So if you’ve been following the Detroit superstar lately you know that he was “beefin’” with Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon (who must have been too busy Wild’N Out to step on his wife’s track). Well since Nick wasn’t around, and can’t rap, Mariah tapped Gucci Man for her remix. Gucci took this chance [...]

Designed with the modern musician in mind, these two bad boys are convincingly modeled on the AKAI MPC2000XL sampler and the EMU SP1200 drum machine. And by “convincingly modeled” we mean that they look pretty much exact to their original counterparts.
