Dream, Fulfilled
Danny!'s second instrumental hip hop album, ''Dream, Fulfilled'', was released on April 23, 2007 (see 2007 in music) under the American rapper/producer's 1911 Music/Badenov Records imprint. The record is a sequel to Danny's 2006 instrumental album '' Dream, Interrupted'' and, like its predecessor, was initially released under Danny's birth name ( Daniel Swain) solely in the United Kingdom for reasons still undetermined. The album cover, as well as the tray card and artwork contained within the liner notes, features various photographs of Ugandan youth. Overview ''Dream, Fulfilled'', like ''Dream, Interrupted'' before it, begins with an excerpt from "Cry Of A Dreamer" by The Sylvers. The album's tagline -- "23 years. 23 ''more'' beats. One man. One hour. One destiny."—also bears similarities to that of ''Dream, Interrupted''. The tagline is once again misleading as "Intro" is not an instrumental, giving ''Dream, Fulfilled'' a total of 22 full-fledged beats. Danny has long ...

Instrumental Hip Hop
Hip hop production is the creation of hip hop music in a recording studio. While the term encompasses all aspects of hip hop music creation, including recording the rapping of an MC, a turntablist or DJ providing a beat, playing samples and "scratching" using record players and the creation of a rhythmic backing track, using a drum machine or sequencer, it is most commonly used to refer to recording the instrumental, non-lyrical and non-vocal aspects of hip hop. Music production Hip hop producers may be credited as the record producer or songwriter; they may also supervise recording sessions. Hip hop instrumentals are colloquially referred to as beats or musical compositions, while the composer is called either a programmer, songwriter or beat maker.

Diddy is an example of one, and they are ultimately responsible for the fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dream, Extinguished
''Dream, Extinguished'' is an instrumental hip hop album by American producer/rapper Danny! It is the third and allegedly final installment in Danny's famed ''Dream...'' instrumental series and, like its predecessors, bears Danny's anthroponym on its cover—an ominous all-black sleeve—rather than his stage name in an effort to distinguish himself from Daniel Swain the record producer and Danny!, his rapper alter ego. Originally intended for an April release, ''Dream, Extinguished''s date was moved forward to January 29 to compensate for the unforeseen delay of '' And I Love H.E.R.'', his fifth studio album. Unlike the first two entries in the ''Dream...'' trilogy, a promotional tagline for ''Dream, Extinguished'' does not exist. Cancellation and subsequent release A mere day before it was set to be released to the market in 2008, ''Dream, Extinguished'' was withdrawn by Danny himself, much to the surprise of anticipating fans. For reasons unknown Danny abandoned the entir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Originality is the aspect of created or invented works that distinguish them from reproductions, clones, forgeries, or substantially derivative works. The modern idea of originality is according to some scholars tied to Romanticism, by a notion that is often called romantic originality.Smith (1924)Waterhouse (1926)Macfarlane (2007) The validity of "originality" as an operational concept has been questioned. For example, there is no clear boundary between "derivative" and "inspired by" or "in the tradition of." The concept of originality is both culturally and historically contingent. For example, unattributed reiteration of a published text in one culture might be considered plagiarism but in another culture might be regarded as a convention of veneration. At the time of Shakespeare, it was more common to appreciate the similarity with an admired classical work, and Shakespeare himself avoided "unnecessary invention".Royal Shakespeare Company (2007) ''The RSC Shakespeare - Wil ...

Disco Music
Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States' urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, brass and horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars. Disco started as a mixture of music from venues popular with Italian Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans and Black Americans "'Broadly speaking, the typical New York discothèque DJ is young (between 18 and 30) and Italian,' journalist Vince Lettie declared in 1975. ..Remarkably, almost all of the important early DJs were of Italian extraction .. Italian Americans have played a significant role in America's dance music culture .. While Italian Americans mostly from Brooklyn largely created disco from scratch .." in Philadelphia and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Bossa Nova
Bossa nova () is a style of samba developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is mainly characterized by a "different beat" that altered the harmonies with the introduction of unconventional chords and an innovative syncopation of traditional samba from a single rhythmic division. The "bossa nova beat" is characteristic of a samba style and not of an autonomous genre. According to the Brazilian journalist Ruy Castro, the bossa beat – which was created by the drummer Milton Banana – was "an extreme simplification of the beat of the samba school", as if all instruments had been removed and only the tamborim had been preserved. In line with this thesis, musicians such as Baden Powell (guitarist), Baden Powell, Roberto Menescal, and Ronaldo Bôscoli also claim that this beat is related to the tamborim of the samba school. One of the major innovations of bossa nova was the way to synthesize the rhythm of samba on the classical guitar. According to mu ...

The College Kicked-Out
''The College Kicked-Out'' is the debut album from American rapper/producer Danny! Originally slated for an October 12 release date, ''The College Kicked-Out'' finally saw the light of day on November 2 after being delayed by bootlegging. Overview Both the album's cover art and title are a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 2003 grade-altering controversy at Claflin University that resulted in Danny! being accused of not only orchestrating the entire operation, but of accumulating a substantial amount of money from tampering with the institution's academic records; Danny! was subsequently expelled. ''The College Kicked-Out'' was just twelve days shy of being released an approximate year after Danny!'s expulsion from the university. Contrary to the title, the album never actually gives any insight to the events leading up to Danny!'s expulsion from Claflin; rather, ''The College Kicked-Out'' is, at face value, a formulaic hip-hop record (Danny! slyly references such a formula a ...
