Erick Sermon is one of the best to ever do it, but for some reason he never shows up on any "Greatest Producers" lists. Shout out to Mass Appeal for making this happen.
Once he loaded the samples & started playing himself, his eyes lit up like a kid at a candy store. He’s very creative! This was great to watch. Brilliant dude!
Erick has a youthful spirit.... A legend and originator in HIP-HOP 30yrs plus and just look at bruh in this video handling these albums to sample, "E" looks like a kid in a candy store. GOD BLESS ERICK SERMON!!!!!!
I love it when they actually pick randomly, the beats come out much more creative like this one. It seems like sometimes the producers go to their favorite section and choose what they’re comfortable with.
+Oso Flocka Flame he's talking about in the context of sampling, not the value of the music, itself. he's saying it's "nothing" in terms of sampling, b/c guys like him come from looking on the back to see who the musicians are, the record label, the engineer, all sorts of things that let a producer know there's likely to be long instrumental sections, drums with little or nothing over them, that kind of thing.. a Shelia Easton record isn't gonna have that. thats all "nothing" means, here. I do think producers got too stuck on a certain kind of record. there's something to the science they had/have down, with what to look for.. but really, you can find something useful on just about anything if you flip it right. RZA knew, thats why you have the Underdog (a cartoon about a superhero dog) sample on 36 Chambers. but most producers still javent caught up with that cat.
It's easier to just pull up your favorite synth instruments go into your head laying down tracks and go to town and maybe pepper like one sample over it. Actually trying to use wild sounds is a challenge because you don't get to have it perfect.
The main base the *woon woon* is half a second from Sheena Easton prisoner, the whole song is almost rock. This half second Erick turn into a soulful base for the song. Genius
This is one of the realest RR episodes. He didn't have those easy records most others somehow seem to find blindfolded;) Still managed to knock out a distinct and dope Erick Sermon beat.
He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as one of the best to ever do it. In addition to being a top soul man, he is also a rugged and sturdy individual. This man cannonballed from a 10 story balcony, landed on his chest. Got up dusted himself off. Took a second to admire his impression in the concrete. Jumped in his wide body Benz. Drove himself back to Brentwood, like “What Son”! This man is the Chuck Norris of Rap. Cheers mates!
Erick sermon One of the best at sample chopping and composing beats with samples. Along with DJ Premier and Pete rock. This man is inspirational! Yo Erick.. I salute you brother! I love that production set up as well.. Just like mine simple and effective!
Yes....Their first three albums were produced on similar equipment....Listen to the rawness of those albums......a dubbed mixtapes and the tape recorder next to the radio
@@VincentsVideoVisions Agreed, I see them for sale all the time and I recently picked up the ES6 for 400 bucks. However, I thought Erick would chop it up on the MPC or something like that, not the Motif but I'm pleasantly surprised.
Erick Sermon and El-P's Rhythm Roulettes are probably the two that I can say that even though the beats were thrown together quick using records they didn't want, they both came out completely in their own extremely recognizable sound. They are probably two of the best beats created in this series as well.
What E did on Tonight's Da Night remains the GOAT in his catalog, and infectious as it gets. Seeing how he approaches this challenge to spin straw into gold is equally as inspiring.
Damn....one of the best Roulette beats I have heard. This is just from some random records he picked up and made in what was probably a couple of hours of real-time, and somehow it came out dripping in his style and was very complex as well.
There’s not too many “final product“ beats that you hear at the end of these episodes, that would knock you out if it opened up an album. E double got it on lock right here. If I put on a new record by him, and this was the first joint? I’d be up out of my seat. Straight legend.
Eric Sermon has always had a signature sound to his production, whether with EPMD or his solo joints. He picked three random albums and the track still came out with that signature Death Squad sound. And it's not as easy as he makes it look, please believe that. Like Guru said, "If you ain't got it, you ain't got it."
The realest RR. Going through hardship. Thinking “damn I lost it”. And then the love for this shit brings you up. You dig more. And you find diamonds. Let’s learn from this man and make it happen.
