  • For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal headed to the studio with Thes One.
    As part of the beloved west coast duo, People Under The Stairs, Thes One was responsible for some some of the underground hip hop's smoothest Cali vibes.
    Thes One walks out of the record shop with Orquesta Conexion Latina, Joanna Gardner's self-titled album, and the Modern Jazz Quartet's The Sheriff. He gets right to work with his notepad and equipment, ripping various parts of Joanna's songs for the ultimate lounge music creation. He didn't expect to find anything on the "shitty" record but found the drums and melody strictly from Ms. Gardner. Thes One set out to only use parts of the records for his beat (no added outside drums) and he prevailed. Watch him craft your next morning-routine theme song above.

    that's actually pretty good. everybody is able to make a hot beat using one soul record an chop it, like for example 9th wonder did on rhyhtm roulette (dunno why is considered one of the best episodes, no disrispect), but using ALL the records and combine ALL the samples picked up to make one beat is pretty damn hard, and he, like on the other hand marco polo (the best episode so far in imho) did it well.

    • @TheMattmatic
      @TheMattmatic Před 8 lety +3

      Marco Polo and Black Milk are my two favourite episodes, because turning garbage records into heat is for me the most impressive thing you can do with sampling. That's also why I think Rhythm Roulette should be strictly dollar bin records, not like the newest Sharon Jones album or a Daft Punk compilation...

    • @Jocelyn_Jade
