Dope! Thank you for this video with the legend! Listening to the SP1200 project now. Side note: you may want to correct that in the video which stated that it is an Akai SP1200 when in fact it was made by E-Mu. Peace!
I understand what Finesse was saying about limitations with creating music, but I feel like one thing he didn't mention was knowledge. Yea we might not be limited with the amount of different plugins, effects, and kits at our finger tips, but when we all start all of us lack knowledge of using those tools and using them to develop a work flow. Lack of knowledge & purpose is the biggest limitation when creating.
People don't even know these records he's using already been used the joint at 11:21 Madlib used already on his Quasimoto album don't digg for these popular joints by these famous artist go for those dollar joints trust you will find heat listen Dilla had records that ppl had right in there houses and he flip the hell out of them forget those soul joints grab everything
Quick question. I've been rocking with ableton live since ver. 7, Just recently copped a MPC Ren. How the hell do I route the output of ableton to the MPC? So i can warp my wav files them re sample through the MPC.
Man... I use a vynal record player, to record into audacity and then rip and cut into virtual dj studio where I manually key the cuts to keys on my laptop. I record the cuts live and then export and place the cuts in fl studio. And then I have to manually sync it to the beat....... I NEED AN MPC!@#!$!@#!
Carlos p dude record into slicex then chop it there. You don't need audacity or a anything else. Turntable+phono preamp (if you have one) > audio interface/ sound card > fl studio
My homie uses a program called bit wig and bangs out beats insanely quick. Personally i need something with pads/keys and knobs to geg into the session. Ive tried tracking out shit on software and I found it to be boring and hard on my eyes. But if u like working with a keyboard and mouse and you like the end result keep doing it . I dont use computers at all in production i record from my mixboard to 8 track tape machine which is awesome until you need to burn a cd or email or upload your music. Then i gotta go to daw which in most cases onlh has 2 inputs which defeats the purpose of recording in 8 individual tracks. If you make you music in the computer its so much easier to send beats to your friends or post music to bandcamp . For those reasons ide say its a good idea to have both hardware and software
I found the song he sampled at 8:36, what a hard song to find! Only one version of that song on TH-cam. Anybody wanna know what it is? 12:30 is a much easier song to find.
That's what I'm talking about. Change your confessions from calling the pioneers old school or old cats to Icons, legends. Show respect to the forefathers
@@dominicgray2187 agreed.personally i go fof machines that add their own character to the sample I.E sp1200, eps etc. It seems like the new machines lack that.. if u took the same sample on a mpc live and compared it to the native instruments machine , it would be identical.... pitching samples down no longer creates those artifacts and funk that sp1200s or mpc 60 s , eps 16 etc. Would do... that being said hes right about the importance of work flow. Its amazing how the operation systems are layed out in the new mpcs are, im intrigued by the ease of use and the displays are. ..seriously takes me hours to chop a break up right but i find that its worth every minute once i get that crunch that im after . Its not just the bit rate its the tiny bits of digital information that either gets left out or stretched (aliasing) that the older generation samplers produced... im not sure if im even making sense but bottom line is use what u got to the fullest and be original.. dont be using presets and sound banks yall. Thats cheating
Oh man, Lord Finesse, I admire his vision and work, very skilled rapper and producer, living legend
@Cesar Briggs yeah, no one cares

Mathematics used the loop starting around 12:42 for Wu-Tang's "People Say" recently.

Yo Finesse, please dont stop using that SP... you might spend an extra couple of minutes loading your beats on to it but in the end it's worth it!

This is inspiring!
Thanks for this great first episode! Please keep this series going!

This is why Lord Finesse was better than most other producers. He could make a beat right in front of you.
Mane! Talk about the record sampling days. Good shyt
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved it. Cant wait for more episodes. Just gotta turn up the vocals a little bit more. Was hard to hear on phone
Awesome! Whats the name of the sampled song?
King of ny

@ 5:20, Akai sp1200?...i mean im pretty shure but didnt E-mu make the SP.....

+Jung Andy just found it: Diplomats - I've Got The Kind Of Love
no problem :)
Action Bronson - Modern Day Revelations (Feat. Roc Marciano)
Did a joint with it.
1:23 I like them all, but I think you forgot about Guru. He produced the beats and rapped in Gang Starr.
any idea what song finesse is at 12:29 min playing?
Yessir
I found the song he sampled at 8:36, what a hard song to find! Only one version of that song on TH-cam. Anybody wanna know what it is?
12:30 is a much easier song to find.
Yes mate, I'm trying to find the 8:36 song, but it's hard! :)

Still dope in 2024
oh shit thats ish pops
What was the first sample?!?!?
wow! some really hot gems in there!
Redman produces I didn't know that.
For many years
Roy King. Started off as a DJ
Roy King. He produced the majority of his first two albums
I might as well as mention in here that Busta Rhymes isn't a slouch behind the boards either.
DJ for the Lords of the Underground when they were unsigned
Peace Ness
They should make a complete beat too. Good show though!
**E-MU SP1200
whats the name of them samples GOOSHHH
😁"When keepin it real goes wrong."
5:40 Why would you want your technical process to be harder?
The better yoru hardware is, the more flowing the creative side can be.
McChulo you get more creative when your backs against the wall

I became so lazy to do this. I have stacks to go through still......:(.
Try going back and listening to beats from your all time favourite producers and remember why you got into that shit.
Dope video, looking forward to see more.. But the talking is a bit too quiet IMO ;)
Educating
"eennt....eenntt...eenntt..ent"
The real question is how can be a sample based producer legally? I love chopping samples but I do not want to get sued.
The SP1200 ain't an Akainice video tho, finesse is the illest
👍...
Parrish Smith produces too. EPMD
Lord Finesse > Buckwild > Ez Elpee
Beat Bang Theory was an Beat Tape i made in 2013. lol
Schoolly D is the first mc music producer
