Just don’t believe Havoc sample a stove and believe that’s cap. I just don’t see that shyt happening. The story sound cool as hell but i can tell some bullshyt when I hear it. Classic beat though.

This was back when nikkas was actually creative wit they shyt.
It's been confirmed he sampled a stove though.

I make beats myself and am a fan of Havoc. I’m a real student of the game when it comes to producing. Havoc never seemed like the type to be sampling sounds outside of a record. Never seemed like his style and I never heard of him using any other real life sounds for percussion. Also, I’m just never saw this nikka being in the projects with a field recorder recording sounds at that time, or hooking a mic up to some hardware and sampling a stove hissing. I always thought that story didn’t add up.
And also, look what I found. Out his own mouth. I might be wrong sometimes, but I ain’t crazy. That shyt just never sounded right to me.
Can you speak on creating the hi-hat on the track from heating up a burner on a project stove. Were there any other unique tricks or tools you used?
The truth of the matter is that the hi-hat that I used on the actual track of “Shook Ones”sounds similar to a project stove. So, people made a correlation thinking I used the stove for the actual track because in the video, it’s the first thing that comes on along with the record. And they hear the hear the stove. So, people said, “Oh shyt, he used that for it!” Nah, it’s two different sounds, but they sound the same. It’s just a coincidence, but I let people sometimes think what they wanna think and let the track take on its own mystique (laughs).
Havoc talks ‘The Infamous’ album, the real story behind “Shook Ones Pt. II,” and its 25th anniversary
Some people are just miserable breh
Naw, some people just have their own mind and think for themselves. That story never sounded right to me.

As far as u projecting ur assumption of what Havoc does as a producer whilst never meeting him I don’t agree with but def props for posting receipts.
That ain't what he said in the interview I posted though. So I guess it's whatever you believe.
And I'm not sure why it's not believable that he'd randomly record a stove. I remember Eiht talking about CMW would sit up all night waiting for a random ass commercial to come out, that they'd heard earlier in the week. Because they wanted to record the audio off the TV and sample it. Producers were doing all sorts of crazy shyt back in the day.
Fred.
nikka what? I can assume whatever I want. Obviously I don’t know him, but as someone who’s a huge fan of his music, one can learn and assume things about his process. We all know Dre is methodical. So if Dre said I rushed this project, it wouldn’t be crazy to question that. We wouldn’t have to know him. Even though I don’t know for sure, I never saw Havoc as the type to sample like that, so I questioned the shyt.
Yeah that’s not uncommon. But besides this story, I haven’t heard any other stories of Havoc sampling like that. I always assumed he was strictly digging and chopping records
And obviously since I questioned the shyt from jump, I believe what he said in the interview I posted. He literally said I let people run with the story lol
