Is will.i.am Stealing Bmore Club in Nicki Minaj's "Check It Out"




Yes and No-It is no question that will.i.am is listening to all forms of dance music including Baltimore Club for inspiration but Baltimore Club Music is known to more dirty,raw in my opinion. Just because he uses Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins doesn't mean its a club track. 
I dont think that will.i.am said lets make a "Bmore 
Club beat" when he made Nicki Minaj's new single. But Jermaine Dupri....Shame On You!!!

2010 Best of Baltimore-Best Club Producer

Murder Mark wins 2010 Best of Baltimore Best Club Music Producers as voted by the City Paper.

Murder Mark’s signature sound is an absolutely horrifying buzz of synthesizers—like the sound of club’s youth s
scene attacked by bees—rubbing up against a surprisingly traditionalist sense of sample-chopping and looping. He 
has a wealth of fun increasing the BPMs of the forever-classic “Think” loop (see his club take on “Pretty Boy Swag,” co-produced with DJ K-Spin) or slicing-up the seemingly unsampleable (the busy, goofy beat of “B.M.F” for his Baltimore take on the Rick Ross summer jam), and for much of Ayo Vol. 1, his most recent club mix, Mark tests out a sound that’s almost entirely electronic, informed by skittering techno and the tinny beats of Southern rap as well as traditionalist club.