And still, THE BEST MASS APPEAL, TO DATE!!!!! What he had to work with and how he wasn't pleased with the first one, COMPLETELY flipped it and made a KILLER BEAT for the 2nd one!!!!!
I was thinking today. Eric Sermon is by far one of my favorite producers! His work with Redman and Keith Murray in the mid 90's changed the northeast sound forever.
bruhhhhh, seeing your process compared to the other Rhythm Roulettes.... you really put thought into the moment. Much respect. That 2 seconds was priceless.
I like how he used the sequencer of the keyboard instead of over complicating things with going to the computer software . that's when you know your a True pioneer , when you don't need all that software stuff , and you use pure creativity to create riffs and samples. Pure fire .
Man when I saw those records I thought E was screwed, but I should've known better. That man can make a dope beat with anything, and he just proved it.
Erick is without a doubt an unsung hero in the hip hop game. Incredibly talented and has layed down some of the smoothest tracks I've ever heard both on the R&B and hip hop. I've been playing drums since I was about 4 years old and wasn't interested in hip hop at all until I went to college and heard EPMD through my roommates. I was strictly into Go Go which was the music i grew up on in the DMV. When I heard Erick Sermons beats, I became a hop hop fan. Thanks for laying the foundation for all the cats that followed you Erick and for making me recognize hip hop. Respect you to the fullest my Dude. JW
One of the best Ryythm Rouletes IMHO ...Eric Sermon is KING ... This dope like a habit, these cats got to have it The MP breakdown, I'm beatin' on the tablet
The fact he somehow found a Sheena E. Sample saying “E” and sprinkled it in there as a light stab was dope af.
💯💯💯
You can see in his eyes how focused he is, it's so intriguing ...
He delivered one the sickest beat of Rhythm Roulette in my opinion !
Erick Sermon is one of the best to ever do it, but for some reason he never shows up on any "Greatest Producers" lists. Shout out to Mass Appeal for making this happen.
Amen to everything you said my Brotha... Respect.
That's because he didn't cut his own dick off and jump out a 2nd story window. Now THAT'S BIG TIME!
He's in my top 5 sheeat!
yo i see all over the place on youtube
That’s what’s up!
Eric Sermon is no rookie. Look at how fast he listens to the albums & captures the sound. He's a master craftsman.
He's one of the best
@@hornyconvict The Green-Eyed Bandit, One & Only Funklord 💯
The proof is in the pudding aint it?
Definitely not…dude handled that Motif like a big boss. And days a new rig too.
Finally a Show For Real Music Producers.... Word Is Bond Son....
3:35 that "oh word..?" face. The golden moment your hear what you've been listening for. Every beat maker makes that face at that moment.
+Zayd Shakur LOL, Man you ain't never lied about that!
I thought it was the "what the fuck did I pick?" face lol
+Zayd Shakur my nigga FACTS!
+Zayd Shakur look he takes at the record. Quality.
+Zayd Shakur word up
eric sermon always had the dopest basslines
Tony Mahoney Him and Pete Rock.
and Nottz
and Rockwilder
@@lecksbeats nba vol 2 knew what was up
BrooklynEverydayTV anything brotha lynch hung and phonkbetta produced had the dopest baselines 😂
Once he loaded the samples & started playing himself, his eyes lit up like a kid at a candy store. He’s very creative! This was great to watch. Brilliant dude!
Man this guys bananas as a producer man
He killed it!!!! seriously
What makes this so dope is he was willing to say I got to do it over. That refusal to be defeated. Loved this episode.
Crockpots and Cook Books.
He refused to make make some bullshit. That's the same thing Large Pro said in his episode which he created that heat.
1000% official bro
I think he is a perfectionist. He wanted perfection and being limited to selection made him dig deeper.
They should put out an mixtape with all the beats from this serious.... that would be dope!
Get a patent for that idea and make'em pay you when it drop.
Thank you
D0PE IDEA!
That's a shitload of clearance lol
That's alot of beats
Erick has a youthful spirit.... A legend and originator in HIP-HOP 30yrs plus and just look at bruh in this video handling these albums to sample, "E" looks like a kid in a candy store. GOD BLESS ERICK SERMON!!!!!!
like all great artists, but he definitely got the humblest disposition ive ever seen in a great!
I feel that ! Top 10 all time
He could probably go through those same 3 records again and come up with at least 6 more beats and each one be OFFICIAL!!!
Blakkset true
Anyone could do that
Blakkset Comment 186 AGREES. P2TG
Tyhler Novac not to many bruh
Blakkset 192 + 1000 agrees think

