- Dj Muggs getting busy making beats on his SP 1200, in 1992 (I originally thought it was 93, but I remember this being a few months after the riots, so it was actually 1992), at his home in the Southgate area of Southern Cali.

I love how it’s 92 and he still has better equipment than me 😂
cause people was serious back then about music
plus they still hit the same way unlike bubble gum abc rap of today with recycled sounds from the 90s with horrible qaulity instead of making there own
@@orderupyouvegotmail9226 “making their own”. As if Muggs, Dre and Rza didn’t plagiarized other artists material to to get to where they’re at now.
@Doom Rustler "you aren't a real fan because my music taste is better" is essentially the argument you just gave this guy and you wanna call HIM out?
That SP 1200 no joke.
DJ Muggs the genius behind Cypress Hill and Soul Assassins
You forgot jump around song......
@Carlos_ the fuck?
Metamophisis that’s exactly what came to mind.
@Ole Carlos fuck you
those older cypress hill beats are sick.. i always say dj muggs badass.. the beat make the song compa orale 💯
Does somebody else just keeps coming back to this video periodically? Or is it just me?
I'm trying to figure out what song he made this beat for
I can't keep away
Always and forever
@@D.HONDA444 for real I gotta know 😻
@@aabapowerful8681 Public Enemeny Shut Em Down (Remix) sadly it was never relased but I plan to do so.Cause I know the samples.
In 1992 that equipment is Top-Notch & this dude's got it set up in his room Damn
it doesn't matter what you use to make beats, it matters what comes out of it
couldn't agree more
Bruh has an sp.
Definitely!
@@lorddarkon4633 facts lol. Save this quote for someone making beats off an iPad haha
@@THORNZMUSIC madlib:
Muggs always sample the best bass lines!!!
2019 and he’s still on top of the underground scene
He’s released like 7-8 classic projects in the last 2 years...
I filmed it at his house (actually it was his mom's house). I have about 10 minutes of interviewing him, too. I'll add that sometime.
thanks 11 years later but I always was a fan of Muggs and Cypress, pretty neat to see the lab work!
How about that interview?
@@AstonishingSodApe LOL
@@JaeWarneR What’s funny? I’m really interested in seeing that.
@@AstonishingSodApe the fact that the post is 11 years old and the interview hasn't been posted.
Wish he’d make some beats like those days again. They are timeless.
for those curious, the main vocal sample muggs is using at 0:20 is from "You Sure Drive A Hard Bargain" by Albert King. definitely an artist muggs was a fan of sampling lol
How did you even find that? Good shii I’ve been lookin for this for long time
Wow, thanks man!
You Showed Me (1968) was sampled in
Transmitting Live From Mars by De La Soul (1989)
You Showed Me by Salt-N-Pepa (1990)
Sunshine Men by Freestyle Fellowship (1992)
Not U Again by Brothers Uv Da Blakmarket (1992)
Don't Sleep! by Harleckinz (1995)
Baby Father by Mad Lion (1995)
Turtle Soup by DJ Food (1996)
The Playboy Mansion by U2 (1997)
Out House Stunt by The B.U.M.S. (1998)
Midnightsession by Thomilla, Max Herre, Hausmarke and Afrob feat. Gentleman (1999)
i'll never forget the first time i heard cypress hills debut and those hard n funky beats, unlike anything else
This man has thought me that how good u can rap or sing or whatever it means nothing without a sick beat . My thx Mr muggs
In loving memory of great verses that died at the hands of a wack beat. 🪦
The beat he's making sound reeeeeaally similar to Ice Cube's "Now I Gotta Wet 'Cha" which makes sense since DJ Muggs produced it lmao
yeah i was gona say
I havent heard that song in about 26 years... ANd I'm only 30 but I still remember it. Thanks man!
Same bassline.
I think that is what he was creating
SP-1200, EPS-16+, ASR-10, ST-224 -- the best sampling machines ever!
and Sequential Circuits Studio 440!
