...does that ish bang? That's the only consideration for a real beatmaker. Does it make the poppers pop, and the breakers break? Does it make you get hype in the club, in the jeep, in the street? If so, loop that ish. Loop it and doen't do a single thing else with it, I really gives a damn.

This is hip-hop, not classical. The process doesn't matter with your audience: only the result. If you're making beats to impress other beatmakers, go ahead and spend 5 hours EQ'ing a snare, or avoiding hot samples just so you can say your stuff is sample-free; but if you are trying to move the crowd, or inspire an emcee to flow his ass off, or inspire a B-boy to bust the illest move he's ever done in his life...just get the job done.

Make it hip-hop by any means necessary...loop that jawn til the breakadawn!

Peace,
