Even Jay Dee said that one of the big reasons he stayed in the basement making records when he was younger was because he wanted to be like Pete. He wanted to be as dope as he was, the sound he was making. When he said that to Pete Im sure Pete said Man, you are the producer im trying to be. 2 Greats that by the grace of God found each other through the music. Onelove ya feel me!
Pete Rock would never say he’s trying to be like Dilla, EVER!!! Please know that. He loved J’s talent and his work, and could have even been inspired by him, but if you’re leading a race, you’re never gonna slow down and jog behind someone that’s trailing you. J. Dilla is one of the ABSOLUTE GREATEST producers ever!!! Upper echelon!!!! And yet he still is not on Pete Rock’s level
@@jammyjam353 that very debatable. But remember that sometimes being the best means being prolific. J Dilla is one of the most prolific producer out there...there's a lots of J Dilla beats out there and some of them never been heard b4. Even 9th Wonder I don't think he's on Pete and Dilla's level, but because he put out so many great stuff..he's becoming a legend. I can vouch for both Pete and Dilla..sometimes I get confused who i like the most. But to sum it all up, Pete needs to release all those beat he keeps making.. I don't think there's a producer in New York who has found some of the rarest records than Pete Rock. Pete Rock is serious record digga.
Sampling/ crate digging is a damn art and should be honored. I mean, look at all the old artists' records that have been completely forgotten over time and thanks to producers like this they're being brought back to life and are being remembered.
Yo, I copped "Mecca And The Soul Brother" on cassette (dating myself) when it came out. I can still see myself chilling in the food court, unwrapping the plastic from the tape, popping it into my Walkman and soaking it all in. Looking back, that was probably a turning point in my life. Hip Hop was going to be my future.
Greatest feeling to buy a tape and pop it in the walkman or tape deck we came up in an amazing era the smell of a new cassette was euphoric and intoxicating 💯🔥🙌
Pete Rock is the man! Digging in the crates reminds me of break hunting with the legendary Tony D AKA Harvey Walbanger. May he Rest in peace. Big up to real hip hop and beat making!

That "Its A New Day" song on the Skull Snaps record revolutionised hip hop drums in general. Countless songs used It as either key or integral parts of the beat. Thanks Fuse for this great video. Peace.
The dopest MCs all were interviewed up in the books named *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. Everybody from Mobb Deep to Hieroglyphics to Pharcyde, to Kool G Rap, Chuck D, Black Moon, and Big Daddy Kane were interviewed, and others.
Making beats , shows you that there is infinite possibilities and there is no limits infinite thoughts , you can make thousands of different beats from same sample.
My life long dream is to inherit Pete Rock’s vinyl collection!!! At that point I’d retire everything in my life & like a monk only live my life diggin & samplin, for no reason whatsoever, just a daily routine.
Man, I respect you all legends out there, for digging and producing fine fold out of golden stuff, but can't imagine myself collecting so many records. I just want to open that FL Studio or Reason and do some synth beats and find my happiness in 1-2 hours out of my time. BUT, I ADMIRE YOU CRATE DIGGERS - YOU THE REAL ART REPRESENTATIVES AND BECAUSE OF YOU, REAL HIP-HOP IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE TO BE (Peace and unity, no beefs and roasts or pop and corns).
I think Crate Diggers should do a "Making Of LP Episode". For example, for NaS "ILLMATIC". Interview each producer and have them speak in detail about how they met NaS, the process behind finding the sample,producing the beat and recording the song and how they felt once it made the final track listing. This would also be cool for "READY TO DIE" and "REASONABLE DOUBT".
It just occurred to me that Pete Rock is Tyler the Creators dad. I was looking at pic for the video thinking "Huh, Pete Rock looks kinda like an old Tyler" and then when he talked it hit me. Get these niggas on Maury
I love Pete and Prem, but I think Pete is THE mastermind when it comes to music. I think there`s NO producer and there`s never been a producer who has that much knowledge of music. Pete is def. #1 when it comes to knowledge and experience!!!!
This is a dope series. But I really wish they could spend more time with each artist. I would love for them to play some of the records, maybe two or three of their famous samples and two or three others that they didn’t sample. I understand that the producers don’t want to give up some of their unused germs, but anything that they would be comfortable playing for the viewer would be dope.
Agree with Jooseok. Don't forget Ayatollah, Marco Polo, Large Professor, DR Period, Clark Kent, Satik Selektah and Lil Fame (from M.O.P.), Diamond D. Have the illest lyricists just shuffle between all these guys beats... Man I will be in Hip Hop heaven.
Great videos! Please do a feature on Diamond D & DITC. The samples he used and music he produced on his classic Stunts Blunts & Hip Hop is a treasure chest worth revisiting. Thx!
The Inventors of Techno...Juan Atkins, Derrick May & Kevin Saunderson aka "The Belleville Three". Oh & Jeff Mills as well. I'd love to see their collections! Peace.
Who could not like Pete Rock? For fuck's sake this is the man J Dilla looked up to. That's like Hercules and Zeus man; they're both gods. Mad respect man.

