anyone else here love this show?

who made the best beat?

i got:

1) el-p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q06UxOKc7io
2) apollo brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A8guoBpIfA
3) black milk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC09Jh8lwNc

1) Erick Sermon https://youtube.com/watch?&v=6fzj40vi3DA
2) J-Zone https://youtube.com/watch?&v=nlh6pSNCjLc
3) Cardiak https://youtube.com/watch?v=PRBJ7BnFjg4

I Agree, Dope Show

yes

>yes

can't you imagine Redman destroying that, w/ a video via Da Brat "Give It 2 U", celebs in a mansion celebrating being on...

Banger

I just subscribed to the massappeal playlist of it, just so I don't miss anything. The last few though, seems like they're bending the assumed rules. Dudes are like "Nah, I don't wanna do anything with this one, I know it too well." The earlier ones, dudes would make due with all 3 records. 88 Keys is a great example, cuz he picked that Steve Martin record.

ya'll like mine? lol

... The emcee part was cool - I dig TM - but really wasn't needed.

ya'll like mine? lol

>ya'll like mine? lol

hell yeah... sounds like a show banger

... El is always funny as hell... Milk's beat was just nasty.

thank you for putting me on to this. even aside from the beats, I dig seeing producers' set ups/studios so this is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

To see who's using MP's, Maschine, or WinXP, for whatever reason, is all dope to me.

ah man, i came in there ready to hate... and it met my expectations for garbage. not feeling that one at all.

"entertaining".

He ask to be on there, so I'm now guessing that his interest in being included was more about the screen time and less about showing his skill.

Def. the weakest outcome I've seen thus far.

one way or the other, but that was on point.

AND he actually respected the prompt of using all three records.

He did his thing and I'm not mad.

not only do i want my 5 min back..but i want that Universal Audio Apollo damn it.

Never heard of him. Here he goes:

Lots of cheesy synths, but I like it in a DOOM kind of way.

Also, it's not a fun vid to watch where dudes are just chopping in Ableton. I know, whatever gets the job done, but it's just not interesting to watch.*

*Exception goes to Apollo Brown, for chopping solely in WinXP.

I have more respect for cats who can chop by ear on hardware. Different strokes for different folks i guess.


Instagram: ascensionmusic

been so pissed about what you just said

but time teaches you lessons and you're right...

El-P, Sermon, and Apollo Brown all killed it. Gonna check the rest of them tonight.

Sampled 2 N64 games and an NES game.

http://youtu.be/rSfUiKUo6m4

Not sure if actually planned out his venture or just didn't care but it looks like he's the kind of producer who needs a few days to make a dope beat & not on the spot.

He's beat wasn't bad but not up to par to what he's done beat-wise.

http://youtu.be/8GbMX-g7xmE

shit was wack as hell.

if they can't get madlib and em, they need to get exile or someone that level of famousness... the last few (oh no excluded) have been crap.

There were a few others who made killer beats like Marco Polo, Babu, etc, but Erick Sermon was so dope that his first beat that he didn't like & erased was hot too.

Dudes have 10 minutes to make a beat from scratch.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg5ScSqSDXsvXVvNqW42AjfOmPjIupYZH

https://youtu.be/0G4fmSMzM_A

I was expecting the final joint to be a bit more soulful but that shit is dope regardless.

Do you realize how much dope music hasn't been made from these cats and Outkast?

I feel like Kast going in their own direction production-wise held them back a bit.

Dre's need to be different and need to be unique became a priority over quality. And that's not to say all records that Kast produced weren't dope but the more production they handled, the more they declined.

Imagine if they just stuck with ONP leading the way with production.

>Imagine if they just stuck with ONP leading the way with
>production.

That's too many songs from ATLiens, Aquemini, Stank,and Idlewild that are drastically different, or don't exist at all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Y-_ZjIeNg

This isn't new in the slightest, but ever since I started playing it about an hour or so ago, I've been rewinding the portion where he plays the somewhat finished product.

Pure heat.


**edit**

I'm curious why the records he selected were obscured since the other artists usually reveal the stuff they pick out. Interesting.

Wivum Woolette!

I do miss when they'd try to jam up shit from all 3 records.

