All this was brand new information to me at the time. 10 years later and I could wax poetically about Mobb Deep and the classic shit they dropped, Hell on Earth being my favorite album of there's. Also been doing my own music and DJing, bought a lot of vinyl, absorbed so much history and it pretty much started with your channel.

    It was made by Pete Rock and samples Bob James “Nautilus” and I believe the same beat was used by Jeru the Damajas song “My Mind Spray”.
    Like I said hopefully you see this cause I think it’s a pretty cool beat tbh and your the man to do it!

      Listen to "To Pimp A Butterfly" by "Kendrick Lamar" or "508-507-2209", by "Joyner Lucas". I'd specifically recommend listening to "Keep it 100" and "I'm Sorry" from the Joyner project, and stop perpetuating this garbage sentiment that "Modern Hip-Hop suxx durrrr, I'm really close-minded" really stop that. music of all generations has bad music. I mean go listen to Rapping Duke I assure you he is not good the same story goes for David Banner. both rappers from your "golden era" who are complete trash. the fact is not every modern rapper is a mumbler. especially not since that's no longer the most popular genre of rap. it's all about the Conscious Rap and the Jazz Rap.

    You did a nice job there, i've been wondering for years how Havoc managed to make this beat. The thing that I admire the most in this song is the inspiration of Havoc to make this beat. I mean you knew how the song should sound like, Havoc had to make it without no example. But anyway thanks for the information and the remake!

  • @deconstructinghiphop
    @deconstructinghiphop  Před 12 lety +2

    Most of it was just playing with the high & low-pass filters for the sample. I believe I played with the low-pass filters on the drums. I'll see about posting a video response if I still have the footage I recorded when I was tweaking the sound (I usually edit that stuff out since it's a little tedious to watch).

    This is dope. Great job here! You should add the 808's that hit on each snare. They really add to the feel of the bass line. Makes it sound like there are more bass notes in the song than what's really there. Also "swinging" the piano sample will put the second half of it "more on-beat." This is dope nerd ish, for sure!
