    i love how all the producers on rhythm roulette always make a total banger and then say "well, this beat sucks, but i did what i could."

      I'd disagree here. I think there have been more misses than hits from Rhythm Roulette over the years. Sampling like this isn't really the game anymore so honestly there have been some Grade-A garbage beats produced on Rhythm Roulette. That said, MP and 9th Wonder killed it, but this type of thing is how they make beats in the first place.

      Indeed, I try to approach sampling this way.I think anyone with a nice sample from the jump could potentially make a banger but to come up with heat with miscellaneous not so appealing chops is quite amazing.

  • @Bartholomule01
    @Bartholomule01 10 років тому +47

    This is by far the most impressive episode I have seen. Not only was he a bit unlucky ending up with three 12 inch singles, but despite only having three or four songs to work with he actually made his entire beat with samples from the records and nothing else.
    The beat is fuckin' dope too.

    • @boombapbenny5050
      @boombapbenny5050 4 роки тому +5

      He didn't make the entire beat using the samples, he used a computer program for the melody and used his own drums. Impressive nonetheless.

  • @HipHopAus

So I found the OG model on Craigslist and it was riding a bike. I still only mix on my MPC too. That’s what we used to do. I love that he drops the “not broke don’t fix” line. Idc what VSTs you got. 85% of these producers can’t even gain stage correctly so....😂🤨✊✊✊✊

    To me.. Marco Polo is up there with the best beat makers of all time. Hes very under rated. The only producer more under rated than Marco is me...