I like that he used all 3 joints. I thought he should have kept that little guitar lick he had in there though, that was dope. Every time I see one of these it makes me want to break out my gear and make a beat...

he outskilled almost everyone by using all three records. when trag jumped on the joint i got goosebumps. HIP HOP!

always was....whoa...........

like none other. That vid proves he's one of the last from that era of true neck-snapping producers skilled in sampling who killed in during the 90's. I remember seeing Large digging at Beat Street records in the East Village here in NYC a few years back, it was good inspiration for when I was searching for my own stack.

Large Professor did what I expected, he's never been a let down, I remember X-Tra P. brought his SP1200 to CMFamalam Show, and was loading and playing beats live back in Feb. 1999 and he was show hyped then.

I've always liked his production and this doesn't disappoint, I liked how he sampled the last record but didn't care for it but still found a way to fit it in like a puzzle; and then calling up Tradegy to spit a freestyle was nothing but icing on the cake.

His beat is one of the best but I still think Erick Sermon was the best to do Rhythm Roulette so far.

always has, always will

large pro killed it

who owns the beats once they are created? Could each producer release the beat for their own purposes later on down the line or does Mass Appeal own the finish product?

It was such a banger I wondered whether he had a secret arrangement with Sprite to allow him to make a premade beat

I just assumed it was so good because he was drinking Sprite.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7HbNN9Mknc

not bad... the first one especially

He picked some gems so didn't seem that tough. Not my favorite episode by far. They need to get thes one already
werd.

Did 9th shut off the air in his room?

No hate towards Khrysis because I do love his production discog, but that had me illin.

Dr. Love is a super duper classic amongst house/disco heads.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce8r9RfK1wk

One of my favorite episodes for sure...

I watched it twice.
9th's was definitely the best.
He had the most personality & the best beats.

Every beat I was like "wow this is nice" when he was putting it together, and then the finished beat was a whole nother level of dopeness on top of that.

he surpassed Erick Sermon, El-P, and Black Milk...

I like at the end he says "nas, stop playing around, you know where to find me"


werd.

Apparently he went to hardware and couldn't figure out to program hi hats properly so he just said fuck it.

https://youtu.be/aZVhCuDxtU8

i might boycott the series from here on out

Doom ripped it

As soon as they put it up as "MF" I knew it was a hoax - he goes by just DOOM now.
Do you think they let that dude on the street know it was fake after? Would they have to get him to sign a release?
The amount of time it took for his phone to turn on and he still didn't figure out it was a fake was incredible!

He was too excited to see he mask was oversized and super crooked.

Watch it to the end, the second one was a banger!!

>Watch it to the end, the second one was a banger!!

The first beat was kind of a dud but this second one was rocking!

I'm not an elvis fan or like his music but that record, all of them had some heat on them; anyway the beat he did was good but he could've also beefed up those drums too.

Arguably the best one. He's just a master at this point it seems.

dude is so prolific and his quality level is ridiculous.

I liked Nottz's joint since it's been a while since someone (since Erick Sermon) really knocked it out of the park with the Rhythm Roulette series.

I've been to this record store a bunch of times. It's not the original location though. They downsized something terrible.

There's really no comparison to what it was.

https://youtu.be/R4uZ8S8HBKg

I think Havoc could've came with some better heat, infact he had some hi-hats on the track then took 'em off.

Also I noticed he only listened to one album instead of going thru all three before sampling, I'm not going to front General Johnson & Chairmen Of The Board old stuff got some soul heat on them and didn't need to go to another record to make some beats but that's the purpose of Rhythm Roulette is to use all three records.

Really diggin that beat.

He wasn't lying when he said he had bad picks. Him being able to pull that beat out of those records is astounding.

He used all three records and to me both beats he did were dope, some used one or two records and made some decent joints but Erick is the only one who made heat from all three joints...twice!

and always has been. He belongs on the short list forth skill and influence.

https://youtu.be/1ydKvzllJD4

The Beatminerz did good, Evil D's beat was dope, so was Mr. Walt's even though they didn't play his at the end.

Just wish they used all three records instead of both of them picking the same one record.

They both seemed like they were having a really good time. I like how KRIT went so far as to rap over it and make a new joint on the spot. That's gotta have been a first on the show.

