always liked this gem




plus others but ill settle for this


Ski actually produced that.

I used to think it was Just Blaze also. :mjcry:

Ski killed it though

Song cry is :banderas:

I don't know if it's actually true that there's 70 or so chops on that beat, but if so, cot damn it's seamless. Beautiful song.

Dear Summer still :banderas:


shyt sounds like no other Just Blaze beat. Almost picked it as my favorite.

I'm goin with "what we do" off freeway's album, cuz that might be the most PIFF roc-a-fella song ever.

solo tracks, I might have to go with "ignorant shyt".

Am I dumb for knowing the noise every couple bars is the end of the word "wrong" ? It took me years to figure that out.
:snoop:

Ignorant shyt being cut from TBA for Justify My Thug will always be a travesty.

man fukk just.. what does he have in the vaults:damn:
Too much. Did you catch this from the other day? I got a download link if you need it.

He plays an unreleased joint with him and jay Elec, he plays another Jay Elec beat he did for Exhibit G. He plays an unreleased Blueprint 3 song that got cut for sample clearance issues. He plays an unreleased Busta and M.O.P. joint. He plays an intro for "someone's album." He plays the original Drake Lord Knows beat, and a beat he did for Rick Ross. He plays a dope House of Pain/Harlem Shuffle flip.

Lots of cool shyt on here.

Hovi Baby is lowkey one of Hov's best songs.

The beat is :mindblown:

Probably one of the most intricate, layered beats ever. Even 14 years later that shyt sounds futuristic and next level.

Dynasty intro.


Just blaze on the intro:
“Duro, who’s a good friend of mine, mixed that record. Guru used to record everything and Duro used to mix the majority of the records. Now Guru pretty much does both. That was one of the first records of my career and it bothered me for years that I wasn’t present at the mix for it. It’s one of the only Jay records where I wasn’t involved in the mix.

“I didn’t get to hear the final mix before it went to mastering. So there were two separate loops that were playing at the same time and weren’t supposed to be, but Duro didn’t know that. There was no time to do anything about it.

“That singing in the sample wasn’t supposed to be playing every four bars. On top of that, there are two different samples playing that sound very similar, they were supposed alternate. Instead, because the two similar audio signals are playing in tandem, it has a flanging sound. It makes it sound like you’re listening to an airplane or something.

“It was a huge mistake but would I change it now if I could? I don’t know. I would probably want to find a way to fix that but I’ve heard so many times that people love it the way it is. The record has become a classic intro. A lot of people argue that it’s one of the best intros ever. When the people have spoken, sometimes you can’t mess with that. You’ve got to let it be what it is.”

Song Cry is also 1 hell of a great beat.
It has so many layers.

First you hear the beat with the Clap on top of it. And than at the end of the song there's only a Rimshyt and than the Clap comes back.

I also think it doesn't matter whether a beat is looped or chopped. Sometimes using big loops need hella many chops placed behind each other.
And some dudes only chop 3 notes and make it bang that way.
Using large parts of songs is actually much harder usually i think.
