Cleaned up
editI somewhat tried cleaning up the article. I separated the bulk of the article into "career" and added a short biographical section. I also found a few references (btw, i just learned how to do those, so if anyone wants to clean those up, i'd appreciate any advice). Added a link in the external links, and just generally tried to make the whole thing a bit clearer. Hopefully it's a little better now. Shnakepup 05:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Father?
editI saw on P73's website that he and Claudia Deheza have had a child (from the way it's phrased, it seems like their not married). Maybe someone should put that in the article?
- I dunno, I didn't include it because there's no real source for it. I mean, yeah, Herren kinda mentioned it on the P73 website, but that was just on the front page. I haven't seen it anywhere else, like in an interview or something. It can't really be referenced, too, since it's a flash-webpage design and the front page can change. In fact, right now I think it's showing a splash page for Herren's new album for Savath & Savalas.Shnakepup 05:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Prefuse 73 is Hip-Hop
editMany of the tracks Prefuse 73 makes are tracks designed in a way for a rapper to rap over, and on many albums he has guest artist rap on tracks, which is why his music most definately falls under the umbrella of Hip-hop music. Check out Urban Renewal program, it is a definative hip-hop album and Prefuse is featured on it.
New nerdy genre
editAs part of a class project I've been researching 'glitch hop' and I think the music he's producing now as prefuse 73 falls in that catagory. Even as early as "point to B" on his upright vocals album. The latest, security screenings, has a lot of hip hop elements too. If you read the 'about' section of his label eastern developments music you'll see that he was highly influenced by hip hop growing up in atlanta. Also artists like Dabrye, also on his label, are called glitch hop artists even though they say they are simply making hip hop. (this last is from an interview that I can cite if needed).
Hip hop?
editThis man isn't a hip hop producer! Listen to his work!
Listen to Dave's Bonus Beats, and compare to a song by Grandmaster Flash or 50 cent.
It is like comparing classical to jazz.
New to wiki, how do i put a title on my theme of discussio?? anyway: "Herren is particularly known for his unique take on the glitch style, which has attracted both a rock and hip-hop audience. He is frequently criticised by MC's for over-editing or abbreviating their additions, often to the point of incoherence." Any reference? 82.45.183.169 23:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I just merged Prefuse 73 with Scott Herren and wonder whether it's also OK to remove the stub classification?--Amigadave 15:39, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
Named after?
editThis claims he was named after Gil Scott-Heron, which is plausible, but I'm not sure a single paragraph from an archived article is a good enough reference. Any more evidence that this is true? Keith the Koala (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Cartoon Network
editWasn't his music used on Cartoon Network in the late 2000s? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pierce2000 (talk • contribs) 08:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