Not the first time someone has written on the spot for RR though.

considering he was the first person really doing this sort of stuff in public. Also more veterans, Easy Mo Bee (guy still uses the SP-12oo and it's amazing what guys like him can do on that thing).

easy mo bee would be dope.

legends like pete rock, q-tip, premier would be good to see.

i'd love to see a proper one with damu the fudgemunk cause of the way he layers samples. Dudes like RJD2 would be good in that regard too - those with interesting techniques.

I think the big name people that have already done it need to spread the word to their peers to let them know that it could be fun, and it's good exposure. Hell, just say "Nas owns Mass Appeal" and be done with it.

I've seen Havoc on a tear of making beats live since his episode aired.

I know Kev's process and I already know he will do a great job with no matter what he picks to sample.

I rather see a few not-so-well-known producers do the show, especially some of the west coast blap producers like Dibia$e and what not.

I'm just tired of seeing well known producer take one out of three records, make a beat, and call it the day, I want a kat who doesn't think he can get away with just using one record and got something to prove to others.

would be all I need

https://youtu.be/RapBG3Erq5I

In my heart of hearts, I would've put the Al Green record back. I dunno though.

That was one of the worst episodes so far along with OhNo's, how you get three dope records, he chose the Al Green joint and basically made some simple shit? :(

all three records had heat, and that's what he made? how are you gunna leave that dope drum break off the first record alone amnd make some plodding simple shit outta al green?

horrible

>how are you gunna leave that dope drum break
>off the first record alone amnd make some
>plodding simple shit outta al green?

Once I heard the break I was like "oh snap he got some heat right from the bat to chop up", nope he didn't even touch it, then the cuban dance joint (talking about "I don't mess with Bodega music") and that probably had some heat since he liked to slow down his samples with listening, but no he went with Al Green. smh.

.

Everything about this beat was some generic modern 808 shit, w/ a looped sample underneath. Why even bother to sample then?

my fave thus far. but i can't say i've seen most.

https://youtu.be/-DEGJMQxPR4

What's the point of picking three records if all they're going to do is make a beat from each one or just one record instead of making a one beat from all three?

Dahi wasn't bad, I liked how he made a joint from those records but...yeah what I said in the sentence above.

when cats make 3 beats, at least it shows their prolific ability...

When a cat makes one beat off only one sample and leaves the other records alone, in my mind, they are conceding, and that's a L....

When a cat makes a beat actually using all three records in some form or fashion, they are showing TRUE SKILL.....

That's how I gauge them joints.....

Even at my novice level, I can make 3 separate beats from 3 records. There haven't been any steadfast rules, but the idea was always to make 1 beat from 3 records.

I'm still thankful for everyone that does this show, though.

I wish they let the 2nd beat ride out longer once he added the bassline

Like......nigga....seriously....

https://youtu.be/7vpgCapG6lg


I've skipped upping for the past few, because they were total bullshit.

if the lunacy from his web series that was posted on YouTube a while ago would come up. Low and behold, the dude was wobbling a record into a iPod for a beat.

I'd love to hear rappers tell stories about this dude, but I have a feeling others have too much love for him and his beats to want to do him dirty.

It appears he's a bit of an off the wall type of cat. Peep how much of his attire has his own 45 King logo on it; it appears he had some armband wallet type contraption as he was walking to the record store.

I haven't watched this yet, but I expect to be entertained. his youtube videos were hilarity.

Just for the simple fact he came stuck to the rules by using all 3 records to create a sound.... by physically manipulating the record. Hilarious dude right there. Good for him.... roll dat shit, light dat shit, schmoke it


werd.

he said he's doing it next week!

I don't have YouTube access at work, so I can't link it, but have you seen the video of him breaking down how he made the beat for 3 Kings? Pretty long and highly detailed video. Was also interesting how long that beat was on the shelf.

https://youtu.be/Z95fxi6g9Is?list=PL_QcLOtFJOUgNxURr8B4lNtf_3e9fWZzl

I mentioned the instrument, just in case anyone else gets bored watching people stare at Ableton.

Beat was dope. Wish he woulda used all 3 records just for the hell of it, but he done did it with just the one.

werd.

