It did. In fact he had two floods. The earliest one destroyed the early albums and they had to be redone. Method Man's "Tical" was different from what was released. The second flood destroyed Inspector Deck's debut album. "Uncontrolled Substance" would've been a different album than what was released had that particular flood didn't happen.
Brethren, I felt a gut punch reading the title. Indeed, a relocation is necessary. They got the MPC & Yamaha (damn). Hopefully, You'll be able to find a suitable replacement. Keep your head up. ✊🏾✌🏾
My soul was crushed back in the late 90s. My irresponsible brother left some of my DJ equipment and ALL of my CDs in his car (hundreds) for reasons unknown, was all stolen and pretty much ended my DJing, sampling, production career and it still kills me inside that I was never able to recoup and carry on my passion for music. People are scummy and don't understand those of us who use music in all aspects of our lives. It can ruin many. Keep your head up man...
I've had to rebuild my studio several times over the last 20 years. I went almost 8yrs without any way to make music and it sucked!! I started back up during quarantine in 2020 buying an interface and a mic with fl studio. Little by little, piece by piece, I was able to build a full home studio with guitars, drums, keyboards, etc....just gotta get what you can when you can until you have everything you need. nothing wrong with buying used gear either.
Had the same happen to me in 2017 Portland, OR. After a night of gigging I ended up giving another DJ homie a ride home. Went in his place to piss, maybe 3 minutes max. Someone had popped my trunk and took all my gear from the car. Of course he lived next to a house with no power or heat that had squatters in it... Anyway he set up a gofund me for me it took just under 3 grand to get all of the same gear that was stolen back. I only missed one gig thanks to my DJ homies and just the general goodwill of folks in PDX, the gig I missed ended up being a benefit gig that raised the last 300 bux. Long story short the B.S. can only hold you back for a little bit. Keep your head up homie!!
Homie, obviously don't know you but from all us beatmakers and producers out here, prayers 🙏 that God restores all that was taken and deals harshly with the culprits. Stay strong and blessed and remember what you said in the beginning of your video "New Beginnings". I believe that your latter will be greater than the former, stay up.
That MPC lived a better life than most. Not only did you take care of it and cooked up crazy jams, but also through the TH-cam you've inspired more people than you could imagine. I've been through periods of lots of gear, and no gear, and creativity always prevails. Keep us updated and inspired!
as someone who was robbed of most of my hard earned equipment as well around 2005-2006, i sympathize with you. it's hard, and makes you wonder about the people you deal with, because most of the time, it IS an inside job by people you put a certain level of trust in.... i basically never recovered from that, but i did move on and find new ways of doing things... wish you a prompt recovery from that.
Damn Brah, Us MPC Heads MUST stick together. My 1st was a Renaissance. 3000 must be a REAL love... ❤ Find your 3000, Start a fund, I'll contribute... ✌️
Yo bro my heart goes out to you i have an MPC 3000 i purchased brand new in 1994 and it was my second peice of equipment. It definitely was an inside job the average person couldn't care less about a drum machine; someone who knows the value and importance of that machine…stole it! You mentioned Bruce Forat he's a great dude and he worked on my MPC60. If I'm not mistaken he helped Roger Linn design the MPC3000. Again my apologies- only people who understand the connection one may have with history of a machine like the MPC300 will have empathy. Youll get another one no doubt.
Really sorry to hear this. Thats awful. Dont know whats worse losing the physical items or that feeling of being violated snd having to change the way you move.
Yo… sorry this happened to you. I’ve never seen any of your videos this just popped up but, I know the feeling. Sucks!! Stay positive and keep keeping on.
You have a great Channel brotha. Sorry for your loss it’s like loosing a piece of yourself. If you have renters insurance it may be covered. Like others I’d contribute to helping you get another one. You have a great channel. Stay on track even through this adversity.
Dang... Feel bad for you guy. But dont let that minor set back get the best of you... Everything material can be replaced to a certain point. You'll be alright...
Sup Eddie, I appreciate how you’re handling this. You ain’t lettin the theft and loss of it overshadow the experience you had with it. If I have anything left over from my used gear shopping I’ll send sup’m to your GoFundMe to help replace it.
This bothered me. Your vids are always helpful when it comes to getting in the zone for making music and not taking it too serious…. I can tell you really enjoy what you do and it’s great to see. Much respect to you and I’ll be supporting to get you back to the music.
