These days, the world’s top rap artists come calling for DJ Toomp’s trademark drum patterns. Naturally, it wasn’t always so.

Behind the Atlanta producer’s extraordinary achievements is a history of record collecting, machine manipulation and self-education, a kind of holy trinity for durability in the game. Keen to impress the importance of learning about the business side of music, Toomp is proof that it’s not just skills that pay the bills - feeding your head about the nuts and bolts of the industry is just as important.

[@fabrizi7362]

Great interviewer please give him his props👍🔥🔥

[@AAAA-nv5cf]

The interviewer was really monotone and seem disinterested

[@bbfitw2008]

Love all your interviews, but please do not cut off the songs that this classic producer was playing for us?

[@AAAA-nv5cf]

They do it to avoid copyrights

[@stephaniesimmons8529]

the interviewer doesn't seem aware that Jay-Z originated that tired ass "I'm not a rapper I'm a hustler" line he so huffy toward Jeezy about, yet all reverential asking about the moment Jay first heard big brother lol...hip hop purists so aggy, sht like that why pimp C said "these country rap tunes!"