Jokes aside, it does kind of feel lifeless watching someone draw music on a grid on a computer screen.

that wasn't his studio, but he still knew how to work the equipment. He mostly uses the 1ooo and 4ooo but he had the Renaissance down pat with no problem. They don't make them like this guy anymore.

how dope would it have been to see him flip a beat on the SP 1200? man, that would've made my year.

i wonder when they're going to get pete...

https://youtu.be/N_yPIaTsNXk

I dig a lot of his stuff though.

The 1ooo has 16 pads, the 5oo has 12. And only 1 line of text on the screen. Shit is a pain to use.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4uZ8S8HBKg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndesJ5ecLvA

I'm surprised that Mass Appeal hasn't collected the beats and made an instrumental series of them all.

It'd be worth it for the Erick Sermon and Just Blaze beats alone.

Peace,

I wasn't disappointed.

not quite up to the standards of large pro (who also used all three records), but really good. ill bassline too.

i actually think this is a great way to determine skill of producer - the guys who i felt were technically the best (i.e. in terms of drum programming, melding records, consistency) have invariably made the dopest shit.

https://youtu.be/AwLi87C25wQ

https://youtu.be/kOx2rbcfTMs

He did his thing on this one, that second beat was a killer.

kilt it

and he had a thread about something he was working on. Jeffy comes in asks him, "Who you beat for baby" and he was like "uhhhhh" man that shit was funny.

>uhhhhhhh

>Jeffy comes in asks him, "Who you beat for baby" and he was like
>"uhhhhh" man that shit was funny.

made the shit look too easy lol

His drums are on point, can listen to them solo, but his sample choice is just okay, his use of his keys are better than the sample chops, once again another producer doesn't make a beat from all three records but just two separate beats from two records; that's not challenging at all.

https://youtu.be/RBveQ9gXkAw

https://youtu.be/m5q1ckVzOBk

Got by with 2 of the 3 records.

Finished product came out dope.

https://youtu.be/A7orRIfVAsg

https://youtu.be/6sRBGplcBQ4

it's cool to see him give Moody's some shine, but I was disappointed he didn't use any vinyl mainly because I wanted to see him work with some reggae tunes. It's been years since I've been there, but I had no clue Moody's sold CDs.

In regards to the beat itself, it was pretty good, but he didn't adhere to using all three selections, which was disappointing. I wonder if he was pressed for time.

>but I was disappointed he didn't use any vinyl.

>In regards to the beat itself, it was pretty good,

Agreed, beat was good, wished he used something from the other two cds, though.

https://youtu.be/tOILLZWC2fM

Personally I think anybody with a boom-bap mind frame could've knocked it out the park with those records, but these kats didn't do it for me, I was anticipating it to be some dope beat and was disappointed.

https://youtu.be/_6jgHjKo4dk

I'm not into trap or southern bounce beats but I actually liked his beat, I thought he had some better selections on that Psychedelic Cumbia album https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Rough-Guide-To-Psychedelic-Cumbia/release/8395384 but he did great with the layering, at first I was hating on it when he added the bass & hi-hats but after it all came together I was surprised.

A lil Joell Ortiz, too.

https://youtu.be/or1JZLZ5gc4

He's always been more of a vision guy and less of a technician, like Prince Paul, so I didn't expect him to smash it the way others did. But I liked that the beat was raw and that he didn't add much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQkC6AkfPmo

I mean, damb.....*edit: and done in less than 10 minutes....

I watch it as religiously as I do RR. It's crazy what people come up with in 10 minutes.

https://youtu.be/ySfqj61gvj8

3 separate beats, instead of 1 beat with all 3 records.

there's a few lesser known and unknown folks on it that have done really well, so I was curious about whether or not the show asks or the artists, or maybe both.

Haven't listened yet.

https://youtu.be/rC7rjaOfoqE

He got

OFF THE WALL
DONUTS
...and a Madlib beat w/a Mayer hook.

C'mon fam.

Very quietly dope. Plus hipped me to a cat I had no idea beforehand. I didn't know he did "Numbers On the Hoard" which is straight nasty.

And he's nice on the beats.