Don't forget the great Casio SK-1 LoL
There is no denying that today's top producers all utilize computers. By no means am I stuck in the past and fully understand that we need to utilize technology to further enhance our craft and creativity. What I don't like is that the same luxuries that allow good producers to put out great material are the same luxuries that cause inept producers to flood the market with subpar material. Everyone with a midi controller and a DAW thinks they are producers just because they can assemble noise.
thats true
Yes. Restrictions used to force the cream to rise to the top. Now everybody thinks they’re DJ Shadow 2.0
Muggs is using a computer and other people's songs. Not much different
Mosh Pits & Motorcycles - that was never the point. The software and tools were extremely crude. It’s the same idea in film, that the crudeness of tools forces creativity whereas powerful tools don’t have the same dynamic of forcing innovation due to lack of tools
Jay Are yeah but being innovative with crude tools doesn't equal good music. Gotta learn to use what you have available, whether it's top notch equipment or a bucket and a spoon. If you take out the words, a lot of these new beats sound cool as hell
He created a whole new sound🔥
Dude I just witnessed pure greatness!😀
Back then it was cool to watch folks put beats together.. All these years later and i just bought an MPC💪🏿
The great beat master in action. My ears digg this =)
Muggs always had little elements in his beats that made them super funky. Like that trademark 1200 swinging hi hat "tic-tic-tic-tic-a-ticky-tic-tic-tic". Lol
Yep lord finesse used that sample hi hat sample on his SP1200
His soulful ass basslines for sure, plus he's got the affinity to hit you with haunting synth and piano elements ETC, universal
Muggs still killing it with that underground scene
DJ MUGGS AND CYPRESS HILL HAD A ALBUM THAT WHENT 2× Platinum AND STILL MAKING BEATS IN HIS HOUSE...NOW THATS SOME G SHIT RIGHT THERE!!! CYPRESS HILL FOREVER!..
moms house. straight murder
This was before any album came out
@@creepnasty5370 self titled came out in 91
man this is classic... nothing like it ... pure hip hop at its finest being created
This is the dude who REALLY got me into hip hop back in 91. Before that i was a casual hip hop listener.....I heard Cypress : How I coiuld just kill a man" and it was over...........Dilla might have changed your life but MUGGS changed MINE...He made me a Hip Hop Junkie i am today...........SA all DAY!!!!!!! EAST LOS!!!
The professional! DJ Muggs has always been super awesome!
This is exactly what I do..When I make beats..Mad respek to muggs...Thanx 4 being alive & puttin it down proper 4 us out here in the struggle
..
Muggs is the genius of 90's era
Relax.
@@Kloppsserialbottlers why relax?? It's the true muggs is one of the bestest producenent ever... Soo u just relax...
@@insanebrain3259 Because Pete Rock told you to relax.
@@Kloppsserialbottlers pete is great too but muggs is muggs and u can just hate
@@insanebrain3259 Not hating.
The Emu SP 1200 is to hip hop history what Fenders are to rock history.
Muggs had such a distinct sound back in the early 90s.
U hear a DJ Muggs beat and u know it's one of his beats he's got his own style he's actually a really underated producer
jeez, these are all killer beats. this comes from someone who never thought he'd appreciate hip hop.
Love your style! Inspiring.
You favorite producers favorite producer. Let’s not forget that muggs mentored Alchemist. That’s right.
Muggs one of my favorites very underrated loved the dusted sound.
totally dope..its cool to catch a glimpse of what Muggs was doing back then.. thanks for the clip!
one of the best yet.
Muggs and Lethal were on a whole nother level! (And still are!). I saw them talkin about this process on Cypress Hill Insane In The Brain on Showtime. 🤘
wow DJ Muggs! one of the best for me ! he makes very special music
one of my favorite producers
2022 man,I was a baby dem times lmao ey yo Uncle Muggs you fye for this yo!🔥😎🍻🍺
and thats how hip hop is born ..
DJ_URBAN_BG hip hop was born in the early seventies over break beats from disco or percussion records. dont forget your history
Edward John Bowden yessir. the incredible bongo band. I'm only 26 and 98% of the people I know or who are around me, do not know this. even older cats are surprised with disbelief that I would know
@@eddibowerWell said, Bobby Rush the bluesman was already making rap like 90s grooves in the late 60s.
If you have more of this..... show us! :D
Man such a inspiration this guy.
such dope footage, really dope studio for 92!
The Goat. Still smashing out tracks to this day.
"The Turtles" didnt know they created melodic sequence which would be used so often :)
1. The Turtles - You Showed Me (1968)
(~2. DJ Muggs (1992) making beats at his home studio~)
2. DJ Food - Turtle soup (1994)
3. The Lightning Seeds - You Showed Me (1996)
4. Supreme Beings of Leisure - Never The Same (2000)
5. DJ Food - Turtle Soup (Wagon Christ Mix) (2003)
de la soul - transmitting live from mars
lilclout yeah this is the song that the turtles sued them for which cost de la sooo much money..
