you can tell me that!
A: I would say…Just Blaze?
B: Of course! You are the type of guy that pays attention to details. The average fan or the average consumer, they don’t really care about who got what from who. That’s not their concern. If the record is hot, it’s all they care about. But if you are a fan of music, and you have really followed the game, then you know what I brought to the game and what people borrowed from me since I came in.
The crazy thing is that I used to be cool with the guy. Just Blaze and me were cool at one time doing the whole “Dynasty” and “Blueprint”. Once it got to the point where he was taking what I was doing, it doesn’t fit right with me. He ended up signing to Gee Roberson and Hip-Hop who were A&Rs for Roc-A-Fella. Once I wasn’t really feeling what was going on, they kind of let me behind and I pursued my career in other places.
A: So you ‘re any longer cool with Just Blaze, right?
B: We definitely don’t talk [laughs]. But when I first met the guy, he sounded like Swizz Beatz! That’s the irony to the story. He’s the only guy that I’ve heard in the game taking from so many producers. He’s starting to come to his own now a little bit but even now he’s more sounding like a Toomp or a Drumma Boy. He does what’s hot and that’s the part of the game that I told you I don’t agree with. I’m not going to do something because everybody else is doing it. He’s infamous for borrowing from people, that’s his M.O.. He’s a talented guy, I might say but he hasn’t brought anything to the game that he has come up with. That’s the only thing he’s missing: his own sound.