I might give it to Zone because of the drums.

https://youtu.be/733JlYQgWPw

.... from the "MF Doom" episode?

so I had to get on the three records and shit, so fuck it-lemme use the three records and shit

-Extra P

Only one I like better than his is Stro.

from all 3 records. That's why I'd tip the hat to Extra P and Erick Sermon. He was rocking the hell out of that Push, though.

https://youtu.be/L3DraROFmZk

1 record used.

https://youtu.be/qrGhSU8nWZk

Can't see close enough to know if it's Logic or ProTools.

https://youtu.be/IKbuAoEEF44

https://youtu.be/qOEh9nmIbGQ

come on now...

That's almost cheating. And by almost, I mean it is. Everyone knows the dopest (and most expensive) stuff is on the wall.

Cheating at its finest!!!

is that Good Records is such a tiny store, so I'm fairly certain whoever picked the records from the wall knew what they were doing.

This was the best one for a good min. IMHO! Got the drums off the recs dope to me, plus they got real creative w the bass... Solid funky stuff!!!

https://youtu.be/0rUpI4zIlL8

https://youtu.be/HS_1tTnoYQ0

Do you think it's cheating if they use soul samples?

I'm not mad at it, but I find the ones that have different samples more enjoyable than those that pick a four tops album.

It really depends on how you flip the sample. A good chop is always appreciated. They don't really have much of a choice with what they get. I like the crazy records the best.

It's only cheating if you choose from off the wall (like Mayer & Jake)

https://youtu.be/eW1LZz_Jrsg

this is garbage

>this is garbage


^^^

felt the same way especially since I heard quite a few that he passes on only to play a sample backwards and add stock sound clips ....

https://youtu.be/k5SSre8PgQs

He did a better job with VHS tapes than Oh No did with videogames.

to post Rhythm Roulette that aren't from Mass Appeal that folks shoot on their own? There's one I want to post, but curious how folks would feel about it.

https://massappeal.com/rhythm-roulette-bootlegs-best-of/#barry-beats

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YFrPJ4NroY

Here's the one I was thinking about in my initial question.

https://youtu.be/A-JBsTazcUg

I'm not even a producer but I know damn well if he slow that down there was good samples there.

I'm pretty sure the sample he made was used by Nas for one of those throwaways that was really dope....but I don't remember which song.

Beat was okay, turning a Aretha song into island trap is kinda weird tho....

https://youtu.be/fmKLERyDUFY

Produced "i" for K-Dot.

https://youtu.be/WDEd1H2k6sM

The first one with the weird sample was better tho, there's prolly more heat on that album too.

Both of those beats would sound good with Flatbush Zombies on them.

https://youtu.be/O2HifS0TMHY

I just began the trial of Sample last night. I need more time with it, but it's not bad. Purists might hate, but I envy a kid who starts out with this.

....i want to upgrade to this, but this shit seems so over the top too

or super unknown people, like scour the city for people and give them a spotlight. These past dozen or so episodes just aren't interesting to me.

https://youtu.be/cLf3KCQYaEw

https://youtu.be/kds7LV0PqJE

I keep up with his production and outside of his stuff with Aloe Blacc he doesn't do much soul work.

...beat was dope AF, as expected. Wish Strong Arm Steady was still a thing so they could kill it.

I do wonder how much time these producers actually spend listening to the records they pick up. They way the videos are presented, it's assumed the records are picked up and the beats are created the same day; I wonder if the producers are given a good stretch of time to sit down with the records without the Mass Appeal cameras on.

When I watch people like Hi-Tek,Organized Noize or David Banner's eps it looks like they spent hours on they shit.

I don't think every producer is built to making a beat off top like that and we see it in real time.

I'd bet it's the producers themselves that don't take the time to listen to the whole record and find heat and instead be listening to track 1 or 2 and go from there.

If you’ve never seen this nonsense, it’s when “________ producer makes a beat ON THE SPOT!” …. Using premade loops with which they’ve been supplied.

Plus, half the time it seems like it’s something laughable, like Baby Bash producer makes a beat ON THE SPOT and it’s a guy with, like 2 baby bash credits from 07 and the “ON THE SPOT!” Beat is anchored by some premade Spanish guitar lick and obnoxiously large handclap combo used in the BB record to begin with.

I only watch them because I'm a content junkie but man... some of those are terrible.

Rhythm roulette is straight for the most part though.