So its a DJ Food breakbeat Album?
Awesome video dude, would love to see more.
Muggs is a legend. one of the last true beat wizards. way before the days of these guys making beats on FL
Please go listen to Vdon
FL is approaching GOAT status
I still believe making music is like magic. If you're doing the right kind of magic, people move their bodies. I believe music and art, it's like this sort of thing that gives you some kind of feeling in your spirit.
Respect from Italy.
1:40 😮 please something like that now
Guy just casually changing the whole f**kin game right there. #GOAT
Man I can whatch him drop beats all day!
Bet he had a few warped records what with that baking LA sun beaming through the window onto the deck
* The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands - White Whale Records (1968).* One of my personal favorite rock albums.
Dj Muggs crazy talented, and underrated.
A Hidden Gem!!!!
Blessed🕯️
I wasn't born til 96... son this a whole vibe
A Master at work!
Best of the best hip hop DJs
Very Underrated!!!!
oh yeah and i love the "test" at the end with bringin in the chuck d record jus to hear dat shyt wit a voice, nice!
Much Gratitude
A legend in tha making right there
muggs killin' it on the OG SP1200... so incredible!!!
I see some comments about his equipment. As someone who makes beats as well, I would like to say that it’s not the equipment per se, it’s the producer! Gotta remember these machines were very limited per alchemist/timbaland (look up their interviews they speak of this). It’s just the creativity and how much you practice and know your equipment and or DAW!
Very inspiring!
damn... 92, 10th grade for me. them cassette racks were the move. I had 4 of em full hung up just like that too. good stuff
Great to see Muggs doin' his thing. Glad you recorded this.
The classic sp1200!! I need 1
Legend !
thanks for the vid.
Gran respect!!
..that's pretty slick: he let's his mixing/sampling speak for him. Lights up another number..
legend at work
i thank whomever took that video & i also thank whomever posted this on TH-cam.
This was awesome
This is how real hip-hop is made. Just a guy in a room havin fun making music... The best music isn't made in a $200,000+ studio. The best music is made when you have limitations because it inspires you to be creative and to find new ways to do things. I would much rather have an SP1200,SL1200, and records than to have a midi keyboard and a Mac Pro.
I couldn’t agree more I preach this to people all the time and they don’t seem to get it. Limitation creates innovation like inspiration creates imitation
I grew up in south gate, all I heard back in da days was melo man ace, kid frost an CH. Classic stuff!
great loop.
thanks!
SOUL ASSASSINS FAN SINCE DAY 1!!!
Peace to DJ Muggs from North Trenton, New Jersey.
this video is so niice Dj Muggs is a creative dude.
I always come back to this video for inspiration. Its just crazy to think that at that time, producers were seen as magicians and what they did was a very unknown process; which is what made it magical. A bunch of nerd tech wizard/ music lovers sitting at a station making amazing sound and mastering the craft without the internet, using hand books and manuels to actually try to figure it out; that is if you didn't have an industry connection to just show you how. That meant going to libraries or reading music magazines to find out how to program drums and understanding mixing. Sampling is an art in itself, and not having any digital visual view of a wave file (on certain machines at the time i believe maybe) but simply listening and chopping the samples on transients and doing it all with limited sample time, and some machines with no undo feature forced precision and creativity...which made it organic and magic like.
MAN...
I'm surprised he never did anything with this beat. Whatever the song would turn out to be I would still listen to it.
this so fucken sweet, pure classic sp1200!! wow non of these computer keyboard beats. just real hip hop!!!!!!
The greatest beat maker!
dj muggs one of the best hiphop producers all time
Sounds like a really early version of “When The Ship Goes Down”
Just say when the shit goes down my nigga
Awesome how he found that one staccato organ note. Ears zoned im
Inspiration indeed, that's why Dj Muggs is my #1 producer of all time and yet I do never try to emulate him
Legendary!
The Legend!
respect from brazil
Q dios siempre te cuide mi mentor gracias x crear y hacer alma
in the lab experimenting creating black sunday is what hes doing. good shit man. lookin fwd to interview
I guess this is his stab at a PE "Shut 'em Down" remix. He might as well as saved this for a new Cypress song instead, since Pete Rock already bodied it. With that said, I miss Muggs making beats like this. I miss beats like this in general.
dope90, settinguptapes, jindujun records - indie labels for good beats
I might remake it
@@videolab1552 have you done it yet?
Legendary
DOPE beats!!!