Well Stated 💯
Just started my collection on September 6th already 50 albums deep
Please get Madlib to do one of these!
Pete is the one who started that echoing saxophone technique that many hip hop songs used back in like 1992-96.
Word. It became a staple after he introduced it.
This should have been an hour long joint with Pete yo!
guess from somewhere where you know what's right
@@johnreder8167 word
Yeah, this was crazy short.
this is fucking beautiful.. i love seeing people be immersed in their passion
Pete Rock needs to get back with C.L. Smooth. They've been apart for 26 years already, word is bond.
Well... you probably mean “record wise”. Because 2017 they were on Tour together.
Lol
Pete you're the best, but your eyes tell me you're tired every single day from all that hard working.
it's hard being a triple threat (hes a dj, rapper and producer)
Neh. Dude looks faded
Ain't nothin wrong with gettin weeded.

Music Power was the same for me..
Greatest feeling to buy a tape and pop it in the walkman or tape deck we came up in an amazing era the smell of a new cassette was euphoric and intoxicating 💯🔥🙌
I know that feeling!
He could stack every record on top of each other, he would still be higher.
Bless to the god...but damn Pete...u was wild blunted on this one brother
Pete Rock is the man! Digging in the crates reminds me of break hunting with the legendary Tony D AKA Harvey Walbanger. May he Rest in peace. Big up to real hip hop and beat making!
Still one of the best to ever do it. Even his Petestrumentals are headnod certified.
pete rock, greatest of all time

This video is making me want to go digging again.
Props to Pete.
That "Its A New Day" song on the Skull Snaps record revolutionised hip hop drums in general. Countless songs used It as either key or integral parts of the beat. Thanks Fuse for this great video. Peace.
cmon dude, six minuts for pete?
Exactly my thoughts, should of had at least 20 minutes. You know pete was just gettin started!!
shoot put up the outtakes!
It was either six minutes or all fukn day. Ain't nobody got all fukn day.
I got all day for the culture.
I love Pete Rock!! He is my favorite producer and such a cool, humble dude. Much respect to you Pete, you the best!!!
I really miss the jazz element in hiphop music. Pete Rock was known for this and thats why I love him as a producer, he's also a great rapper as well.

aint heard of them books todd.

That beat that was playing when Pete was talking about the Skull Snaps album...whoa!!!
Do you know the name of the beat or which song it's from?
One of the GOATS
RIP Heavy D, didnt realize he was Pete's cousin
One of the best beatmaker the hip hop had known
I wanna see Madlib, Alchemist, or Preemo come on and do one of these episodes
+HOgburn Innit, they need stretch and bobbito on too
My life long dream is to inherit Pete Rock’s vinyl collection!!! At that point I’d retire everything in my life & like a monk only live my life diggin & samplin, for no reason whatsoever, just a daily routine.
The music for this episode was PERFECT!!!
I gotta step my vinyl game up, Luckily between my dad and my aunt I have alot of funk and soul i can borrow.
Crazy collection. Need that skullsnap vinyl.
Be Franky I said the same thing brother.
damn, thats pretty annoying that its warped. but red is very stylish, congrats man
This is one of my favorite crate diggers episodes, what a lovely geezer!!
T.R.O.Y. is a stone cold classic. Never forget. Pete is an OG
When interviewer off camera asks what kind of music is on skull snaps lp = fired!

Bring this show back
EPMD - It's My Thing Pete Rock, you're one of the best producers in the history of Hip Hop. Respect for life brother.
Much RESPECT. Seeing this collection, makes my 2k look tiny.
Bought 2 original 12" copies of "reminisce' back in 91'. Thank you Pete! Have lots of your records!
The added information about who else used the sample is really an excellent idea.
HA. Glad to help. Thanks for supporting the series. We got more on the way.
Pete Rock will forever be a HipHop Legend!!!!!
"Oh Pete Rock, raw as I ever been (horn hit) bim!
Give me room so I can speak about the skins...

Lmaoo at his shock when the guy asked what kind of music the skull snaps record is
what's the beat that starts @ 3:29 ?
that beat at 3:30 really caught me
It just occurred to me that Pete Rock is Tyler the Creators dad. I was looking at pic for the video thinking "Huh, Pete Rock looks kinda like an old Tyler" and then when he talked it hit me. Get these niggas on Maury
haha he's absoloutely not the father of that stupid POS
This is the best youtube comment I've ever seen. hahahaha

Pete Rock is the Greatest
Easy Mo Bee, DJ Premier, Erick Sermon, Biz Markie
Looks like my Bat Cave at home. Go to Ikea and invest in some shelves. Get that vinyl outta those crates and off the floor. P. Rock is da man.
one of the best that ever did it
Sick video. Thanks. Pete has a nice taste god damn. Love his instrumental albums! No.1 no doubt.
ONE OF THE BEST!!!
Yeah, I feel exacty the same way. Most people have no clue and those that do,don't really understand.
I love Pete and Prem, but I think Pete is THE mastermind when it comes to music. I think there`s NO producer and there`s never been a producer who has that much knowledge of music. Pete is def. #1 when it comes to knowledge and experience!!!!

Who could not like Pete Rock? For fuck's sake this is the man J Dilla looked up to. That's like Hercules and Zeus man; they're both gods. Mad respect man.
