| 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 ain’t done, and I ain’t tryin to jump the gun now
|
| Track is soundin ripe, but I ain’t 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 won’t be using it, Jordan, you want this beat?
|
| 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, that’ll work
|
| Ya, ya
|
| Aiight I’ll finish this beat up, I’ll burn it off for ya
|
| Just give me a couple more minutes |
