Turn on the turntable, let the needle touch the record
I'll find the right sound, I'm used to coping under pressure
You dig, you look, you skip tracks and skip back
Take pieces of old music, mix match and flip tracks
After that, you spit rap to get daps and hit ass
Yo, wait, what's that?
Yeah, the piano part, bring it back
Yeah, yeah, that's it right there
Now let me loop that in the sampler
The piano piece caught my ear
Give me a sec
Nothing better than a piano loop
But let me get this perfect
Let me pitch it up a bit
A little faster might be worth it
Yeah, yeah, okay
73 beats per minute
And still don't loop right
Let me try at 74
And that should make it loop tight
There we go
Now the sample bumpin' hard
Sounding like methodical fairy tales
Or something dark
It's giving me ideas already
The mood's the melody
Shit, I'm losing track
Wait, the beat still needs developing
Alright, I got my sample
So now I need a drum kit
Let me try out this one kick
Yeah, that's something I could run with
Now I figure out a pattern
Like runnin' plays in Madden
Let the kicks sit on the sample
Make magic like Aladdin
And now I need a snare
So let me try this here
Nah, I'm too dirty
The kick's too clear
But does the mix right
So let me try this rim shot
A little bit of hand clap
To give it a touch of hip hop
Okay, that kinda work
Yeah, I like that
Maybe add some cymbals
Nah, fuck it
Don't need no hi-hat
Just wanna get something in my head, you know
Take me somewhere else
Before I drop this back
Yeah, I drop the drum now
Listen how the drums sound
It's almost there
But this ain't done
And I ain't tryin' to jump the gun now
Track is sounding right
But I ain't finished
Man, it's take time
Still adjusting levels
And gotta filter both the bassline
Like, just turn the highs way down
There we go
Now I got my bass sound
Drop the beat again
Yeah, that's sounding better now
Drum is sounding crisp
Bass is thick
Yeah, the bass is fixed
Now what could I lace with it?
Yes, I'll put a change in it
Rearrange a bit
Add some things
And take you to another place with it
Music is moves
Don't matter how it's produced
Don't matter what tool you use
Or the instruments that you choose
It's all a vibe listen
I can switch right quick
From laid back to hype shit
With a drum roll flash
And it's like kick
Bring back the piano
Switch between the two samples
Turn up the clap
And pan and shake us to the left channel
Yeah, it's working
Almost sound complete
I probably won't be using it
Jordan, you want this beat?
Yeah, I kinda like the way this beat is flowing now
Maybe later on I'll rise some shit
And pour it down and I know
Oh, shit
Yo, yo, hold on, hold on, hold on
Let me get that back
Hold on, hold on
It's like
September 10th, 2011
About midnight
At a Volvo Land
And just sent
Unshackled
Which, just I remember
Not even a month ago
Charleston
Sitting in my room
Watching footage
With Ben and Adam
Dreaming of coming and trying it
Stone's down here alone
Alex and Seth were here earlier
But they dipped out
And I just wanted to come back
And work this a few more times
There's a V10 in Colorado
Hopefully the first of more
