Mannnnn brutha!!! You are one my greatest inspirations!! Don't stop making vids. You are teaching folks how to put real music on banging beats. God bless you brutha!
I love how this track started with that urban feel for the streets then took on the orchestral feel with the very nice chord choices and harmonies within the chords.Took a whole new life and direction. Another great vid...
@Ambassador1 Hey, been a fan of your vids for quite some time now, found ur beats to be just freaking amazing. Anyways I deeply love music especially old school rap and hip hop and im really interested into learning how to make some beats and maybe even a song. So first question: What do i exactly need to start making beats? What do I Need to know about things like the MPC? Do you recomend any specific book or video to check out before i do this? What MPC do you recomend i use? Thanks in advance
Thumbs up if yall hear a Pac and MJB duet on this 1--B Cox did again w/a gutter, raw, soul joint. Bass/guit stab/chop with the stiff, raw drums give it a hard street vibe. the strings and paino add a nice melancholy feel--that ONLY Mary and Pac would do justice to!
what kontakt program were you using to give you that piano sound. I have a few kontakt piano sounds but they all sound to brittle... like the Vienna and NY grand by native instruments... even the Best Service Galaxy Vintage D sounds brittle! P.S I almost gave up on the video when it was just the chops playing!
How long did it take you to learn piano? I'm learning now but it's daunting but your videos are really inspiring to keep going. Thank you B. Cox....much love.
Brian I'm kind of new to the whole producing thing was wondering if you had any advice on how to sample for an Akai 2000 MPC. Really would love your help on this much appreciated.
Listening to the samle sounded like that Jay-z and Kanye Song at 1st, I'm like man how is he going to turn this into an RNB song?! And of course he did and it sounds GREAT.
hey B Cox just have to ask a question can u do something like this for the 3000 cause yur boy is having trouble with chopping samples in the 3000 holla back at your boi and u right the back of that 3000 get HOT.....lol
What's good B? First let me say, you are truly an inspiration. Troy Taylor put me onto you years ago when I was working under him, and Charles( The Characters ). Although I never met you, I still look at you as one of my mentors. I just wanna say Thank You.. Now, my question is How are you getting the MPC to trigger logic? It never worked that way for me. Logic had to be the master.
The sample track was cool, but that track at the beginning of the video! There's so many avenues you can go vocally on a record like that. Real grown. I can hear Keisha Cole over that. Even Trey Songz would kill that joint as long as it's written and vocally produced the right way so that the artist and the track compliment each other. **Side note** that clap sounded like a gun shot. Nice reverb and mix to it. I wonder if Sam I Am mixed that track..?
Thanks i've been hesitant on learning seeing that im a sample based producer nd i have notice its becoming much more common. Its just sacirificing time from listening for samples to learn it
as far as industry standards go if your a sampling producer, Do you think learning the piano is necessary to excel. Im consciousof your work and eveything you have done over the decade...this beat too dope like a lot of your work

It's good to see someone I really respect in the game process some heat from beginning to end! Dope stuff man!
You're a legend and an inspiration, one of my all-time favorites. Keep it moving and God bless.
That bassline still gets me to this day
so glad you are back to making vids
first it sounded like a hiphop track .. then when the bass comes in with the strings..it morphed into a rnb track.... gotta love it.
Bryan is a beast when it comes to R&B. A true inspiration.
@Ambassador1 thanks alot not only for this, but being an inspiration to myself and other producers/songwriters around the world
This beat is tough as hell.. Good stuff my friend.
Yo B.Cox, you're the man !! Started with the sample at 1:55 and ended with a BANGER !!
this is what we need mr cox, a beatmaking videos,and surely we can use a lil tips and tricks from yourself
WOW, sounded super crazy in the end!
I really love the slow jam in the beginning of the video.
Great to see you post videos again B. Cox - I'm really missing "The Studio Exposed".

That's hot B...always an inspiration.
You are really talented bro, ima make sure i follow you.
I respect great talent and feed off of it as well. Keep up the great work!

