The Joy
It's hard enough trying to name anything from recent as a classic. What's the last album from anyone that is universally looked at as a classic? I have my opinions, but no one agrees on shyt nowadays.
In my opinion these are classic beats:
If we're talking actual classic, this is the last true Pete joint that was classic.
Mad dope beats since, but this was the end of the GOAT run he was on. Still a Top 10 producer though.
Word
My favorite off that album is this
"Take Your Time" was dope too!
When he got away from the SP 1200, and started working on the MPC, his kinda lost his sound, to me. It didn't have that same knock and groove. But from '92-'98, he was easily one of my favorites. You couldn't lose with a Pete Rock beat back then.
I agree, but he still uses the SP 1200, or at least has beats from the stash that he uses.Right?!
Man I love that song; that’s one of those songs I can ride around and listen to on repeat all night long
That’s it!
It’s his move away from the SP 1200 that changed that soulful groove and knock to his beats.
Bro, I miss that 91 to 98’ era of Pete Rock’s production
