A few weeks ago I bought a new pair of headphones (my last two had only had one ear playing, I got monitors but can't play them loud) and was in the mood to make some new beats.

So since it was a few days around my being-born day, I decided to kind of celebrate it with a new beat-tape project with ten beats (with a few interludes), five beats will be created from scratch from beginning to end in twelve days, while the other five while unfinished beats I've had laying around on diskettes from previous months to years and finished making & programming those within the same twelve days as the other five beats.

I've been wanting to get back to making beats my old way on some weird boom-bap crafting of samples with unusual use of efx tweaking instead of the norm; all these joints were crafted on my MPC 2000XL, no outboard equipment, no keyboards or controllers, no DAWs, no plug-ins, no sound modules, just sampling a ton of records and ingenuity; I would really appreciate it if my Lessonheads at least check it out and tell me what you think.

damn!

Good work.

Thanks mane, I've been putting in work on that thing for mad years, being in all these beat competitions over the years really help home my craft especially in the past few years, even though I'm still very green when it comes to a DAW, when I did get one and was trying to learn it, the laptop crashed and instead of trying to start all over again I just said fuck it, I need to keep exploring the MPC on it's own.

Also I'm trying to catch up to the dopeness that you yourself been hitting people in the head with, in other words you got that heat that keeps me on my toes.