Peace. I’ve only watched a handful of your vids but I have gotten value out of everything I’ve seen. Your outlook and mindful approach to this setback is commendable. I’m headed over to the go fund me now. I’m sure the beat maker community will help accelerate your comeback. Hopefully you’ll be back on the pads soon. Stay up. 👊🏾🫡
Damn! Sorry to hear it. I always had this fear. I keep my 3000 and SP-12 in storage because I'm primarily using the MPC-X right now. I'm being real selective about who I bring to my spot. Ya never know. Keep your head up bro. Praying for your strength to get through this.
People aint shit. Most of these dudes dont even have the patience to learn a 3000. Sorry to hear this man. Post those serial numbers just in case they try to sell it, we can be on the look out for it.
It is a terrible thing to happen Eddie and suspecting people you know is a horrible thing to carry, for them and for you. If it was anyone you knew, they will want to fade away from your circle of friends in fear of slipping up, so try not to be too paranoid by friends and get back to the music making as soon as possible. Not sure if it is an option but having the studio at home brings a few advantages but rooms are expensive.
Totally so sorry to hear this. I had an inside job studio robbery. They got my samplers ... computer speakers...etc i had like all the electribes which especially the sampler one had it's own charm. It's such a brutal specific feeling for us.Seeing your video title brought back those feelings in my gut.Im definitely down to chip in. Its definitely a catalyst.... kinda alchemical transformation moment which sucks and i didn't see it at the time but they left my turntable and records . I eventually got an mpc 500 and 1000 which was whole new era for me. God bless. 🙏❤️✌️
Glad to see people supporting! This proves that good vibes are alive and well. Even in a world where it seems scandalous people are constantly trying to get over. You’ll have a new setup in no time and an improved view of who gets close. After I got robbed by a so called friend in this exact situation I would tell myself, “if all it cost was a drum machine to get these type of people out of my life, I’m lucky!”
Such a shame, you’re gonna bounce back stronger, take time for yourself…. Thank God you’re in no harm… Peace, Security and prosperity to your new future space. Much thanks for sharing your creative sacred space… Peace up Bro. 👊🏾
Wowwww, I’m absolutely gutted for you. I’m so sorry. Sent you a lil something… Your chill, humble demeanor and positive energy have made this channel one of my favorites. Will miss watching you work but hopefully you’ll be back up and rocking in no time. 🫂
I am so sorry to hear your Story. Can‘t you just start a Campaign where we as Community can donate something? i mean over 300 People commenting here….that would be less than 15 bucks for each of us to fund a new MPC 3000 for you✨👍
Eddie, man it hurts me to hear that this happened to you in my town. (Berkeley). I wish you the best and I’ll send u some love on your GFM. I have a lab and perhaps we can work out a time trade where you can help me with a few mixes and you can use my Live2 at the same time to keep you creating. Keep doing your thing. -Pete, Phunkfarm
Fam I'm sorry to here that bro. It's messed up that people do ish like that man. People think they getting away with something but don't know karma will pay them back. You'll get it all back at some point and again fam, that sucks this happened to you bro. Peace and blessings to you moving forward...
My heart brakes for you. A machine like that is part of your soul. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that another one will find its way to you. 🙏
That is heartbreaking... i had a (much less expensive) sampler stolen from my space and.. just the violation you feel is sorta overwhelming. I'm gonna donate what I can so you can get up and running as soon as possible. Be sure to take as much time as you need to get your head right, sir.
So saddened to hear this news, so sorry this happened to you eddie, you inspire me a lot & I appreciate you heavily, I made a donation and I hope it can help out, be safe
*Sucks that happened to you man 😖The Universe will take care of those perps. However, You got a HUGE blessing 10 FOLD on the way to you right now 🙏 Be Ready . **#SALUTE*
i send prayers to you brother i’m from oakland as well and it’s just getting crazier and crazier everyday in the city i hope you find peace and bounce back my studio got broken into 8yrs ago it still got me noid and sad.
I have learned a lot from you and your content in the short time I have been subscribed. It's time for Me to pay it forward. Things will get better from here because this is one of those painful cycles of life. The equipment is gone but your Spirit can NEVER be stolen.
God bless Brother just remember the story of Job, may you be blessed three times more. You still have your health, your family is alright and things have a way of working out. Take care.
I remember like you, working hard at the time to get my hand on a Ricoh Gr1 (I'm a photographer). I've been robbed 3 month after and they took everything but my negatives. My computer, all my lenses, all my others cameras. Gone. At least I didn't lose all my work. It's tough to start over but it got me even more determination to do. Love your content, it's peace and shared knowledge is so important for people without money or education ressources. Keep up and stay up my friend
This is heartbreaking man! I’m just finishing my studio and that shit is always on my mind. That’s why I got myself cameras and a whole lot of boomsticks
We dont know each other, but i can relate! All the hard work, planning and saving. Going forward you gotta keep your circle tight! In my opinion, its always an inside job. Someone that knows your pattern- times of the day when ur not home. I wouldn’t invite anyone to my home if making videos is something you still want to do! Loose lips sinks ships 🚢 Alot of back stabbers- smiling in your face- all the time they want to take your place. Keep your head up. This is also one of my greats fears. Which is why i keep my TH-cam separate from my personal life. I dont show my face on my channel.
