I don't think this man really knows how many lives he's changed and how many are making beats because of him. I'm one of them, since 1990 I been following this man!
Pete is my favorite beat maker/Producer in Hip-Hop. Thanks for sharing this. BTW, the 12-inch remix of "Take You There" is my favorite beat of his. The way he flipped that "Nautilus" jawn using that bassline was insane. Much respect!
That “Take You There Remix” is so slept on. My favorite PR flip of Nautilus is “It’s Like That” with the Lox. Classic joint which he originally used on the last episode of the Arsenio Hall Show.
I have been listening to Pete since my homeboy passed me the promo cassette for Mecca and the Soul Brother back in 1990. I still rock an instrumental playlist of his to this day. I think one of his most slept on beats is "For Petes Sake". That beat alone, contains at least 3 loops that he could have easily used for separate songs and this doesn't include the ill break change up. The way this dude layers, blends and fades them in and out like a Classical Orchestra conductor and back then in 91 is still other worldly. And I swear it was his beats that contained bass-lines that were waaay thicker and deeper than everyone before him.
Pete is a Super producer!! 👍🏾🔥🔥 I have listened to this brothers sounds and Dj activities since he first came on the radio WBLS. His productions comes from years of hip hop back when it first started 👍🏾🙏🏾
Much respect to you P.R … most definitely one of the greatest pioneers of the culture.. and a major influence on me wanting to become a dj/producer!!!!
Pete your music means everything to me and to every person who is a consumer, a buyer or just a collector, it's been part of my life and everyone else's. Coming from a true Pete Rock. My favorite album from you is definitely PeteStrumentals. I love listening to that album. I'm definitely gonna looking out for more music from you. Peace and love.
3:30 … I can’t believe he didn’t mention Talib, Big Pun, or The God MC Rakim!😱 Nonetheless, I’m definitely looking for the Pete Rock and common Collabo!🎧🎶🎤🔥
Great interview from one of the greatest and most consistent. Always good to hear Pete's introspect! I still spin his album with Flee Lord, got some serious heaters on it. Love that he gave props to Vitamin D, I've been screaming for years that Vitamin is one of the most criminally slept-on and overlooked producers!
Pete Rock has always been my go too Emcee Producer, then Diamond D, Jay Dela, black milk and Many more! always on the look out for New work from him! Salute real Hip Hop Great🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍 Thanks to this video, because just ordered CD of The Return of the SP1200 Vol 2 Big up to Okayplayer! Subbed!
wish there was an interview of him which he goes in details about his sounds, not that deep just to the extend so I could hear the thoughts of master himself. he is my teacher and coach I learned my style and everything I know from his songs, having a vocal guide would be more than anything as there is no video out there like that if you love music let it shown
Tbh he's probably the goat hip hop producer living when it comes to technical skills and versatility. I prefer alchemist vibe as my favorite but i think Pete is better.
I don't think Pete rose to THAT level, he was brought in due to a family member (Heavy D). If he was down with all the weirdo shyt he would've been getting the ass kissing Dr Dre gets now
Great Producer...He surprises me sometimes, but I don't always like all of his beats, but he's overall a great producer, I mean, one of his beat tapes that was leaker or whatever had me nodding my head back in 2005!!!
Nice content but it sucks when the questions arent spoken. Makes it to where i cant multitask and listen to this while doing something else, cause if i dont see the question i just have to guess what he was answering based on context. Atleast use the corny AI voice if you dont wanna speak
it's annoying, but it's not knuckles it seems to be his beads necklace rubbing against his mic on the neck hole when he's moving the person who fixed his mic isn't very professional plus post production engineers aren't either, i believe with AI tools this artifact could have been removed or made much quieter
All of his music os not black american samples …. And he said alot of the Jamaican sound influenced how he created his songs… ie deep grooving bass lines, very crispy tigh drums and very dreamy effects…. You definitely never listened to dub, ska, and reggae of the 70s…. James Brown is his idol but his sound is based off what was played in his household y his father…. I dont think he said anything wrong you just want to interpret it how you want to interpret it
@@Darie2006dub ska reggae and all of that ACTUALLY has black american roots and influence. And modern hip hop emceeing didn't come from any toasting either
@@Darie2006Pete is a legend, but ain’t shit Jamaican about how his music sounds. All of those qualities you described are very much present in Black American music as well. He’s also 100% wrong about hip-hop having roots in Jamaica.
Those horns on Troy will bring tear to your eyes
Common & Pete Rock....... Long overdue...... Can't wait to hear this shit 💯 👑 👑
They have worked together before..years ago..
The album gonna be of the hook! 🔥
Man, I've been ready for that album!!! Hope it comes out soon!!!!! 🔥
@@GoodxJcoming out this week
Troy. They reminisce over you is one of the greatest songs in hip hop
T.R.O.Y is extremely high level classic
DEFINITELY!
The Main Ingredient is such an underappreciated and brilliant record. Flawless really.
Great interview shout-out to Pete for holdin' real rap down
I don't think this man really knows how many lives he's changed and how many are making beats because of him. I'm one of them, since 1990 I been following this man!
That Kurupt. Dr Dre joint is bananas 💯💯💯
Okayplayer I need a Black Thought and Pete Rock collab album it would be the Ultimate Hip-Hop 🎁
🤯
I second that
That project is almost 30 years overdue.
Intact, Thought should streams of thought with Pete and Preem before dropping a Roots record.
That would be hard
I’m soooo waiting for this Common and Pete Rock album