*cough* 9th Wonder *cough*
I've always been a fan of Erick Sermon's production. He's definitely one of the all-time great hip-hop producers.
The first beat he made was actually dope!!!!!!
U know the name of that beat ??
That last track he did would be a Hit Squad/Def Squad BANGAHH
I thought the same thing! Was like, no, you gotta keep going with that.
@@TheGorillafoot As a guy that makes beats, my friends always pick the ones i hate, we usually dislike the ones ppl like lol
right
This dude produced the classic Dave Hollister album Ghetto Hymns. One of the most slept on producers out there.
Wow!! Didn't know that!
@@tamarastone141he produced Call on Me, Missing You
Also Alfonzo Hunter's underrated classic album Blacka Da Berry and the classic Just The Way
@@theillustratxr Just The Way Playas Play, Everyday All Day 💯
@@Dee_Nice89 bruh💯🔥🔥🔥🔥as young as I am, that's a classic
@@theillustratxr yes sir, takes me back to the 90s when I was young frfr
By no means do I know how to make a beat but. But watching these dudes make something hot out of nothing is pure amazing

Shawn Wavy not made from nothing. lots of production goes into the original content.but I feel you.
theres a lot more than nothing before they start

Honestly the best beat I heard on all of Rhythm Roulette. Actually a fire ass beat.
Top 10 hands down . Highly underrated seriously .
Erick Sermon Forever.
and ever !!
And ever!
And ever!Hip Hop has a lot of valuable classic producers!
and ever and ever! no bullocks.
Forever-ever? Forever-ever! #DefSquad!
And this is still one of the best rhythm roulettes
One of Grandmasters and pillars of hip-hop. Show nothing but respect.

The motiff is still a very sought after keyboard you'd be lucky to get one today in good condition .

I still got my now 16 year old Motf ES 6 still rocking it. These boards are like tanks as they just don't die.

Yes!! I've always thought the same. Wish someone would lay a track on it.
The Green Eyed Bandid at his best !!! Love his beats and his style.

I totally agree...
Dude he made two friggen beats haha. So dope
DMVLeGenD96 So true
MIKE WING I see you! lol
DMVLeGenD96 I loved Black Milk's joint as well.
Eric sermon sound in double or nothing is still Legendary and the sound on the red tape is still dope to this fay
Love it. He's using the equipment from my day. Respect. EPMD for life!
yo I've watched this episode a gang of times
Me too. Specifically the end where the beat plays
What E did on Tonight's Da Night remains the GOAT in his catalog, and infectious as it gets. Seeing how he approaches this challenge to spin straw into gold is equally as inspiring.
Damn....one of the best Roulette beats I have heard. This is just from some random records he picked up and made in what was probably a couple of hours of real-time, and somehow it came out dripping in his style and was very complex as well.
The Green Eyed Bandit...One of the most underrated Producers to ever do it.
Erick Sermon is the real deal. A true artist and has the magic that seldom arises from beneath the Earth. Thank you
This man is literally a living legend!
Seeing E chef it up in the kitchen this dude makes it look so easy his ear is tuned so perfect to all his productions props to the Greeneyed Bandit!!
There’s not too many “final product“ beats that you hear at the end of these episodes, that would knock you out if it opened up an album. E double got it on lock right here. If I put on a new record by him, and this was the first joint? I’d be up out of my seat. Straight legend.
Iv'e seen this at least 5 times and it keeps getting better. HipHop!
One of the best Rhythm Roulette that I've ever seen. That second beat tho....
That man is a living legend,dope beats - peace and love from Bulgaria ;) !