Yo man, I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you. I remember the first vid I seen of yours with the Allen & heath quasi mixer you had. Been watching ever since. I can tell that you’re a humble dude and it is disheartening to hear this happened. I will definitely donate. Would like to see you continue your craft and expand the knowledge that you already have. Bless up 🙏🏽
I’m sorry to hear this man, those thieves will get what’s coming to them. At least they can’t take your raw talent and I know you can bounce back from this.
I'm sorry that this happened. Your channel just popped up my feed so I subscribed. next one you get put an apple air tag in it or some sort of tracker. get cameras in your studio. I'll kick a few bucks to you to help out. People suck taking shit that isn't theirs.
I've had all my gear stolen in the past so I feel the pain. It's not just gear, it's a part of your soul but you will come out of this better than ever.
Guaranteed that it’s someone who has been in your studio to begin with that’s how they know what they want to steal!💯 Hope everything ends up on a positive note my brother I know the feeling I been there before!✌🏽
That’s not necessarily true. When ever something is stolen, usually an innocent is blamed or assumed. I know, because countless times in my life I’ve been the one blamed. Amazing, important, relationships to my life were destroyed, & evaporated right before my eyes, along with my mental health. Once people fear you, or are suspicious of you, they almost never hit the undo button. Seriously, like 95% of the time, they never truly change their mind, even when there is later evidence of innocence. I know. It’s nearly ruined my life.
I feel your pain. 5 years ago someone broke into my storage unit and cleaned me out of about 7k worth of gear and FOH equipment. Sorry to hear this brother!
damn bro! the studio getting hit is the absolute worst! Been in that situation twice actually with computers. Cant imagine dealing with it for hardware cause its all blood sweat n tears with um. Bounce back bro u aint got no choice but to do it!
This is absolutely horrible, been through something similar. Hope you get another one soon, it won’t be the same but hopefully another unit you can gel with. Watching from Hong Kong.
This is honestly my first time seeing you or your channel, but I wanted to express my condolences for what happened to you. It happened to me here in LA, not long ago, and I am still trying to replace everything that I lost. At least your insurance is kinda helping you, I had to file a civil claim, and still didn't get enough to even replace my mac pro, let alone all the rest of the gear that I lost, I lost my MPC 5000 then. And when the guys were caught, they were just deported back to their home. Stay strong, keep positive, steel sharpens steel, make sure you learn from this situation and make the necessary changes to prevent this from occurring occurring again.
Definitely in my feelings about this situation. Many quiet parts I wanna say out loud. I detest thievery. If you can’t earn it you shouldn’t have it. Thing is you can earn it . Some go to work and some go stealing. Better to go to work. Let us know what we can do Ed.
Dude, I am sorry this happened to you man. Your channel and work here is what inspired me to create my channel. Terrible news but I feel like things are going to be really great for you.
this video was randomly recommended to me and man it fuckn sucks to hear about this. your channel is really sic im like obsessed with old school hiphop so seeing those mpc beats in the other videos is like insanely good. sucks ass someone stole your shit man. one my biggest fears is someone coming in a destroying my shit like that. hope you can get something back or anything man hope things turn up for you
First time ever seeing your channel, man but we know how sentimental these machines hold and how meditative they can be. Hope everything from here on out is nothing but blessings brother. My advice would be to keep checking eBay, other listing sites and pawn stores in your area.
Dude, I feel you on this... I had my original 3000 for years and it was my favorite piece of gear. Not only did it get stolen but everything I owned got stolen with it. The thieves literally stole my moving truck when I was moving to another city. I had a studio but also about 2,000 original vinyl records too (the OG originals - before they even made reprints of vinyl). That felt like a stab to the heart for real. It hit me hard for a few years before I even thought about buying vinyl again. Eventually I got another MPC3000 but it's in storage since I'm about to move and start a new chapter in life. Seeing your vids adds to the inspiration to get back into making beats. Thanks for creating :)
@@eddieleonard6925 Thanks, I appreciate it. Yep I had a lot of irreplaceable vinyl. As you know, a lot of the vinyl has stories that are associated with them also - i.e. someone might have marked up the liner notes (which can be interesting) or maybe it's a rare pressing that is original but great condition, or something like a Japanese pressing. Or whatever... but that's something I've always liked about vinyl and collecting it as well.
