Just wondering if there's any specific videos of guys making beats that inspired you when you first started making beats...

I used to watch these religiously:

kev brown (one of the most underappreciated IMO)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHOXXsu4ehc

black milk (also does not get enough credit)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFiHKcYA4jY

..and of course the 303 video of all 303 videos

I only had a 33.6k dial up modem when I started. Dinosaurs were amazing to see in person.

I used to watch this dude's videos back when he was making them. The way he flips this Donny Hathaway track is genius.

Black Milk .. yes the video where he's playing ' Broken Wax ' in the basement.

Madlib Red Bull . host Egon

Pete Rock sampling ' Love Is A Battle Field '

.. n that's just during the start of my SP era .

as a whole .. probably Kanye West College Dropout heavily inspired me

[thesisdrs]

Ah Yes! Boon Doc Definitely gave me some Inspiration to get back on my craft.
So Did the legendary Pete Rock with that Love is a Battlefield breakdown.

these videos are what inspired me to get a 404sx as my first sampler machine... I saw one of my friends using one on snapchat or instagram or something like that and I think I googled "orange buttons sampler machine" or something like that and eventually found it. then I found these videos and started becoming obsessed with learning it and getting a 404. a year and a few months later and im not much better at it, but Ive spent a ton of money on gear and shit lol.