As a fun aside, the entertainment factor can be high because some of these cats are clearly suburban dudes with outlandishly cartoonish, swagged out personas that come across like if the characters from Madagascar had a Freaky Friday bodyswap experience with a suburban human.

Maschine Masters as a whole is alright with me, but these videos be boooring. Especially when somebody's mans'nem comes through to spit some poop bars.

https://youtu.be/MBN3NEqcM5w

Hopefully the producer finds some real talent to work with....he's gonna make something remarkable one day.

https://youtu.be/74UyrLOa0BE

The 3rd Dr. Dre-ish one was kinda hot.

all the wavy shit they've been doing lately had me really disinterested, but this one was great.

denaun is that dude

Quite quite impressive. The confidence and open mindedness he started out with served him well since I've heard too many of these producers sneer at disco records before the needle even hits the groove of the vinyl on these videos.

Someone educate me; the section below the normal records stack where Mr. Porter selected this record from; are those areas for dollar bin less in demand type records?

some are a dollar, 1.99, overstock from the bins above. nothin' special

He and DJ Khalil just joined 9th as my fav. Eps so far.

https://youtu.be/FKhS7ZXNeo4

A step backwards, in quality, especially after Mr. Porter.

at the end he's like:

"no keyboard, no midi, no sustain pedal... logic, not fruity loops... sample... who does that?"

spare me the bullshit, his beat was basic AF

I don't have a problem with the looping, a dope loop is a dope loop, but you don't get props for going out of your way to suck the life out of the sample and add shit drums and patterns to it.

this guy clearly has no idea wtf he is doing

Nigga bought 3 steaks, threw 2 in the trash, burnt the last one and made it unrecognizable, and still served it like it was gold.

And he pulled some of the best records to work with.

How do you pull a Bill Withers record and a Phyllis Hyman record....and still come up with trash.

There have been RRs where the producers spitshined some basic sample into a diamond....then we have this. This was as bad as the Mac Miller one.

he's been making media appearances promoting ...something lately and this was likely another stop for him. my estimation of this disaster of an episode was that his management signed him up for it and he took the shortest route out of there by using the first thing he heard in the laziest and quickest way possible. the cringey hubris at the end of the episode was nice bonus

in his defense he's not really much of a sampler. in fact i don't think i've ever heard him sample before so i don't even know why he was on this series to begin with

because doing it properly takes a keen ear and a skillset exclusive to the art itself. He has neither so I can't hold it against him. The posturing is quite telling, either as a way to save face or an overall lack of understanding of what makes sampling unique.

so he's aight with me.

I like seeing people play over samples, not in a way that I think it's better than just using samples, but what people come up with is interesting to me.

way better than that trash from last week.

The producers are compelled to use Serato - so you don't see the way they would make a beat by themselves per say. Although it still appears to be in their own studio.

So its still an advertisement,just not as overt.

I don't like!

are they running out of interested parties or something?

my fav one this year ( not even an official Rhythm Roulette one but still )

I think, in pulling some of the bigger names of dudes with songs on the radio, those dudes are not challenge material. Even London on da Track’s face was like “Ewwww” the whole time.

It was suppose to be about a producer picking three records and making "one beat" with "all three" records, but instead kats are making one beat for each record they sample from.

Most the beats been lame and so has the creativity has been lost too, a few people made some good ones but didn't really follow the rules, the ones who did follow the rules was doing nice but the creators of the show been letting anybody do what they want lately, and please stop with them letting a rapper rap over the beat as soon as it's done, that's getting tired too.

I've skipped about 10 of these hoes since my last post, because they've been truly awful.

He made it dope IMO, but it didn't sound like any of the samples.

Kinda surprised Sir Michael didn't rap on it.

make this shit more interesting.

Sike!

But here's a old feature that is probably the closest thing to Rhythm Roulette featuring Madlib that we're ever going to get:

"Madlib Makes a Beat w/ Sony's MVR - LA to Tokyo"

Some of the commenters feel that our friend Otis Jr. was trolling VICE and possibly there to get paid. Yeah, I hope he got paid to do this. LOL.

He's been making beats for mad years, I love how he just hooked up the sounds so easily, and him using a stock Ultimate Breaks & Beats break and still making it sound fresh was the surprising thing.

dude killed this and the Tracklib part was dope too.
