Erick Sermon is one of the best to ever do it, but for some reason he never shows up on any "Greatest Producers" lists. Shout out to Mass Appeal for making this happen.
Amen to everything you said my Brotha... Respect.
That's because he didn't cut his own dick off and jump out a 2nd story window. Now THAT'S BIG TIME!
He's in my top 5 sheeat!
yo i see all over the place on youtube
That’s what’s up!
The fact he somehow found a Sheena E. Sample saying “E” and sprinkled it in there as a light stab was dope af.
💯💯💯
You can see in his eyes how focused he is, it's so intriguing ...
He delivered one the sickest beat of Rhythm Roulette in my opinion !
Eric Sermon is no rookie. Look at how fast he listens to the albums & captures the sound. He's a master craftsman.
He's one of the best
@@hornyconvict The Green-Eyed Bandit, One & Only Funklord 💯
The proof is in the pudding aint it?
He killed it!!!! seriously
3:35 that "oh word..?" face. The golden moment your hear what you've been listening for. Every beat maker makes that face at that moment.
+Zayd Shakur LOL, Man you ain't never lied about that!
I thought it was the "what the fuck did I pick?" face lol
+Zayd Shakur my nigga FACTS!
+Zayd Shakur look he takes at the record. Quality.
+Zayd Shakur word up
The first beat he made was actually dope!!!!!!
U know the name of that beat ??
That last track he did would be a Hit Squad/Def Squad BANGAHH
I thought the same thing! Was like, no, you gotta keep going with that.
@@TheGorillafoot As a guy that makes beats, my friends always pick the ones i hate, we usually dislike the ones ppl like lol
right
What makes this so dope is he was willing to say I got to do it over. That refusal to be defeated. Loved this episode.
Crockpots and Cook Books.
He refused to make make some bullshit. That's the same thing Large Pro said in his episode which he created that heat.
1000% official bro
I think he is a perfectionist. He wanted perfection and being limited to selection made him dig deeper.
eric sermon always had the dopest basslines
Tony Mahoney Him and Pete Rock.
and Nottz
and Rockwilder
@@baccpackpee nba vol 2 knew what was up
BrooklynEverydayTV anything brotha lynch hung and phonkbetta produced had the dopest baselines 😂
He could probably go through those same 3 records again and come up with at least 6 more beats and each one be OFFICIAL!!!
Blakkset true
Anyone could do that
Blakkset Comment 186 AGREES. P2TG
Tyhler Novac not to many bruh
Blakkset 192 + 1000 agrees think
Erick has a youthful spirit.... A legend and originator in HIP-HOP 30yrs plus and just look at bruh in this video handling these albums to sample, "E" looks like a kid in a candy store. GOD BLESS ERICK SERMON!!!!!!
like all great artists, but he definitely got the humblest disposition ive ever seen in a great!
I feel that ! Top 10 all time
This dude produced the classic Dave Hollister album Ghetto Hymns. One of the most slept on producers out there.
Wow!! Didn't know that!
@@tamarastone141he produced Call on Me, Missing You
Also Alfonzo Hunter's underrated classic album Blacka Da Berry and the classic Just The Way
@@theillustratxr Just The Way Playas Play, Everyday All Day 💯
@@Dee_Nice89 bruh💯🔥🔥🔥🔥as young as I am, that's a classic
@@theillustratxr yes sir, takes me back to the 90s when I was young frfr
They should put out an mixtape with all the beats from this serious.... that would be dope!
Get a patent for that idea and make'em pay you when it drop.
Thank you
D0PE IDEA!
That's a shitload of clearance lol
That's alot of beats
I've always been a fan of Erick Sermon's production. He's definitely one of the all-time great hip-hop producers.
By no means do I know how to make a beat but. But watching these dudes make something hot out of nothing is pure amazing
+Oso Flocka Flame he's talking about in the context of sampling, not the value of the music, itself. he's saying it's "nothing" in terms of sampling, b/c guys like him come from looking on the back to see who the musicians are, the record label, the engineer, all sorts of things that let a producer know there's likely to be long instrumental sections, drums with little or nothing over them, that kind of thing.. a Shelia Easton record isn't gonna have that. thats all "nothing" means, here.
I do think producers got too stuck on a certain kind of record. there's something to the science they had/have down, with what to look for.. but really, you can find something useful on just about anything if you flip it right. RZA knew, thats why you have the Underdog (a cartoon about a superhero dog) sample on 36 Chambers. but most producers still javent caught up with that cat.
