|
Just give me a sec, I gotta make some beats |
|
Yo, plug that in over there |
|
Turn on the turntable, let the needle touch the record |
|
I'll find the right sound, Im used to coping under pressure |
|
You dig, you look, you skip tracks and skip back |
|
Take pieces of old music, mix match, and flip tracks |
|
After that you spit rap, to get ads, and hit ass |
|
Yo wait, whats that, ya the piano part, bring it back |
|
Ya, ya thats it right there |
|
Now let me loop that in the sampler, piano piece caught my ear |
|
Gimmie a sec, nothin better than a piano loop |
|
Let me get this perfect, let me pitch it up a bit |
|
A little faster might be worth it |
|
Ya, ya, ok, 73 beats per minute, it still dont loop right |
|
Let me try it 74, and that should make it loop tight |
|
There we go, now this sample bumpin hard |
|
Soundin like mythotical fairytales, or somethin dark |
|
It's giving me ideas already, the moods, the melody |
|
Oh shit, Im losin track, wait, the beat still needs developing |
|
Alright, I got my sample, so now I need a drum kit |
|
Let me try out this one kick, ya thats somethin I can run with |
|
Now I figure out a pattern like running plays and maddin |
|
Let the kicks sit on the sample, make magic like Aladdin |
|
And now I need a snare, so let me try this here |
|
Nah, its too dirty, the kick's too clear, it doesnt mix right |
|
So let me try this rim shot, a little bit of hand clap, to give it a touch of hiphop |
|
Ok, that kinda work, ya I like that |
|
Maybe add some cymbals, nah fuck it, dont need no high hat |
|
But maybe add a shake of somethin slick and smooth like (sound) |
|
Loop that, cut it, and make it move right |
|
Ok I need a joint |
|
Yo pass that over |
|
Just one puff |
|
Just wanted to get something in my head, you know |
|
Take me somewhere else before I drop this back |
|
Ya I drop the drum now, listen how the drum sound |
|
It's almost there, but this aint done, and I aint tryin to jump the gun now |
|
Track is soundin ripe, but I aint finished man, this take time |
|
Still adjustin levels and gotta filter out the baseline |
|
Like, just turn the highs way down, there we go |
|
Now I got my base sound, drop the beat again |
|
Ya that soundin better now, drum is soundin crisp |
|
Base is thick, ya the base is thick so now what could I lace wit it? |
|
Guess I'll put a change in it, rearrange a bit, add some things |
|
And take you to another place wit it, music is moods |
|
Dont matter how its produced, dont matter what tool you use |
|
Or the instruments that you choose (nope) |
|
It's all about listen, I can switch right quick |
|
From laid back, to hype shit |
|
Wit a drum roll, crash, and a tight kick |
|
Bring back the piano, switch between your two samples |
|
Turn up the clap, and piano shakers to the left channel |
|
Ya its workin, almost sound complete |
|
But I probably wont be using it, Jordan, you want this beat? |
|
[Jordan Croucher:] |
|
Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out |
|
Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down |
|
And I know, oh shit, yo yo hold on, hold on, hold on |
|
Let me get that back, hold on, hold on |
|
Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out |
|
Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down |
|
And I know, that this could be the sound, oh ya |
|
Ya, ya that'll do it |
|
Something like that yo |
|
Aight |
|
We'll do somethin like that, thats the riff right there |
|
I'm feelin that man, thatll work |
|
Ya, ya |
|
Aiight I'll finish this beat up, I'll burn it off for ya |
|
Just give me a couple more minutes |
