    One the MOST UNDERRATED PRODUCERS EVER!!! Str8 raw style, and still that golden era feel. it would be fly if Pete Rock and K-Def did a project together.

    You know what would make this series better? How about dropping some knowledge about the producer before they start. Or just posting some fun fact bubbles through out the episode.

      +Dave Totally agree with you !

      No way, why not research them yourself?

      @Dave.... 8 років тому +31

      Kenny Lopez cause it will make their show much better. Knowing this guy produced this and that.

    • @TuMalditaMadre
      @TuMalditaMadre 8 років тому +42

      I'm more interested in viewing their personal setup, what hardware they use, what records they get, how they chop up and arrange the samples and how they make magic out of nothing. If I like their style, I'm definitely searching for their music. It's like looking for samples, you can dig for them or pay people to do it for you. Where's the fun in that?

      +Dave hah. They played one of his beats at the intro. Like they do on all the videos, they play a beat by the featured producer.

    K-Def is CRIMINALLY underrated. Found the DOPE on his blind picks! Amazing chops too. 🔥▶️💾

    @100nujabes 8 років тому +35

    I know the artists don't want to risk making something wack making them look dumb but I wish they didn't always go to the soul or jazz section. This beat was still dope as fuck, though. Some samurai champloo shit.

    This was impressive. Seemed like he didn't even try that hard. I also didn't expect him to use all 3 together like that. I found it interested how he forced them to work with each other. It was a very different approach from most other people. The drums could have been better though.
