  • For this edition of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal linked up with Salaam Remi.
    Getting his first taste of studio work with Kurtis Blowe, Salaam Remi was destined to work with some of the greats like Nas, Amy Winehouse, Fugees (The Score), Ini Kamoze ("Here Comes The Hotstepper"), Jurassic 5, and more. He's also worked on soundtracks for films like Office Space, Zoolander, The Departed, and Blood Diamond. He's most recently been working with Bodega Bamz, Joell Ortiz, and Nitty Scott as No Panty.
    After hitting up A-1 Records, Salaam ends up with George Faith's Soulful, Danny La Rue in London, and The Who's Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. Putting his faith in George Faith, he finds the backbone of his beat and then pulls some samples from the others. Joell Ortiz also makes a short cameo to comment on the work-in-progress beat. Watch the full creation process above.

  • @shamsta19
    @shamsta19 Před 7 lety +150

    i love reading the comments.. ppl forget the x factor in these episodes. u have to pick 3 records blindfolded! these cats have to work with what they are given. everyone always quick to critique the beat critique the craftsmanship! if ur not learning anything from watching this series ur not producing. jus my two cents. i enjoyed this rr too.

      did he get weak records? no. did he made weak beat? yes.

    • @freshestinclass763

      Sha Dot truth be told I doubt most of these people even make beats... just make opinions.

    • @shamsta19
      @shamsta19 Před 7 lety +3

      and even if u think he got good samples maybe he didn't feel the same everyone's ear is different as well

    • @TYG455
      @TYG455 Před 7 lety +3

      Word! I watch these to learn new things about production so i can adapt my own style of production.Mostly everyone is here for the beat, but some of us are here for the artistry that goes with makin these dope beats.

  • @LordJesusIsGodAmen
    @LordJesusIsGodAmen Před 7 lety +176

    I respect his skills to the fullest but this beat is a throwaway

      @jnesta5912 Před 7 lety +34

      99% of the beats on here are throwaway...dudes aint choosing to make the beat its a challenge. You gotta be some kind of hero to make a album ready track from random records in one session

    • @TheMattmatic
      @TheMattmatic Před 7 lety +8

      Yeah but Black Milk and Marco Polo (among others) had WAY worse records than this to work with and still made beats that could be on an album for sure.

    • @LordJesusIsGodAmen
      @LordJesusIsGodAmen Před 7 lety +17

    • @SeboHyatt
      @SeboHyatt Před 7 lety

      Iono it's not too great but I feel like this is mixtape material. Like it won't be the greatest but it definitely does the job.

    @xkidmidnightx Před 7 lety +41

    Sick. This is what it's about. Used the records. Not tons of synth shit over a bad loop. No jacking from the funk section. Creative sampling. Good stuff.

    This dude's given us classics from The Fugees - Nappy Heads [Remix] to Nas' God's Son album, which is my favorite Nas album after Illmatic. His end result was a decent beat, but nothing mind blowing. Respect.

    Why is hip hop so full of trolls? Been following Rhythm Roulette and there's not a single producer not getting flak from some "Mr. Nobody" that prolly can sell a beat to the neighborhood high school rapper. Is it just a culture of badly brought up kids that can't respect leaders and elders?

    @blkgostnone4092 Před 7 lety +1

    Finally someone who actually cut on the main board/screen....usually consoles are used as laptop rests or just basic backdrops for the video. Thank you for showing that there are producers who ACTUALLY have some knowledge of the equipment they're around (unless Mass Appeal just always edit those scenes out). I guess having equipment around you gives you "street cred" as a producer lmao

    Fools in this thread that don't realise that's the best that'll sit on Salaams HDD for 2 years, get remembered, then worked on again and probably turned into a masterpiece. Anyone that's spent time in the loop will also tell us that vocals fill up the empty space in a track and turn a repetitive loop into something interesting.
