- “I gotta get Funkadelic on em,” says Dame Grease, producer of crucial tacks for Mase, The Lox, and the whole Ruff Ryders camp. When Dame accepted Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette challenge, we knew we were in for a treat. Although he and his protege Swizz Beatz are known for a mostly sample-free sound, the Harlem-born and Bronx-raised producer can chop with the best of them. “Every producer knows you can look at the grooves and see where they thin out at,” Grease said while surveying three randomly selected vinyl albums. “That’s where the breakdown’s at.” Working his way through ‘Spinners Live,’ Jose Feliciano’s ’10 to 23,’ and ‘Romantic Swing’ by Eugen Cicero, Grease zeroed in on Feliciano’s 1969 version of ‘By the Time I Get to Phoenix’ because he used to live in Phoenix. “Let’s go straight to that,” Grease said, dropping the needle. “Groovy! That’s the one.” Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette to find out how Dame Grease flipped that joint like it was meant to be.

This man a legend French and Max Coke wave era was crazyy
too bad DMX shitted on him a few yrs back
Dame Grease bonified Beat Legend and Producer. He got it in and dressed the hell out of that loop!!! One of my favorite Producers!!!
This man is a legend!!!! Much respect!! DMX wouldn't be hot as he was in the 90s if it wasn't for Dame...
The man who gave birth to Swizz, salute Damon "Dame Grease" Blackmon. #129thLenox #HarlemUSA
Swizz is the worst producer in the history of hip hop. wack
@@djmrnelson Never a big fan of Swizz. 💯
Swizz is dope. This is about Dame though.
I seen Dame Grease name on here and automatic liked💯
Kinda sounds like it could be part of a film score. Good shit.
Best Rhythm Roulette in ages.
This was a dope episode. One of the few, that broke through some of the weaker ones over the past few months.
Dame Grease is very underrated,brother has hits under his belt that you can still bump in 2020

Bars&Hooks HipHopTV nah when I think of Dame Grease I immediately think It's Dark And Hell Is Hot/ Ruff Ryder's
I love that he didn't magically appear by the soul section of his record shop like a lot of these producers tend to.
lol...true
ya favorite producer favorite producer
Got to show this man some love he was the one who produce get at me dog by DMX, a classic!
Most underrated producer.. One of the GOATs
I know real heads know but I feel like Grease deserves way more credit than he gets. He’s one of the best producers in hip hop for the past 15 -20 years
This is one of the men who trained Swizz. Dame Grease is top notch !!
🔥🔥This reminds me of Goldeneye: 007 on the Nintendo 64🔥🔥
Sounds dope man!
make sure you check out Zandra Kaye, same 007 Golden Eye vibe
That game was the lick back in the day. Many sessions spent killing your friends. PP7 on deck.
I love all of Dame beats with Max B. Goon music
Dope layers.
This joint fire.

Fucking 90s and 2000s legend right here!
Genius
Living legend
1:03 giving away the sauce 👀
Dame grease is very underrated!!
Many years agp we opened for the Spinners. We got there early and set up our stuff. We got a great sound. When Slinners showed up, they wanted us to carry their gear and set it up, tune the strings. We were all seasoned road warriores in our 40s and 50s. We shook hands and went to get a bite to eat. 😁😁
This was a great one. A true master at work.
This is what THE 🌊🌊🌊 sounds/ sounded like !! Peace to Grease..also you can hear where Fraud got some inspiration
Dope!!wish yall played the track longer tho
Dame Grease ..Wave Gang . Vacant Lot ..Coke Wave...Ruff Ryders>>>Dame is the Man. Salute Brother!! 914
I swear niggas today dont know who this is Coke wave era is something we will never get again
I wish DMX was on this. Him and JCole, would be phenomenal. The contrast in style paired with how unique the beats are...both of their flows would eat off each other.
This was absolutely refreshing. Big up to Dame for this 1.
Dj Paul from three six mafia next

R.I.P. I can hear Chinx on here! 🙏🏾
This sounded like it was gonna be wack but ended up being really fresh. Props to Dame Grease! Underrated producer.
Made me a new fan. Flipped it right! Salute. Best one yet.
One of the more satisfying episodes in the past 4 or 5 much love to Dame!
I was itching to hit the thumbs down button when I saw he was simply looping and adding a basic trap hats. But I waited in case he flipped another album. But then he added the keys, and I was like "okay... wasn't expecting this... hmm". Then he added the strings "Ohh... staccato strings were completely left field and ill". He took what could've been a simple basic loop and turned it into a good track. Not a dope beat, but a good track, and there's a difference. It was musical and everything he added sounded organic to the sample. Very nice job, shit was musical, a great example of what can be achieved with a loop.
nothing wrong with looping
AfroBallin at all... Fuck he talmbout??? Half the samples that been samples been loops... Every sample doesn't get chopped....
Eh... not necessarily but it depends on 'how' it's done. Of course there's different factors that come into play here, but it tends to take less creativity/imagination/skill when it's a straight up loop and drums. On a show such as this we are expecting more from these participants. It aint just some random dude in his room on a laptop making beats. These are supposed to be producers with credits to their name. So the bar is higher. It's discouraging and a let down if a published producer simply loops and adds a generic drums. This dude made a good track, and showed what a loop SHOULD be like if one was to just loop.
On the flip side, I dislike when people chop and flip a sample beyond recognition which loses all melody/rhythm and simply sounds like a cocktail of different chopped sounds for the simple fact that they can jack off and say "I can chop and flip!!!".
andgar923 ahem *nas - the world is yours* is just a simple loop from a jazz song. I think it's ahmed jamal was his name?
Where is a link to your music? Show us how it should be done...please
Damn I flipped that Jose Feliciano Joint too lol
one of the best so far
How i not seen this one yet? I grew up in Dame Grease beats mayne 🙌🏾
beat fye asf give me the same vibe as Neighbors by cole.
Finally a real producer!! 🚨🚨🚨🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
This was one of my favorite episodes if not my favorite by far. Salute
Dope
One of the best in a long while. Fire sample and he did a great job with it. I need to find that album!
I liked this one!
Nice Work.
This was fire!!
dope! not too often lately i can sincerely give the thumbs up on mass appeal, this was dope, seems a dope dude too... thanks!
Ever since Justice League said some of the beats on here are pre-made I've been looking at all these episodes with the side-eye
too wavy can't wait to get on this level
Someone should do a video explaining the nuances of what makes a producer good. There's different types of producers with different styles and not all of them are good. Someone can have the craziest technical skills but no sense of musicality. On the flip side someone could be a technical idiot, but have a great ear and sense of rhythm and melody. I see comments on these vids in which producers that sample criticize producers that play instruments and vice versa. They're arguing 2 different styles for the most part, yet nobody has ever broken down, classified, and analyzed the different production styles/methods and what makes them good/bad. I.e.
Or a series that breaks down what makes certain producers elite. For instance, Preemo's ear for finding a sample in songs that most wouldn't. He has an ear that's unique and finds sounds that most wouldn't even think of and turns them into classics.
An episode can focus on Timbaland's sense of rhythm and melody. His usage of synths and sounds to create sexy, danceable, futuristic hits.
An episode that focuses on what distinguishes a good trap beat vs a generic one. We've all heard them, some of us criticize and dismiss them while some of us have eargasms when we hear the hi hats.
wow that was fire
we have to get the alchemist on here
MANUEL He said he won’t do it on Twitter
Things change
King Day Go ask and see if his stance changed
