    Al a beast for rocking 16 chops on the ASR 10 without a choke group or mono mode. I could never get myself to use more than 3 or 4 chops on the keys. The MPC spoiled me with that capability once I graduated to one. I love my ASR 10 though.

    Mistakes are what makes humans' music beautiful. I don't want perfection in music (same as a good woman). I want to love the flaws. Similarly, I want my guitars to be worn down in the places that weren't done by a relic specialist in the factory; And my jeans' holes to tell the stories they were torn from. These artists are the relics. Ppl say that (insert genre here) is dead, but when is the last time you peeped the scene? When AL was talkin about slowing down the keystrokes to swing the beat the way he wanted, thats the stuff that seperates us from them. I joke with my bass player all the time that we are only ever out of tune with each other when we stop playing! So my prophetic pathetic ass sees real MF will be pitted against the computers, and thats when we will bust out the schwifty style music that resonates with all heartbeats, and is simply just an expression of presence in the moment! Long live the groove

    I've been making music for many years, so i gotta say, I don't know exactly when he started, but I know a couple of the earliest records he did, and I read he went to NYU to learn recording (possibly), but what I appreciate about his talk is a couple of things. 1- he's an established hiphop producer, yet he doesn't seem to be acting like a $#!@ , he seems more humble and cool to offer advice on producing. 2- he doesn't talk like a hood, hardrock,thug or whatever but More professional and better educated.

      I don't know how old you are, but old people love ignoring the content of the video to focus on random stuff like "thugs" and "hood rats" and I guess most established "hip-hop" producers are "shits" or whatever you censored.
      It's not even that you comment is "racist" it's just randomly skewed negative for no reason with an emphasis on black people in just a general sense? Like, you make it sound like a common occurrence, you didn't even mention the track or the techniques. This is what I'm getting from your message
      "This very casual white dude who is speaking completely normally is way better than those usual hip-hop hood rats thugs" he isn't even being super professional he sounds relaxed that's why your comment is so weird, it's like your perception is skewed or something

    I miss when producing was this straight forward. Now you literally need a degree😒

    I like truncated parts of that sample which I think he could’ve flipped better - I don’t really love the whole sample

    Something about his production doesn’t do it for me. It feels like it should sound good but it doesn’t.
