Here goes my peoples, feedback preciated!!!

Made the drums from two different breaks, three-four countin the bells.

Made the organ and piano lines from two separate breaks.

Did the bass part by pitchin a nice solo, only minimal choppin.

Added bits and pieces + fx and thats that...

Felt good to make somethin different, but it def. Takes away a lotta "my sound" not introducin heavy programmin... Still a fresh challenge tho.

man...thats pure fire

i'ma up one soon

but damn that joint is right... love the bass...the electric piano...the drums

its got a real nice hop to it

i can't even name the breaks :)

...stamp of approval rite there – I know your knowledge runs deep, so you not knowin the breaks off the head is proof my camouflage works lol...

On the lo tho,

Dennis Coffey & The Detroit Guitar Band – Whole Lot Of Love
Sly Dunbar – Oriental Taxi
Bob Andy – Troubled Woman
Cedric Im Brooks – Silent Force
The Duncans – Gonna Stay In Love
Nathan Davis – A Thought For Cannon

And I preciate the words bout the different elements of the track, glad you felt it!!!

Waitin on that joint...

you know what time it is!

studio is about to be up and running too!

Good to hear the studio comin together!!!

Sorry for the hold up on my end, will get back at you SOON bro...

Thought it was too... Might start choppin more and programmin less far as bass goes...

I gotta stress it, youre the master of minimalism in these...

This is soo simple and yet it feels soo whole - boom bap at its finest rite here!!!

The piano chops are perfection, two main chords and some single dangs that goes with both of them and BAM its a wrap!!!
Simply beautiful.

Drums are just as simple, soundin real dope and that lil da-da-dan breakdown? Ridic!!!

Subtle subbass be the icing, and adds your mark even more.

Maan, this warms my heart.

thanks a lot fam

i'm definitely a minimalist

really appreciate the words

O_O

VERY effective!
No Hyperbole but you lifted GURU from the grave on this.
Could here Guru body this on some, "I'm back bitchez!" type shit.

*Daps*

thanks!

appreciate the words and ears...

Be back in lil bit.....

I shouldve known that the "...back ina lil bit" was solely a means of confusin us all, to the point wed give up and

BOOOOMMM

youd appear ina cloud of smoke and drop the ill bomb...

A lil somethin I call, "Lessondary Ramenz" 'cus I literally just now finished dis shit like 20 minutes ago while eatin' some Ramenz....

Anyway....

*Triple back-flips into da shadows*

- I can def. hear the ramens thru the cracks...

Nice lil uptempo heater bringin chipmonk soul back!

I dig the echoed chimes goin from loop end and overlappin to set the starter hit for the verse part!

I like how your joints always type breezy, both mix and vibewise, lots of mid his and air, prevents shit from gettin muddy and secures everythin comes thru with the crispness!!!

Good one man, goodness!!!

Even tho the beat is mad short, I had a lot of fun crafting that bad boy.
These chop sessions are a blessing 'cus I'll just put it out there, I'm LAZY AS HELL...and I be slackin on my beatsmithin' so the Lesson be keepin' me on my toes like, "Yo, get on yo Job Sun, deez Lesson ninjaz bangin out heat inna chop session. Get BUSY!"....

We all swords in here sharpening each other, ya dig.

Was working on this the beginning of June but the heat got bad that I couldn't work on any music for two weeks but this past weekend I got to go do my regular things and working on beats was one of them.

Since we had to use classic breaks I went to my Ultimate Breaks & Beats collection and chose songs to sample from, I started out with over ten samples but ended up deleting a few cause I went overboard but I stuck with these six: (1)"Long Red (Live)" for kicks, claps, & shouts; (2)Gary Numan's "Films" for looped drum roll & efx; (3)Funk Inc. "Kool Is Back" for horns; (4)Barrabas "Woman" for bassline; (5)ESG's "UFO" for it's classic sound effect; & (6)sampled Pleasure's "Joyous" breakdown.

"UBB Hexagon": https://soundcloud.com/djjoeyjoe/ubb-hexagon-okp-chops-15-pt9

this feels like a journey in breaks – its strange, cause nearly all the elements are known to my ear, I just never heard em combined like this, a beautiful puzzle!

Got that mosaic feel, mix is real nice, so even tho some of the elements are very different from eachother melodically, it dont matter - you did a SOLID job levellin, stitchin and gluein!!!

Drums has real thickness, and the underlyin synth provides some welcomed darkness...

Good stuff man, you really brought the breaks!
