I've been making beats since '87. Never chopped a beat in my life until last year when I bought an old MPC 1000 from a pawn shop. I find that the MPC forces you into a certain type of workflow and mindset when making music. I always tried to avoid the perfect quantized 16 beat or 24 beat resolution because everyone started using the MPCs and SP1200s in the late 80's and early 90's so a lot of dude's beats started sounding very similar. I used a 12-second and a 24-sec Gemini sampling mixer and just chained my samples together and matched the tempos when I overdubbed - - played the entire beat live over top of other rhythms for the entire 2-3 minutes. Had to remember the punch-ins and mix style...had to compensate for dead pans and low levels on the board. Damn that was a lot of work to mix down a beat...and it was not just one "chunk" of sequence - I'm talking entire mixtapes of beats with shit fading in and out all over the place!!! I remember writing notebooks of notations that synced to that little 3-numeral tape counter! While cats came through with their rhyme notebooks - I had engineering notes scribbled in notebooks - haha! As for sample edits, the trim edit was tapping the in and out manually, there was no trim/truncate editor or any visual aid - no ADSR - it was all done with 100% audio senses. No 16 levels of chromatic scales for chorus or bassline - If I wanted a bassline I'd have to either learn the part and play it myself and then sample it live from a shitty Yamaha P-Bass and then break up the pieces along the 4 mixer triggers or break out the Casio and low pass it to death with compression and some distortion. The effects were sent out board and lined back into the cassette multi-track recorder - grey Hi-Bias Maxell 90 min of course! My room was littered with patch cables, phono RCA jacks, all types of splitters, amps, rigs, soldering guns, make-shift surround sound speakers, duct tape, broken mics, crates, carpet on the walls to impede resonance and echo and other shit I can't recall. There were no computers, no drum machines with midi samples...just organic analog tape in one damn take! That way I was able to make real-time fills and out-takes without stopping. It was basically a few steps up from my old pause tapes. Sometimes the loops were perfect - sometimes a little off...so that made the drums sound live and not sampled, but it was still hip-hop!! Looking back it was probably a very convoluted and jacked up way of doing it now that we are in the future of music production, but when I listen back to my 25-30 year catalog of music production, it sounds like nothing out there. That was the time when us beat makers who could not afford the big equipment would sweat, cuss, smoke and bleed over a perfect song, spending days cramped up in our labs trying to get all the shit right - no showers, no food, sleep or much human contact - girlfriends pissed off at you cause you are in love with your craft. Nowadays I do appreciate the precision of the MPC and other sequencers though, not discounting any of this incredible equipment, I just used very unconventional methods for beat-making, as I am sure many of you have done the same. I just remember and appreciate the days back when it was work, a labor of love and sometimes drudgery. It's just so easy now. I downloaded an app on my iPhone with everything there, filters, effects, sequencers, drum machine and sample libraries, stereo recording, unlimited tracks, computational perfection in all its splendor...all in the palm of my hand - it was a mind fuck...remembering back when all I had was 4 tracks to squeeze my entire creative musical universe into. Beat making is truly becoming a lost art form. It's no longer ritualistic for many people, it's lost it's true essence and soul - that's why you should never discard your old stuff, the things that helped you grow, LPs, tapes, notebooks of poems, rhymes and crazy doodles, film cameras and old, funky beat up equipment!! Shout out to beat makers everywhere, old and new!
Salvador Ceja Thanks doc! Yeah I'm tellin' u bro - anyone who's for real will feel that passion thru the art form. The reason why it hurts us all a little is because we know it's a time era that's now behind us. It's like the marriage ended and she's gone, but you still hang up 2 fresh towels in the bathroom every Saturday anyway - haha!
+king shaman Yeah, you truely make it seem like an artform as it seems that you had to figure out more and use your initiative more than a beginner producer nowadays. I don't believe beat making is a lost artform though, just more refined and imo advancing.
+king shaman I disagree with your conclusion. Digital approach to beatmaking can be very complex, very rough, very realistic. Micro editing is the key. When I create a drum on ableton or logic or whatever, I put every sample (every single hat snare kick and shit!) manually, slightly off or right on the beat according to my feeling. For the whole track. It takes me way more than a hour to do that, and my drum DOES sound live, even more than what your devices could, or an mpc does. Digital can go as creative as the user can. You can basically reproduce anything, from loops to live with digital edition. And it does require skills, but people are too damn focused on the superficial easiness of digital beatmaking.
did he brag about doing a closed and open hat "at the same time"....despite clearly doing it ad an overdub? lmao this fool is doing overdubs and acting like he's killing a live performance. I can't stand videos full of basic, 101 level technique and the guy acts like he's spitting out deeply held secrets. had he done some chops and recorded the sample with the drums live, maybe he would have justified that arrogance.
Everyone seems to be forgetting that these are beats for people who can actually rap, and not for people who's entire careers started and depended on how good their producers are at not only making beats but making sure the artist sounds good.
Essentially, these beats are for those people who can rap without a beat. That is what makes the simplistic style so appealing, because it allows an MC (a rapper who's lyrical ability transcends rap and transforms into Art [more or less]) to say as much as possible and take full control of the beat, taking the listener where the MC wants them to go.