This was the best rhythm roulette thus far!!! He murdered this track!!! Great sample choice!!!
I keep coming back to this one, dope beat still, long live Erick Sermon!
Same here!!! Someone looped it but I dont see it anymore.
Easily the best beat produced on this show by far!!!!
9th wonder by far. But respect.
@@SyckwunWrong.
got a lot of satisfaction out of watching that beat come together, shit was pretty nice. sermon did his thing, fareal.
Such a legend. Got nothing but love for Erick Sermon!
One of the greatest producers ever!!!!!!!!!!! Raps was always on point too. Big up to the E-Dub!!!!!
The realest RR. Going through hardship. Thinking “damn I lost it”. And then the love for this shit brings you up. You dig more. And you find diamonds. Let’s learn from this man and make it happen.
E always got that e.coast funk.
no ifs or buts, no question, the BEST. sermon is number 1 of all time.
This is like watching Picasso Paint in real life. Erick Sermon is a LEGEND!
And still, THE BEST MASS APPEAL, TO DATE!!!!! What he had to work with and how he wasn't pleased with the first one, COMPLETELY flipped it and made a KILLER BEAT for the 2nd one!!!!!
Yo check his eyes when he's on the keys working his magic! THE MAN IS A GENIUS
You know how dope he is. He thought that first go was wack I thought it was incredible. He is a perfectionist and definitely one of the best ever
Eric is one of my Favorite Producers his funk head nodding beats are still dope to my ears today as it was when I first heard his music
respec fron dominican republic real hip hop bless
Turned out brilliant!!! One of the best music producers out there!
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you have imagined" i needed that right now, thanks Green Eyed Bandit.
He's know more for EPMD but quiet as it's kept one of the most underrated rap producers of all time !
still comes back to this episode. One of the dopest beats in the series.
Best beat so far on this.
word!! its almost not fair.Now y'all have to grab marley marl or someone who can match the legendary status
The beat he came up with on his second try is amazing! Erick Sermon is incredible. Great episode! Thanks, Mass Appeal.
One of the best beats I've ever heard ! 🔥🔥🔥
FACTS
This is one of the best of Rhythm Roulette!
@3:51 - When you know you found the spot, now you just got to hit it right. Erick always brings the Sermon, preach! ✊🏽
I was thinking today. Eric Sermon is by far one of my favorite producers! His work with Redman and Keith Murray in the mid 90's changed the northeast sound forever.
My god, I need that! E one of the dopest producers of my lifetime
The best beat of them all... This is that real NYC hip hop sound
Scheherazade is a piece I once played in concert band. That shit straight slaps.
Rimskiy-Korsakov, love this thing
One of my favorite producers of the 90s 🔥🔥 the goat
This one and the one with 9th are the bests until now imo.
A true inspiration for this Portuguese Producer 🙏
Peace to y'all boombap fans
Sermon and Preemo are my fav NYC based producers of all time
I hope they put Q-Tip on this.
+jvinson Q-Tip a fucking recluse, man, he'd never do this. They didn't even put out acapellas on Tribe 12-inches back in the day.
+jvinson or pete rock!
D Brooks - Large Professor would be good too.
+jvinson they have a Large Pro one now. It's sooo dope.
+jvinson Me too!!!
I lost count of how many times I've watch Eric sermon
He looks so sad in few shots it's hilarious hahahah
lmaoooooooooooo
lol
***** lol yeah...but still, great music as always :D
lol word, but he murdered this joint, this is probably my favorite one in the series, but im just being biased, lol
word, he's one of my all time favorite producers, and he's so slept on
The green eye bandit is always on point when it comes to music
Erick Sermon has some of the most hilariously awkward expressions during this. he looks like Sway's expression during someones freestyle
great example 3:40
hahahahaha yeah
Haha, that's what was cracking me up the whole time.
He looks disgusted or irritated lmao
Ive noticed Premo do that face too
I love the old school sampling method and the way he put this together on the Motif 6! An oldie but goodie!
One of the all time greats for sure!!!! Nobody can do it like he do
The legend continues dope to see Eric Sermon haven't seen or heard anything from him in years "DOPE"
Saw that Sheena Easton record in the store and bought just cause I wanted to remember how he flipped that vocal. Really interesting bounce.
bruhhhhh, seeing your process compared to the other Rhythm Roulettes.... you really put thought into the moment. Much respect. That 2 seconds was priceless.
3:35, that look when the producer finds the jackpot sample
One of my favorite producers. E Dub keeps it funky
“Music” alone is sampling 101
I like how he used the sequencer of the keyboard instead of over complicating things with going to the computer software . that's when you know your a True pioneer , when you don't need all that software stuff ,
and you use pure creativity to create riffs and samples.
Pure fire .

🤣💀
Thought exactly the Same 😂😂😂😂😂
or our step moms
Just the breadth of ideas he was experimenting with, a lot of the sounds he was sketching could have been masterworks all in their own
BEST ONE SO FAR
Marco Polo tops this for me still. But this might be second.
Idk marco polo is one of my favorite producers but i think erick got better records
marco ramirez Cool. But I was referring to the Rhythm Roulettes. To each is own.
DaComebakKid Lol i meant as in the samples for the beat they had to make
The best episode ever i luv this beat... peace
Erick was acting like he got three record with crap on it but he found gems on those joints and made a bangin' beat like it was child's play.
