    I gotta give it to you, a lot of sampled base hip hop these days don't capture the feel of early to mid nineties hip hop, yours, however, does. A number of the songs you played in this video could've easily fit in with what I was listening to back then and wouldn't sounds out of place at all. Salutes, man.

    That’s 1st beat was tight. I started with the 500 too! I always love hip hop since the 80s but I was 38 when I started beat making and now I’m 50 and still loving it. I have a Maschine Mk2 and a MPK 25.

    3:08 - Dope man, sounds early Preemo. Something he would have made for MOP back in the day. Maybe even something for Guru.
    3:34 - Where's ODB when you need him!?
    8:58 - Love this one man. DITC / Large Professor vibes to the max. I hear those classic Christmas bell jingles
    Great to see Hip Hop is alive and well in your neck of the woods dude. Keep it up.

    I will always remember that "Hip hop and rap, yeah that's where my heart's at" sample from a Bomb Worldwide (Bomb Hip Hop Records) album I bought probably around 2000. Too lazy to look it up, but I think it was a German group and the track was "Hip Hop und Rap."
    Love your stuff, and it's cool that you've tracked your journey. Here's to 12 years.

    Dude this inspired the shit out of me. I just started making vinyl sample based beats 2 months ago and this is the level I aspire to reach. It's crazy because looking for inspiration usually I come across tons of kids who just do this to be famous and make money but don't realize the years of work that it takes to reach higher levels. This is the real shit right here. Learning to play machines like an instrument, hearing the right sounds, doing it for the music. Thank you for this and your contribution to the culture. Now I'm going to go find your beat tapes.

    Workflow wise my favourite is the 2000XL.
    Sound wise it's the Emax 1.
