So much rich
weaponry right here.

Feels like opening your Father's hidden jewelry box or some shit, all kinda exotic rubys, diamonds, gemstones, emeralds 'n shit.

But yeah, definitely hard to find a *naked snare in it to grab, tho.

You make a good azz point. When the source-material is as big and open as this(15mins long) and chock-full of jewelz throughout, that "kid inna candy store" element kicks in and you then have the dilemma of:

"Damn, its SOOOOO much hot shit in here, where do I even begin?"

And as beatsmiths, we'll laugh at that but thas some real ass shit to deal with because it can stagger your flow up. Because of that, I typically do one full listen and say:

"Okay, she got a lot to offer, instead of trifling over all da jewelz, Ima just resolve myself to continually making more than one joint out of this"

^ ^ ^That helps me navigate the potential insatiability of source-material that is hyper-abundant wit jewelz.




Hope dat shit made sense.

Posted by NoDrawls McGraw, Thu Apr-19-18 10:22 PM
...per my Shinobi code, I never listen prior to making my own so as to ensure that my creative-trajectory is completely natural, organic, and unbiased.

Can't wait to peep it tho.

I know its gon' be heat.



3004276, I understand
Posted by _Torchbaras, Fri Apr-20-18 03:10 AM
To the wise, the code is never to be strayed from. Theres whispers of people ignoring the fact, leading to their downfall... On the real tho, thats a great mantra for all creatives really.

just need to ruff mix it.

This one was a mix exercise for me...that sample was rough to manipulate.
3004854, okay..here's my contribution this go round
Posted by liveguy, Fri May-04-18 08:36 PM

I literally couldn't do anything with this sample...and I tried, but I lack patience.

This was the best one of the two attempts.

Was a tough one, so I used this as more of a mix exercise than anything else.

Drums knocking and attempted some wah on the main, bass kinda tucked in there somewhere.

Anyway...did the best I felt.

Lemme know...

We need to find a way to move the CHOPS over to twitter somehow.

Posted by _Torchbaras, Thu May-31-18 05:02 PM
to me would be concerning copyright infringement and indulging in that in broad daylight, w names on sources making it easy for an algoritm to pick up people to prosecute or shut down... Not sure Im ready for that kinda heat LOL
