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.

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!

New Beat - Soul Departure


I just started experimenting with making my on beats in 2011.

I had to tear the setup down in the summer of 2011 after a few months of learning the basics on how to use Reason and Machine. I just unpacked and setup all of my gear in the new crib. Finally, after 9 months, it's time to get back into it.

I'm new and rusty at the same time, so I'm looking for some constructive advice on how to get better. Holla!

More beats are coming. Thanks for listening.
