So i decided to buy this MPC1k,stand and all...and just dove into it with this dope french sample i just dug up...pretty simple beat

not bad. i like its simplicity, i need to work on more simple shit myself.

this joint has like a gutter almost late 90's NY sound to it on that first sequence but its also mad spacey at the same time as it goes on, pretty dope joint

and on the topic of simplicity, yes, simple can be really good...especially if you are making beats for the purpose of rapping, I think sometimes cats get caught up in the beat tape style with a bunch of switches and effects when in reality most emcees want a dope rhythm and vibe to rock with it and all that shit can throw off the flow of a track, imo of course...the SP with all of its awesome efx and features can lead to beats that aren't very useful for rapping

^Cosign that...sp to me is like freestyle and can be mad creative takin beats to different realms...where as the mpc, imo, is a more disicplined and rigid forcing me to think about rappers because it doesnt play around as much..leaving room for rappin

Dont know if that makes sense..

but thanks to mezzo and sinapse for the feedback..

i agree with chicago, especially now that i have the mpc2000xl and i've been tryin out shit on that...

404 = crafting freedom

sounds dope man

that was hot.

sole used that same sample on the album mansbestfriend: "the new human is illegal"

this is still hot

Sh!t is sick G!!

i like the simplicity of it and the way u used the little bit u did...i see you have a FANTASTIC PLANET vinyl...i love samplin that movie but all i got is the dvd hehe...ive flipped some shit off there a couple times and still have more i deas for it hehe. PEACE

Thanks yo... I got lucky with "la planete sauvage" vinyl... Didnt know what it was just thought it had cool album art...found out madlib sampled it for The Unseen...shits too ill for me ...i cant say my skill level is high enuff to properly sample it yet

+9001!


It seems to me like simplicity is perfection.. but.. my mind is always so cluttered (and my desk)