This is heartbreaking man. I’m sorry this happened to you. I always worry about my space. It’s my spiritual temple. Worth more it personal and nostalgic worth than financial. As terrible this is maybe it will be the catalyst for exponential growth.
I was so down to hear you lost ur mpc, your one of my favourite channels and inspirational beat makers..sad you also lost the yamaha aswel..i like ur vibe on it...hopefully as you said it could be a blessing in disguise ✌️
please return this mans machine and equipment back to him
Yes Lord!!!
I'd be happy to contribute to the next MPC! I think RZA said his studio got flooded once. Life's crazy sometimes.
It did. In fact he had two floods. The earliest one destroyed the early albums and they had to be redone. Method Man's "Tical" was different from what was released. The second flood destroyed Inspector Deck's debut album. "Uncontrolled Substance" would've been a different album than what was released had that particular flood didn't happen.
It’s crazy bc Primo’s spot flooded too. Im going to contribute as well. Producers are resilient and need to stick together.
I’m willing to help as well. Bro
QTIP lost records in a house fire
RZA had two floods.
Brethren, I felt a gut punch reading the title. Indeed, a relocation is necessary. They got the MPC & Yamaha (damn). Hopefully, You'll be able to find a suitable replacement. Keep your head up. ✊🏾✌🏾
sorry to hear what happened man, hope the future looks up for you ASAP, and if theres anything i can do to help out, feel free to reach out 🫡
My soul was crushed back in the late 90s. My irresponsible brother left some of my DJ equipment and ALL of my CDs in his car (hundreds) for reasons unknown, was all stolen and pretty much ended my DJing, sampling, production career and it still kills me inside that I was never able to recoup and carry on my passion for music. People are scummy and don't understand those of us who use music in all aspects of our lives. It can ruin many. Keep your head up man...
I've had to rebuild my studio several times over the last 20 years. I went almost 8yrs without any way to make music and it sucked!!

Had the same happen to me in 2017 Portland, OR. After a night of gigging I ended up giving another DJ homie a ride home. Went in his place to piss, maybe 3 minutes max. Someone had popped my trunk and took all my gear from the car. Of course he lived next to a house with no power or heat that had squatters in it... Anyway he set up a gofund me for me it took just under 3 grand to get all of the same gear that was stolen back. I only missed one gig thanks to my DJ homies and just the general goodwill of folks in PDX, the gig I missed ended up being a benefit gig that raised the last 300 bux. Long story short the B.S. can only hold you back for a little bit. Keep your head up homie!!
real DJ's don't play CD's, no great loss bro
@@StanleyKubick1 wow...what a shit take for no reason. grow up....
@@StanleyKubick1 Real Djs use what they're given and dont bring negativity to the table my guy. ots about the music not the format, grow up
Homie, obviously don't know you but from all us beatmakers and producers out here, prayers 🙏 that God restores all that was taken and deals harshly with the culprits.

that sucks man. I can't stand a thief!!!!!!!!!!
Stay positive and bounce back harder

So sorry to hear this my guy! Thank God you and yours are okay (I think). Please keep going. Your story and work is alive. Much love form the UK
Guaranteed that it’s someone who has been in your studio to begin with that’s how they know what they want to steal!💯
Hope everything ends up on a positive note my brother I know the feeling I been there before!✌🏽
Dang, my bro, my studio was broken into and equipment stolen as well. Very painful and frustrating feeling, wishing you justice and recovery 🙏
your friend did it.....they're the one who truly know you and the value of your equipments

It's always those closest to you who wanna see you fall ....
That’s not necessarily true. When ever something is stolen, usually an innocent is blamed or assumed. I know, because countless times in my life I’ve been the one blamed. Amazing, important, relationships to my life were destroyed, & evaporated right before my eyes, along with my mental health. Once people fear you, or are suspicious of you, they almost never hit the undo button. Seriously, like 95% of the time, they never truly change their mind, even when there is later evidence of innocence. I know. It’s nearly ruined my life.
That’s terrible and hope people can club together to help out in some way.
Sorry to hear this 😢 this seems to be happening to a lot of TH-camrs lately. I hope your equipment gets recovered
Damn bro. I hope you get your gear back and some retribution. I’m sorry to hear that and i hope it’s not too much of a pain to relocate. Bless
Aw man 😔 this sucks 😕. I pray 🙏🏽 God bless you and your family to be in a better place.
That really sucks bro. I can't imagine the pain your feeling. Hopefully your able to bounce back stronger, sooner than later.
