Side comment: did anyone really have a revelation when Havoc said this? I thought it was a well known thing. Nothing makes that noise but the stove.
I always knew it was the sound of a pilot at the beginning, but never realized that he flipped it to carry throughout the rest of the beat. I always assumed it was a segue to just a standard, run of the mill hi hat loop. I love the nuances and complexity of its sound now that I'm aware of it.


while copyright owners of said samples looking at that shyt like 
Hav's genius was that he flipped them in such a way to hide or make them damn near unrecognizable yet still amazing.



damn just played the video, that beat is still cold as a February night