That doesn’t mean the beat has to be trash. Madvillainy is known for insane lyrics and flows but also incredible beats. Saying a beat is trash but it’s ok cause its made for “lyrics” is dumb. It’s still music at the end of the day and should sound good.
Most of us do it the closed Hats & Open Hats the same time. I'm not hating but these are mad simple drum patterns. And don't get me wrong simple is good but a KICK KICK SNARE..KICK KICK SNARE.. Repeat is nothing to brag about.
Music with Soul is all i really want and THis has That. Def has that WU feel. What yall aint realizing is that it don't fuckn take much basics so the MC can spit real shit. Good shit Homeboy . I hope he put Cappa on this joint.
I knew my man wasn’t going to make it through the entire video and not make a food reference. Shout out to “Lunchables”, the #1 project food aka “Chemical Packs”! Cheers mates!
A drum set is a tool to make drum beats an MPC is a tool to make drum beats. If the MPC allows you to do something a drum set can't then that doesn't make it un realistic. MPCs make realistic things you normally couldn't do with a regular drum set.
What if he didn't clear it.should he get sued so a TH-cam producer can make a "hot" beat with it and feel like he actually has some originality and isn't a cookie cutter
Its simple but it hits. Throw an MC on there, and it will sound 1000 times better. Sometimes you have to let the beat breathe to leave rooms for the rhymes.
Total respect. And the point he makes with the current clowns.. er. producers is correct. The tracks I hear today.. sheezzz. They have NO organics, no little mistakes, no personality n' shit. That's coz everyone is using the same programs, the same sounds, the same quantization techniques until all the humanity is gone. It's like they are afraid of showing individuality or something!
That's why I love hardware, because it's me making the beat, not a computer mouse or software that does every little thing for you, but I can't lie, I use fl studio 20 right now too, because I'm waiting to stack up enough money for either the mpc live or something else very similar, which their isn't too many things like it. I cannot wait.
IRON SHIEK Keep doin' ya thing... Most sample producers never give too much in a video anyways... Ya don't cast ya pearls b4 swine and dogs... I think that the best part of the video wasn't the beat but... what you were actually sayin'... or rather teachin'... makin' tracks is more so a discipline, akin to martial arts, as opposed to... makin' the best track ever... it's practice, repetition, growth and mastery... and then... once you've done all of that... ya scrap it and then... move on to doin' somethin' different... than... anything that you've ever done b4... I am actually thinkin' bout releasin' my stuff... Good lookin' on the video and the beat.Stay UP!
Been making beats since the summer of 85 baby, and by 88-89 i was chopping beats with a 5 seconds or some shit on a Casio SK-1 before the WU in fact. It just didn't ave the same sample library as the Abbot did in the early 90's. Now on my computer in FL 12 i can do the shit so easy it is kinda boring to be real. During the analog day you had to work to create a banger and you appreciate it more not like today. My drum machines and roland sampler in the early 90's I had to learn how to play program all that shit on my own. You can appreciate that shit more when you work with a joint. I can make a whole beat and haverit finished in a few hours.
*The beat was decent, but goddamn that's the easy way to do it... Try without samples and making something from scratch and more intricate... There's just too many cats nowadays doing it and there's some BANGERS out there now, so my bad for sounding judgemental, but I think my standards have risen. Lol.*
thats right that boombap has got to be be original i usually loop my samples but the kick in snare i record in one shot throughout the whole track, props man
Um I'm both a passionate fan of the Wu and the Mobb, who the hell is this guy? Mobb Deep production was mostly handled by Havoc with some gems by the Alchemist and P himself.
@@lawrencegreene6717 description indicates "Wu-Tang/Infamous Mobb/Mobb Deep producer makes a beat and shares some science on how to make your beats sound better." My comment still stands bro. Heck what has this guy produced for the Wu?
What I’m missing is where it said his name? Or are you such a passionate fan that you know by what he looks like that he hasn’t done anything for those groups. I’m guessing you looked up the channel name or something
4:33 It can either be layering or using the 'Simult' function, whereby you can use 3 copies of the same snare. So 1 pad triggers 3 copies of the same sound, 1 copy is as original, the other 2 can be panned hard left & right & pitched up/down slightly to thicken the hit out. Verysickbeats on youtube showed that trick - big up.
That is the main difference between these "boring" beats and the modern 808 oversaturated, lightspeed hihat having, "Turn Up" beats. The beat in the video puts almost all control into the hands (or mouth) of the rapper, whereas today's Hype track actually holds the hand of the rapper by restricting and focusing a whole lot less on WHAT is said, and a hell of a lot more on HOW its said (I.E. flow, AutoTune, producer tricks that "T -Up" the vocals, etc.).
Is it me or could he have done more with the sample? Maybe I just like melodies more than the average but I feel like the loop he had at the beginning could have been used more,the end product sounded a little repetitive for my taste
Sometimes I dream beats from different categories of songs if I was a producer I would make them. All I can do is when I wake up I remind the beat from the dream and try to beatbox it immediately on record to my phone.
Peace pardon the delay. I know a lot of you have questions about Iron Shiek's history. The video interview is coming soon! Subscribe so you can be notified when it does. Peace!
Divine Milk My brother must wipe the tattoo in the right hand because he is our Creator name It is not permitted to enter the bathroom and tattoos in your hand
fakes talkin about the beat being boring. quit hating. New gen just can't get into the original sound of the true essence of Real hip hop. I'll tear that beat up word is bond. strictly original. peace and love

