Kendrick Lamar on Saturday Night Live (SNL)

Kendrick Lamar delivers a couple dope performances on Saturday Night Live on Saturday January 26, 2013.

Swimming Pools

Poetic Justice

Love this beat - "Morning Sun" by Vanilla

Stumbled upon this dope beat. Love the sample chops, the crackling vinyl, smooth drums. Makes me feel good, inspired and bounce.

Check out "Morning Sun" by Vanilla

The Blast - Talib Kweli - Live in Chile

Elaquent

I found out about Elaquent by surfing around on Soundcloud and Band Camp. This producer from Ottawa, Ontario makes soulful, electronic, smooth, night-cruising beats for days. I encourage you to give his music a try if you're down with beatstrumentals like I am.

You can now find him amongst a solid roster of beat producers on the Huh What & Where ("HW&H") Recordings.

Looking for a chance to see this dude live.

Check some of his tracks below.

Oh the first track that got me hooked was "Teddy Bear." Smooth - I love that bassline!

9TH WONDER INTERVIEW: The Art of Sampling

9th Wonder speaks on how he blew up in the game and the art of sampling. This is an old interview but its still relevant. 

At one point of the interview he challenges people that doubt the art of sampling and producing hip-hop to take the "Today" by Tom Scott and recreate "Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock and CL Smooth.


Here's "Today" by Tom Scott

I'm starting a collection of Maschine tutorials

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I'm going to start making beats again. Well, I never truly started - I just got a taste of it really.

One of my favourite things to do is scour YouTube for tutorials and tips from other Maschine and amateur beat producers. There's some really good ones out there and I am going to start posting the ones that I find useful.

Hit me up if you find any great Maschine or beat production videos in your journey.

Peace!

Diana (10 years old) shows her MPC skills

I just stumbled on this video. I wish I was playing on an MPC at 10 years old. I hope she keeps this up.

Common Sense. New Album Coming December!

I. Can't. Wait.

White Girls Rapping.

It's 12:15am and I should be taking going to bed so I am fresh and ready to work my 9-to-5 tomorrow morning, but I can't. I'm trapped watching an endless stream of YouTube videos of new age, white girls rapping. Say what?!?!

It's cool hip-hop continues to bring more people into the culture and all. I'm not going to lie, this is still kind of weird and new to me. However, I can't lie, these ladies are pretty talented. Listening to their flow they would give some of the reigning female hip-hop/pop stars a run for their one million (+) iTunes sales. For real! Look past the crazy schtick or what ever they're saying they represent and listen their flow. SOLID!

Check out the following videos...

IGGY AZALEA

 

KREAYSHAWN

 

GIRL RAPPER

 

Justin Bieber Rapping (NOT Freestylin')

New video of Bieber rapping over Kanye West and Jay-Z's "OTIS" from Watch the Throne. He actually sounds pretty good and he flow is on point. I hate saying that.

Oh, he's not freestyling. Check it.

I'm Back...

Alright, I'm back and ready to start posting more music, art, etc.

I haven't made a beat in a long time... here's something that I posted on my soundcloud a while ago. Still need a lot of work before I can say I'm proud of what I'm creating. You have to start somewhere and work your way up, right?

Anyone stumbling across this let me know what you think.