The bassline is sick!!!
what kontakt program were you using to give you that piano sound. I have a few kontakt piano sounds but they all sound to brittle... like the Vienna and NY grand by native instruments... even the Best Service Galaxy Vintage D sounds brittle!
P.S I almost gave up on the video when it was just the chops playing!
Holy shit...those cords really took it to the next level...aka the meat and potatoes
B.Cox just amazin' !
0:00 - 0:35 - Now that's what I call GOOSE-BUMP music !! Damn ..... (Amazing Man)
How long did it take you to learn piano? I'm learning now but it's daunting but your videos are really inspiring to keep going. Thank you B. Cox....much love.
Brian I'm kind of new to the whole producing thing was wondering if you had any advice on how to sample for an Akai 2000 MPC. Really would love your help on this much appreciated.
Im a huge fan! Good Job!
Perfect ....Big Talent Mann...Respect
Please tell me you will give this to Monica B-Cox. I know she would be amazing on this track
That kick was slapping hard, dope keys and strings, was massively distorted audio though.
I just witnessed magic.
when recording an mpc since it needs two output cables when i record in protools or cubase do i need to open two stereo tracks?
Yo Brian why didnt u just do the whole beat in the mpc 5000?
Pulchritudinous Beat ! the Method was un Orthodox but summed up a few ideas for me ! Usefull ..Teacher !
@4:26 😱. The perfect hip hop track, before it turns into RnB
Listening to the samle sounded like that Jay-z and Kanye Song at 1st, I'm like man how is he going to turn this into an RNB song?! And of course he did and it sounds GREAT.
Love to see you working on the MPC. I definitely wanna cop one. That or either the NI maschine.
sounds bloody fly!
@Ambassador1 Hey u work with my cousin Ira Folston, huh?!
Perfect for Jay Z, just my opinion.
hey B Cox just have to ask a question can u do something like this for the 3000 cause yur boy is having trouble with chopping samples in the 3000 holla back at your boi
and u right the back of that 3000 get HOT.....lol
great video. like always much inspiration. i will def share
0:00 - 0:35 - Now that's what I call GOOSE-BUMP music !! Damn ....
that song in very beginning of the vid is fiya!
wow!... simply amazing... x
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT KONTAKT SOUND B COX WAS USING TO PLAY THE PIANO... PLZZZZZZZZ
dope as fuck.
@Ambassador1 ok Dope man, lookin forwards seeing u make a beat with the mpc5000....
Sick bassline!!!!
The beat in the beginning is sick
How can I get the track? I have a song for it.
How are you recording from a VST directly into the MP?
What's good B? First let me say, you are truly an inspiration. Troy Taylor put me onto you years ago when I was working under him, and Charles( The Characters ). Although I never met you, I still look at you as one of my mentors. I just wanna say Thank You.. Now, my question is How are you getting the MPC to trigger logic? It never worked that way for me. Logic had to be the master.
What's the name of that song in the intro!
whats the name of the intro beat/song ????
This came out nice
This should be the Theme Song for a Movie.
bass line sounds nice too
Do you sync your Mpc to logic via midi ??? or is that pro tools?
cool keep doing ya thizz....I would have rode on it with the sample,claps and beat...just flippn to it ya diggz
Is That Komplete that youre using?
One day I hope to get the chance to work with the great BMC... If I do, that means I will have made it as a producer..
B. Cox, I love you!!! I know you're sound so well, I can namedrop ya when I hear ya :).
Did you still using your old MPC 4000?
The sample track was cool, but that track at the beginning of the video! There's so many avenues you can go vocally on a record like that. Real grown. I can hear Keisha Cole over that. Even Trey Songz would kill that joint as long as it's written and vocally produced the right way so that the artist and the track compliment each other. **Side note** that clap sounded like a gun shot. Nice reverb and mix to it. I wonder if Sam I Am mixed that track..?
dope B!
BM Cox is foreva
Thanks i've been hesitant on learning seeing that im a sample based producer nd i have notice its becoming much more common. Its just sacirificing time from listening for samples to learn it
hay... are you recording the keys into your mpc or are you just recording the midi ?
Inspiration!!!

Nice bro..subbed
as far as industry standards go if your a sampling producer, Do you think learning the piano is necessary to excel. Im consciousof your work and eveything you have done over the decade...this beat too dope like a lot of your work
I need every sample from 4:04 to 4:25 on my hard drive ASAP
F*ckin sick!