I feel your pain. 5 years ago someone broke into my storage unit and cleaned me out of about 7k worth of gear and FOH equipment. Sorry to hear this brother!
Just donated to you my guy.. Keep your spirit high ❤🎶
damn bro! the studio getting hit is the absolute worst! Been in that situation twice actually with computers. Cant imagine dealing with it for hardware cause its all blood sweat n tears with um.
Bounce back bro u aint got no choice but to do it!
This is absolutely horrible, been through something similar. Hope you get another one soon, it won’t be the same but hopefully another unit you can gel with. Watching from Hong Kong.
Sad to hear about that. Whoever has it will not be successful.
Man that is so rough, hope you get sorted soon
Damn bro, your page was definitely motivation for me to get back on my 3000 after the pandemic. Sorry to hear that man bless.
This is honestly my first time seeing you or your channel, but I wanted to express my condolences for what happened to you. It happened to me here in LA, not long ago, and I am still trying to replace everything that I lost. At least your insurance is kinda helping you, I had to file a civil claim, and still didn't get enough to even replace my mac pro, let alone all the rest of the gear that I lost, I lost my MPC 5000 then. And when the guys were caught, they were just deported back to their home. Stay strong, keep positive, steel sharpens steel, make sure you learn from this situation and make the necessary changes to prevent this from occurring occurring again.
Definitely in my feelings about this situation. Many quiet parts I wanna say out loud.
I detest thievery.
If you can’t earn it you shouldn’t have it.
Thing is you can earn it .
Some go to work and some go stealing.
Better to go to work.
Let us know what we can do Ed.
Dude, I am sorry this happened to you man. Your channel and work here is what inspired me to create my channel. Terrible news but I feel like things are going to be really great for you.
You will get some replacement gear and then some . Sending positive energy your way .
Send him some money... "positive energy"? Pleaseeee
@@RyanREAXyou must don’t know anything about the realm/ reality you decided to incarnate into .
this video was randomly recommended to me and man it fuckn sucks to hear about this. your channel is really sic im like obsessed with old school hiphop so seeing those mpc beats in the other videos is like insanely good. sucks ass someone stole your shit man. one my biggest fears is someone coming in a destroying my shit like that. hope you can get something back or anything man hope things turn up for you
Hi Eddie, man, I'm so sorry to read this, so much strength my friend. Cheer up and for new beginnings.
Sorry for your lost I’ve been there and never ever again forget that I things workout
I couldn’t believe the title. Damn my brother. You will rebuild and be stronger.
Gladly donate. Oakland is tough. Seems like thieving is a way of life up there. ✌️
I hope your new studio is even more blessed with beautiful creative vibes and freedom.
First time ever seeing your channel, man but we know how sentimental these machines hold and how meditative they can be. Hope everything from here on out is nothing but blessings brother. My advice would be to keep checking eBay, other listing sites and pawn stores in your area.
Dude, I feel you on this... I had my original 3000 for years and it was my favorite piece of gear. Not only did it get stolen but everything I owned got stolen with it. The thieves literally stole my moving truck when I was moving to another city. I had a studio but also about 2,000 original vinyl records too (the OG originals - before they even made reprints of vinyl). That felt like a stab to the heart for real. It hit me hard for a few years before I even thought about buying vinyl again. Eventually I got another MPC3000 but it's in storage since I'm about to move and start a new chapter in life. Seeing your vids adds to the inspiration to get back into making beats. Thanks for creating :)
I know it happened a long time ago but really sorry for that lost. I have a lot of vinyl too and some of it is literally irreplaceable.
@@eddieleonard6925 Thanks, I appreciate it.
Yep I had a lot of irreplaceable vinyl. As you know, a lot of the vinyl has stories that are associated with them also - i.e. someone might have marked up the liner notes (which can be interesting) or maybe it's a rare pressing that is original but great condition, or something like a Japanese pressing. Or whatever... but that's something I've always liked about vinyl and collecting it as well.
Happened to me. It hurts. You will never forget. But you will never stop.
This is heartbreaking man. I’m sorry this happened to you. I always worry about my space. It’s my spiritual temple. Worth more it personal and nostalgic worth than financial. As terrible this is maybe it will be the catalyst for exponential growth.
May Yahweh bless you brother im sorry for what happened to you., i have faith that you will bounce back 🙏
I was so down to hear you lost ur mpc, your one of my favourite channels and inspirational beat makers..sad you also lost the yamaha aswel..i like ur vibe on it...hopefully as you said it could be a blessing in disguise ✌️
You'll bounce back, brother! Hope to hear a LOT more music from you!
