If I could I'd buy records everyday of the week
But then I would have no money for when I'm with my freak

**** with these records I ain't never going to sleep
But that's how it is when you're into this shit

[Quasimoto]
Want this

[Madlib]
Paying 60 dollars for a simple drum lick

[Quasimoto]
What about your beat

[Madlib]
Spending 2 hours looking for a certain kick
Man
I ain't about to buy a beat man
I can't even find a disk man to sell it
Man, what the ****

I make beats everyday of the week
I used to listen to the "Sound of the Zeekers"
Rock and Roll
Now I'm over here on smashing your speakers
Boss 303
MP 1200
MPC 4000
Do my loop dumping
Numbing

You know how it goes
Really, really y'all know how it goes
Music taking over your body
Beat taking over your soul
I be passing up parties, quit parties
But never passing a bowl
Pass me that weed
Psychedelic record covers
Jazz standards
Funk soul
That's a choir
Eletronic patterns
It's the raw addict
My A is tape comfort over ill record static
Oh, oh, oh addict
Ya'll better scram like I'm Broadway Sam
Well I say

I just look for individual sounds that I could string.

what ever is hot i cop

pure dopeness

anything that sounds nice

I try to use the least obvious part. Whatever I think most people would use, I stay away from it. I like to have people guessing where the sample came from and the source is right under their nose.