+MattyStevensonBishop In that context making something from nothing would mean not using a sample.
It's easier to just pull up your favorite synth instruments go into your head laying down tracks and go to town and maybe pepper like one sample over it. Actually trying to use wild sounds is a challenge because you don't get to have it perfect.
Shawn Wavy not made from nothing. lots of production goes into the original content.but I feel you.
theres a lot more than nothing before they start
I love it when they actually pick randomly, the beats come out much more creative like this one. It seems like sometimes the producers go to their favorite section and choose what they’re comfortable with.
*cough* 9th Wonder *cough*
Once he loaded the samples & started playing himself, his eyes lit up like a kid at a candy store. He’s very creative! This was great to watch. Brilliant dude!
Man this guys bananas as a producer man
Erick Sermon Forever.
and ever !!
And ever!
And ever!Hip Hop has a lot of valuable classic producers!
and ever and ever! no bullocks.
Forever-ever? Forever-ever! #DefSquad!
This is one of the realest RR episodes.
He didn't have those easy records most others somehow seem to find blindfolded;)
Still managed to knock out a distinct and dope Erick Sermon beat.
The only one I ever seen who knows the Motif like this.
Yes....Their first three albums were produced on similar equipment....Listen to the rawness of those albums......a dubbed mixtapes and the tape recorder next to the radio
The motiff is still a very sought after keyboard you'd be lucky to get one today in good condition .
@@locutz Motif's aren't rare. THey are dime a dozen.
I still got my now 16 year old Motf ES 6 still rocking it. These boards are like tanks as they just don't die.
@@VincentsVideoVisions Agreed, I see them for sale all the time and I recently picked up the ES6 for 400 bucks. However, I thought Erick would chop it up on the MPC or something like that, not the Motif but I'm pleasantly surprised.
This man is literally a living legend!
The main base the *woon woon* is half a second from Sheena Easton prisoner, the whole song is almost rock. This half second Erick turn into a soulful base for the song. Genius
Honestly the best beat I heard on all of Rhythm Roulette. Actually a fire ass beat.
Erick sermon One of the best at sample chopping and composing beats with samples. Along with DJ Premier and Pete rock. This man is inspirational! Yo Erick.. I salute you brother!
I love that production set up as well.. Just like mine simple and effective!
yo I've watched this episode a gang of times
Me too. Specifically the end where the beat plays
E always got that e.coast funk.
the first beat he did was dope too imo
Yes!! I've always thought the same. Wish someone would lay a track on it.
One of Grandmasters and pillars of hip-hop. Show nothing but respect.
This is the best Rhythm Roulette beat IMO.
I totally agree...
Dude he made two friggen beats haha. So dope
DMVLeGenD96 So true
MIKE WING I see you! lol
DMVLeGenD96 I loved Black Milk's joint as well.
Damn....one of the best Roulette beats I have heard. This is just from some random records he picked up and made in what was probably a couple of hours of real-time, and somehow it came out dripping in his style and was very complex as well.
One of the greatest producers ever!!!!!!!!!!! Raps was always on point too. Big up to the E-Dub!!!!!
Easily the best beat produced on this show by far!!!!
9th wonder by far. But respect.
@@SyckwunWrong.
Love it. He's using the equipment from my day. Respect. EPMD for life!
Erick Sermon and El-P's Rhythm Roulettes are probably the two that I can say that even though the beats were thrown together quick using records they didn't want, they both came out completely in their own extremely recognizable sound. They are probably two of the best beats created in this series as well.
He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as one of the best to ever do it. In addition to being a top soul man, he is also a rugged and sturdy individual. This man cannonballed from a 10 story balcony, landed on his chest. Got up dusted himself off. Took a second to admire his impression in the concrete. Jumped in his wide body Benz. Drove himself back to Brentwood, like “What Son”! This man is the Chuck Norris of Rap. Cheers mates!
Best beat so far on this.
word!! its almost not fair.Now y'all have to grab marley marl or someone who can match the legendary status
There’s not too many “final product“ beats that you hear at the end of these episodes, that would knock you out if it opened up an album. E double got it on lock right here. If I put on a new record by him, and this was the first joint? I’d be up out of my seat. Straight legend.
The Green Eyed Bandit...One of the most underrated Producers to ever do it.