petes ig is one of my favs
It would be amazing if Pete Rock & Smoke DZA would get back together and make Don't smoke rock II. That last album in 2016 was special.
The background beat for this interview is amazing
I have been listening to Pete since my homeboy passed me the promo cassette for Mecca and the Soul Brother back in 1990. I still rock an instrumental playlist of his to this day. I think one of his most slept on beats is "For Petes Sake".

By far one of my favorites... More convos like this with Pete Rock. GOAT talk frfr.
No one cooler than Mr. Rock!!!!
My top 5 easily. The man is incredible. Shouts to Pete and Grap.
My favorite hip hop producer. Super stoked when I heard Nas' The Art of It & Queensbridge Politics! I was hearing greatness. 👏👏☝️
I used to listen to PR on WBLS. I remember a set where he played Beats off the SP 1200 Live on the air while cuttin’ Raps and Breaks.
Pete is a Super producer!! 👍🏾🔥🔥
I have listened to this brothers sounds and Dj activities since he first came on the radio WBLS.
His productions comes from years of hip hop back when it first started 👍🏾🙏🏾
And he was a teenager back then. I still have some ' BLS Pete Rock tapes.
Pete is a humble and talented dude. BIG UP!!
Amazing, love it and love PETE ROCK, Pete. You Amazing, handsome and a beautiful person

Pete Rock is one of the greats and a cool dude in real life. I met him at a DJ Tony Touch boatride birthday party.
Stellar
"Aiyyo, I rumble into action, son I'm right on target
Legendary status with the way the track started" - Pete Rock
3:30 … I can’t believe he didn’t mention Talib, Big Pun, or The God MC Rakim!😱

Anyway we can get an OG Okay Player member like Scott Storch up on this?
Soul Brother!
True!! I gotta peep this!
wish there was an interview of him which he goes in details about his sounds, not that deep just to the extend so I could hear the thoughts of master himself. he is my teacher and coach I learned my style and everything I know from his songs, having a vocal guide would be more than anything as there is no video out there like that
if you love music let it shown
top 5 all time, maybe top 3. Dre Preemo Pete Rock Large Pro Havoc
Rock talks on beat
Those 2 Camp lo cds was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was literally waiting for him to mention MADLIB and he did. 11:43
Dilla for sure.
Tbh he's probably the goat hip hop producer living when it comes to technical skills and versatility. I prefer alchemist vibe as my favorite but i think Pete is better.
I knew he would say TROY right before he said it. lol
Beat playing at the beginning in the back?
Talking about personal tastes here but Mecca and the soul brother might as well be the best Hip Hop record ever
Pedro, toma um like
Come on, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth has to have one more LP in them ???
🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏽🇩🇴
Tell us about the humiliation rituals and the blood sacrifices.
🤦🏽♂️
I don't think Pete rose to THAT level, he was brought in due to a family member (Heavy D). If he was down with all the weirdo shyt he would've been getting the ass kissing Dr Dre gets now

Wtf is up with the knuckle cracking sound throughout the video!? Kind of an unnecessary filler lol
it's annoying, but it's not knuckles it seems to be his beads necklace rubbing against his mic on the neck hole when he's moving
the person who fixed his mic isn't very professional
plus post production engineers aren't either, i believe with AI tools this artifact could have been removed or made much quieter
@BayanTheOne daaamn nice catch! Was trying to figure out what was causing it.
All your music is black American sample so how in the hell is it 70 percent Caribbean
All of his music os not black american samples …. And he said alot of the Jamaican sound influenced how he created his songs… ie deep grooving bass lines, very crispy tigh drums and very dreamy effects…. You definitely never listened to dub, ska, and reggae of the 70s…. James Brown is his idol but his sound is based off what was played in his household y his father…. I dont think he said anything wrong you just want to interpret it how you want to interpret it
@@Darie2006dub ska reggae and all of that ACTUALLY has black american roots and influence. And modern hip hop emceeing didn't come from any toasting either
@@Darie2006 listen for yourself

Not even just the samples. The way his beats were constructed is clearly Black American influenced. Hell, he calls himself Soul Brother #1.