I love how he says he doesn't like producers that just put their drums in on a grid, then uses the note repeat button for the hats. lol
But he use the note repeat for the hats
DJ Revolver Truth... that's the first thing i noticed... What he said can also be applied to his self in being more creative with the hats.
daniel bosques yes that's what we're saying...
daehtnulb more creative with the hats?? shhiittt the drums period.
Lol Word but uses a PRE MADE 2 to 4 bar sample
Respect to any producer still making beats on the MPC. Thing has really become an instrument throughout the years
Marcopolo beats
Love my mpc! Computers are just so fast but if I had too pick one for the rest of time itd be my mpc 2000k for sure

dude comes across as a tool IMO, real dumb.
Jason Nugent still dooe
"I don't use drums and bass loops, I don't fuck with that. I keep it authentic and real". (samples everything else under the sun to create the track)
Why y'all hating?
@@Spyder8561 tbh, i wouldn't be hating on him if he didn't act like he was the greatest and shunned producers that didn't do what he does

Love that 90s hard hitting sound! I grew up under this man & the Wu. Oh yea; yall peep his chain though?
Yea he got the universal flag chain!!!

Yes pls
Some chinese kung fu movie
What if he didn't clear it.should he get sued so a TH-cam producer can make a "hot" beat with it and feel like he actually has some originality and isn't a cookie cutter
wtf are you talking about?
Presumably the sample is from the movie "Return to the 36th Chamber" which was significant to Wu-Tang Clan.
Its simple but it hits. Throw an MC on there, and it will sound 1000 times better. Sometimes you have to let the beat breathe to leave rooms for the rhymes.

could've done so much more with the different elements of the sample. nothing crazy, but its a solid beat

That beat is DOPE!

This beat fit well for killa priest Flow
New York cats crack me up.
Yeah, we only invented hip-hop...

I like that you respond to the hate with a beat battle challenge. Good shit
thats right that boombap has got to be be original i usually loop my samples but the kick in snare i record in one shot throughout the whole track, props man

bofff. i mad beats like that 15 years ago.