What E did on Tonight's Da Night remains the GOAT in his catalog, and infectious as it gets. Seeing how he approaches this challenge to spin straw into gold is equally as inspiring.
THAT FIRST SHIT WAS FLY BUT THE FINISH PRODUCT WAS ILL TOO!!!!!
@3:51 - When you know you found the spot, now you just got to hit it right. Erick always brings the Sermon, preach! ✊🏽
Eric sermon sound in double or nothing is still Legendary and the sound on the red tape is still dope to this fay
This is like watching Picasso Paint in real life. Erick Sermon is a LEGEND!
Yo check his eyes when he's on the keys working his magic! THE MAN IS A GENIUS
Eric Sermon has always had a signature sound to his production, whether with EPMD or his solo joints. He picked three random albums and the track still came out with that signature Death Squad sound. And it's not as easy as he makes it look, please believe that. Like Guru said, "If you ain't got it, you ain't got it."
Eric is one of my Favorite Producers his funk head nodding beats are still dope to my ears today as it was when I first heard his music
One of the best Rhythm Roulette that I've ever seen. That second beat tho....
Scheherazade is a piece I once played in concert band. That shit straight slaps.
Rimskiy-Korsakov, love this thing
got a lot of satisfaction out of watching that beat come together, shit was pretty nice. sermon did his thing, fareal.
I hope they put Q-Tip on this.
+jvinson Q-Tip a fucking recluse, man, he'd never do this. They didn't even put out acapellas on Tribe 12-inches back in the day.
+jvinson or pete rock!
D Brooks - Large Professor would be good too.
+jvinson they have a Large Pro one now. It's sooo dope.
+jvinson Me too!!!
The beat he came up with on his second try is amazing! Erick Sermon is incredible. Great episode! Thanks, Mass Appeal.
Hey, Mass Appeal, ... can we make this like a once-a-week thing? Please?
He's know more for EPMD but quiet as it's kept one of the most underrated rap producers of all time !
3:35, that look when the producer finds the jackpot sample
pete rock pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mastah Bex Amen 🙏🏿
and DJ Premier too 🙏🏾
That's what this mix reminded me of...Pete Rock!
BattleCat!
ABSOLUTELY 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✨✨✨✨
And still, THE BEST MASS APPEAL, TO DATE!!!!! What he had to work with and how he wasn't pleased with the first one, COMPLETELY flipped it and made a KILLER BEAT for the 2nd one!!!!!
He looks so sad in few shots it's hilarious hahahah
lmaoooooooooooo
lol
***** lol yeah...but still, great music as always :D
lol word, but he murdered this joint, this is probably my favorite one in the series, but im just being biased, lol
word, he's one of my all time favorite producers, and he's so slept on
Seeing E chef it up in the kitchen this dude makes it look so easy his ear is tuned so perfect to all his productions props to the Greeneyed Bandit!!
Erick Sermon is the real deal. A true artist and has the magic that seldom arises from beneath the Earth. Thank you
Turned out brilliant!!! One of the best music producers out there!
You heard how he let the pitched down sample ride through at the end and the beat just slammed back in CRAZY. Best 1 yet my hats off Massappeal
The realest RR. Going through hardship. Thinking “damn I lost it”. And then the love for this shit brings you up. You dig more. And you find diamonds. Let’s learn from this man and make it happen.
This was the best rhythm roulette thus far!!! He murdered this track!!! Great sample choice!!!
I keep coming back to this one, dope beat still, long live Erick Sermon!
Same here!!! Someone looped it but I dont see it anymore.
One of the all time greats for sure!!!! Nobody can do it like he do
Such a legend. Got nothing but love for Erick Sermon!
This one and the one with 9th are the bests until now imo.
A true inspiration for this Portuguese Producer 🙏
Peace to y'all boombap fans
Erick Sermon has some of the most hilariously awkward expressions during this. he looks like Sway's expression during someones freestyle
great example 3:40
hahahahaha yeah
Haha, that's what was cracking me up the whole time.
He looks disgusted or irritated lmao
Ive noticed Premo do that face too
4:40...that feeling when you're thinking "damn this is hot..." hahaha
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you have imagined" i needed that right now, thanks Green Eyed Bandit.
slept on...... NO QUESTION.
One of the best beats I've ever heard ! 🔥🔥🔥
FACTS
My god, I need that! E one of the dopest producers of my lifetime
Thank you for sharing your process. I love these kind of beat making videos.
I was thinking today. Eric Sermon is by far one of my favorite producers! His work with Redman and Keith Murray in the mid 90's changed the northeast sound forever.
I can imagine Meth & Red on that beat
StreetCliche OMG!
StreetCliche dope!
The pictures with the quotes in the background are what happen when you let your girl decorate your studio
🤣💀
Thought exactly the Same 😂😂😂😂😂
or our step moms
bruhhhhh, seeing your process compared to the other Rhythm Roulettes.... you really put thought into the moment. Much respect. That 2 seconds was priceless.
Iv'e seen this at least 5 times and it keeps getting better. HipHop!
yall should really get Apollo Brown, Erick Arc Elliott, Oddisee, Kirk Knight, Madlib & DOOM
DOOM would be awesome, but we all know it's not very likely to happen.
***** yeah DOOMs hella lowkey
Add RZA to that list. I would love to see a video of him making a beat. Pete Rock too, but I've already seen videos of him making a beat. Don't think I've ever seen one of RZA. I've seen studio footage, but don't think he was making any beats.
there is already episode with Apollo Brown, that was dopee
Erick Sermon is that dude!
That man is a living legend,dope beats - peace and love from Bulgaria ;) !
The best episode ever i luv this beat... peace
Some 'Rhythm Roulette' suggestions: Apollo Brown, Grap Luva, M-Phazes, L'Orange, Blueprint, Arts The Beatdoctor, Oddisee, Klaus Layer, Marcus D, Bronze Nazareth, RZA, K-Murdoch, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Another one with Damu actually making a beat, Ant, Nick Wiz, Buckwild & Madlib.. I'm pretty sure none of those have been done yet.
DJ Premier ?
How did i forget premo?
TheLukieBoi1 Premo... aint that good anymore. He's running on fumes in the music biz.
Aza K Dog, Preem ain't runnin' on fumes. I think these DJ gigs around the world are payin' some heavy bread and he'd be a fool to turn 'em down.
No ID, MF DOOM (not happening), Skibeatz, Dr Dre (He's more of a producer, but would still like to see what he can do on his own), Scott Storch (doesn't sample, but would be fun to see how he'd flip samples), Alchemist, Evidence, Tyler, The Creator, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Flying Lotus, Havoc, and I'll end my list with Gramatik.
“Music” alone is sampling 101
Erick is without a doubt an unsung hero in the hip hop game. Incredibly talented and has layed down some of the smoothest tracks I've ever heard both on the R&B and hip hop. I've been playing drums since I was about 4 years old and wasn't interested in hip hop at all until I went to college and heard EPMD through my roommates. I was strictly into Go Go which was the music i grew up on in the DMV. When I heard Erick Sermons beats, I became a hop hop fan. Thanks for laying the foundation for all the cats that followed you Erick and for making me recognize hip hop. Respect you to the fullest my Dude. JW
The legend continues dope to see Eric Sermon haven't seen or heard anything from him in years "DOPE"
To look at him, you wouldn't know that he's one of the WIZARDS of beat sampling and a pillar of the hip hop world. Just a really dope cat who knows his craft inside and out. Lyrical and melodic are his hallmarks.
He could sneeze on a track and it would beat the shit out of anything Kanye ever did.
love this show thats what i usualy do download random songs and just searching
salute to all diggers
I love the old school sampling method and the way he put this together on the Motif 6! An oldie but goodie!
Coming back to see this again. E double with that classic material
3:35 - "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I PICKED?" Lmao.
Yea. Lmao. He definitely wasn't happy.
He did what he can yo it happens
He killed it. That's what legends do. I would've burned them shits. Lol.
lmao, I burst out laughing, thanks for that.
HAHAHA yo I didn't even think that until you pointed it out! Thanks for the laugh.
Mass appeal instrumental mixtape??? Or downloads for full instrumentals?? Great vids and inspiration, thanks
just a look at the excitement on his face....When you love what you do
still comes back to this episode. One of the dopest beats in the series.
Erick was acting like he got three record with crap on it but he found gems on those joints and made a bangin' beat like it was child's play.
3:34 laughed so hard :D
The best beat of them all... This is that real NYC hip hop sound
its amazing! i'm amazed at all the different ways these producers hear sounds. some sounds that are rejected , we've seen other rhythm roulette producers use . that's what's cool
The Green eyed bandit...1 Of the best to ever do it!
